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 ...

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 now preferred over liquid coating and has also been extensively employed in numerous industries due to its negligible VOC (volatile organic compound) emission, high solid content, ...

In critical fields such as aerospace, military, and industrial manufacturing, surface protection of components has been a longstanding challenge. Ceramic materials with high melting points, hardness, ...

A man in personal protective equipment stands in front of a large cargo ship undergoing a paint job by people in a lift. Cargo ships using conventional coatings need their hulls repainted every 5 ...

In a step towards developing advanced materials for functional coatings, a research group has developed a technology that combines structural color coating with super water-repellent properties. The ...

Researchers have used lignin, a natural polymer abundant in wood and other plant sources, to create a safe, low-cost and high-performing coating for use in construction. As there is a global urge to ...

Powder coating is the process by which certain types of metal are coated with paint in a powder form. The part is sprayed with or dipped in the powder, which is electrostatically charged. The parts ...
