Powder coatings are created using polymeric resins that are combined with pigments, curatives, flow modifiers, leveling agents, and additional additives. They are both solvent- and water-free systems.

Powder coating is a finish you’ll find quite often, as it’s no stranger to components exposed to the harshest environments. Hitches, suspension pieces, wheels, and even engine parts are all familiar ...

New conductive gelcoats with graphene nanotubes as a protecting layer on top of fiber-reinforced plastics (FRPs) grant engineers and designers the ability to produce special surfaces and uniformly ...

A family of conductive Noryl GTX resins is formulated for powder coatings. Noryl GTX resins are modified polyphenylene ether (PPE)/polyamide (PA) resin blends that combine PPE's dimensional stability, ...

Polymeric coatings designed for corrosion protection are usually tougher and are applied in heavier films than are appearance coatings. Requirements of such coatings are much more stringent: They must ...

Scientists in Madrid investigated the use of antireflective coatings in multijunction solar cells, drawing several conclusions that could further improve the efficiency of these cells. Their approach ...

Common defects in tablet film coating can be minimized by effective design of the tablet core and the coating process. Film coatings on pharmaceutical tablets provide a broad range of functionalities, ...

Calzavara and Desall are looking for ideas to create new coatings that contribute to defining the aesthetics of telecommunications towers, improving their integration into the urban landscape, and ...
