Bio-based resin technology has been a staple of the paint and coatings industry for many decades. The polyol and fatty acid components of conventional alkyds have been derived from naturally […]
A metallic substrate is a conductor and the electrostatic application of powder coating can adhere quite easily. Wood, such as medium- and low-density fiberboard (MDF and LDF), are low conductivity […]
A final coating of uniform thickness implies good leveling and the avoidance of defects during film formation. Though generally de-sired, this objective is often unmet. The outcome of a coating […]
Powder coatings continue to be an attractive technology, primarily due to reduced volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, ability to recycle overspray, and the exceptional film mechanical properties that can be […]
Biobased materials are increasingly important in the coatings industry as more companies align their sustainability goals to reduce environmental footprints and develop more eco-friendly products to meet customer needs. However, […]
Graffiti markings are everywhere. Several types of “anti-graffiti” coatings have been developed over the years to address this ever-increasing problem. Some are one-time-use only; others are semi-permanent. Most are highly […]
