TGIC-free powder coatings provide cost-saving benefits
TGIC-free powder coating options are available and are being used by manufacturers worldwide to achieve the same durable finish benefits as TGIC powder coatings. In fact, there are several advantages to the newer technology. It offers not just exterior durability, but enhanced mechanical performance, as well as flow and leveling properties. TGIC-free powder coatings provide cost-saving benefits to finishers by offering superior first-pass transfer efficiencies. Companies that have converted to TGIC-free based coatings have documented first-pass transfer efficiency improvements of asRead More …
Early Silicon-Based Technologies in high temperature powder coating
Silicon resins have been used in high-performance liquid coatings for more than 40 years, including applications such as exhaust stacks, boilers, engines, mufflers and heat exchangers. When SBTs first started gaining commercial acceptance in the powder coatings market during the early 1990s, many powder-coating resins were materials based on formulations originally designed for liquid deposition. In today’s market, however, there are silicone-based resins designed specifically for powder coatings. Commercial formulations are generally either phenyl- or methyl-based, and are used toRead More …
