Anticorrosion coatings go beyond the standard topcoats seen on bridges, cars or heavy equipment exteriors. Rust-converting coatings can do much for surface prep, while removable coatings meet an important temporary protection need. Whatever the specific situation, it is good for manufacturers, maintenance crews and even construction workers to be aware of specialty coatings that can make their job easier.
Color formulation involves defining requirements and methods while also identifying variables within the environment or production process that could influence the color formulation results. In addition, color measurement instruments such as spectrophotometers and sophisticated color formulation software are essential for quantitative analysis to help achieve the right color with minimal time and waste.
The Supermill Plus offers the latest in horizontal disc mill technology. CMC's specially designed fluidizer discs agitate the beads inside the mill to make them flow in various directions.
Choosing the correct mixer for highway and road paint is critical to achieving the desired product consistency prior to application. Factors such as viscosity, solids content and mixing containers all play into the decision on which mixer is best suited for the task.
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.
