A research team at the University of Nevada, Reno, has developed a new environmentally friendly coating for aluminum to replace the carcinogenic chromate coatings used in aerospace applications.
Photovoltaic cell efficiency may soon get a big boost, thanks to next-generation antireflection coatings crafted from nanomaterials capable of cutting down on the amount of light reflected away from a cell's surface.
Although silicone-modified polyester (SMP) and super-polyester coatings are well-suited for specific applications, they cannot provide the same proven long-term performance as 70% polyvinylidene (PVDF) coatings due to the latter’s superior chemistry.
Acrolon Ultra is a high-gloss, solvent-based acrylic polyurethane providing long-term UV protection for high-profile structures where high durability is required.
The Macrowave RF Drying System provides greater efficiency than conventional convection and infrared systems for the high-speed drying of water-based patterned glue and coatings in the converting and textile industries.
