Coating application is the rate determining step in aircraft production. Currently, aerospace coatings utilize two-component polyurethane chemistry that requires 72 hours curing time before the plane can be returned to […]
As with most coating end-users, customers in the aerospace and military sectors are always looking for ways to lower cost and increase the ease of applicability of coating technologies while […]
Paint application “feel” is a key performance attribute. Currently, it is determined empirically by a trained technician who rolls out the paint on a desired substrate and then assigns a […]
PPG announced that it will invest $17 million to build an aerospace application support center in Toulouse, France.
PPG has opened a $17 million aerospace application support center (ASC) in Toulouse, France. The facility provides filling and packaging capabilities for aerospace materials, including coatings and sealants for […]
Paint application technology depends on the type of coating and the nature of the substrate. The major types of coatings-liquid, powder, UV-curable-are all applied using different methods. Choice of technique […]
[…] an excellent painted finish with a variety of tools and techniques. The purpose of these application studies was to characterize the application properties of 50 VOC gloss paints and optimize […]
PPG has inaugurated a battery pack application center (BPAC) in Tianjin, China. The $30 million facility was designed with many features for testing the application of PPG coatings technologies, […]
[…] has confirmed this time and again. Manufacturers recognize that the ease or effort of paint application is responsible for the first, and possibly longest lasting, consumer impression and will strongly […]
