In the shipbuilding industry, repairs are a constant and inevitable fact of marine life, resulting in costly downtime and loss of earnings. This article explains how shipyards can put key technologies in the dock which offer speed, portability and efficiency.
The challenge presented to the engineers and scientists was to develop and demonstrate a coating that exhibits durable anti-ice performance, and satisfactory wear and erosion resistance. More importantly, it needed to be practical for retrofitting in-service aircraft as well as be used by OEMs.
Graphite Innovation and Technologies Inc. has developed an environmentally friendly, hard foul-release coating that can be easily cleaned and does not require the application of primer underlayers.
Antimicrobial coatings are used widely to protect surfaces and humans too. Get to know all the details with this guide of antimicrobial coatings, from the materials used, to benefits and risks.
Finding the right collaboration partner, vetting their technology and working to secure a technology solution for your business is a process that requires special expertise.
Seacoat's newest hull coating release, SEA-SPEED V 10 X ULTRA, helps curb marine organism fouling on the front end and makes any hull cleaning operations much easier and less expensive than conventional hull coatings, all with zero negative environmental impact due to its non-toxic chemistry on the back end of the equation.
Today there are various companies involved in the production of commercially available icephobic coatings. This article lists many of them, along with details on the coatings' technology and applications.
Because of the performance capabilities of the new water-based acrylic polymer primers and their applicability to nearly all substrates, paint manufacturers have an opportunity to consolidate their primer inventory and provide their customers with a solution for the most challenging corrosive environments.
This research aims to create a surface coating with a relatively low surface energy value that can repel the spike glycoprotein, and also through the use of active chemicals, inactivate the spike glycoprotein as well as viral nucleotides in the coronavirus.
