Coating processes on thermoplastics are multifaceted, and require precise engineering and quality controls. The effects of paint chemistry, plastic compatibility and surface quality are essential for product performance. Single-component lacquer, two-component thermosets and UV coating technologies are effective for painting and coating polypropylene substrates, and they are available in water-based chemistries.
The COVID-19 pandemic put the spotlight on microbes and cleanliness, creating more interest than ever before in antimicrobial coatings. However, bringing new innovations to the industry is not without its challenges, requiring the continual development of novel tools and procedures that can be seamlessly and invisibly incorporated into coatings.
Following the phasing out of hexavalent chromium, there was a clear need for innovation in order to offer the same level of protection against corrosion. With new micro-reservoir technology, this company is able to incorporate chemicals that were previously incompatible with coatings and offer a smart inhibitor that delivers on price and performance.
