Similarities and Differences between UV coatings and other types of coatings
Even though UV curing has been used commercially for over thirty years (it is the standard coating method for compact disk screen printing and lacquering for example), UV coatings are still relatively new and growing. UV liquids are being used on plastic cell phone cases, PDAs and other handheld electronic devices. UV powder coatings are being used on medium density fiberboard furniture components. While there are many similarities with other types of coatings, there are also some key differences. SimilaritiesRead More …
low temperature and UV powder coatings bring the benefits to heat sensitive substrates
Powder coating provides a durable, attractive and economical alternative to liquid paints and laminates for a wide range of heat-sensitive products such as glass and plastic materials. Powder coatings are dry, 100 percent solids paints that are spray-applied in a process similar to liquid painting. Once coated, products are conveyed through a curing oven, where the powder melts to form a durable, attractive finish. Powder coatings have long been the finish of choice for lawn & garden equipment, home appliancesRead More …
Performance innovations in powder coatings industry
Hygienic Powder Coatings Antibacterial powder coating recently developed can help prevent the spread of bacteria on products in homes, hospitals, restaurants and food-processing plants. High Temperature Resistant Powders Silicone-based powder coating are often used on products that are subjected to prolonged periods of high heat, up to 1,000ºF, and hold their color, gloss, and adhesion. Some of these products include gas and charcoal grills, fireplace inserts, engine exhaust components, and light fixtures. Thin-Film Powders Powder manufacturers are developing more powdersRead More …
HEAT-SENSITIVE SUBSTRATES is popularly welcomed in coatings industry
In recent years, ongoing research and development has been devoted to formulating powder coatings that can cure at low temperatures, below 212ºF, without compromising durability or quality. These powders can be used on temperature-sensitive materials, as well as on massive parts that require enormous amounts of energy with other curing systems. Wood materials such as particle board and fiberboard, as well as glass and plastic products, can now benefit from a powder coated finish — products that would deform orRead More …
Many new performance characteristics are available in today’s powder coatings
Many new performance characteristics are available in today’s coatings, from antibacterial properties to the ability to be cured by ultraviolet or even near-infrared radiation. Advanced Durability Recent research and testing has developed specially formulated polyester powder coating that provides even greater weatherability than achievable in previous years, and showing greater success in long-term Florida exposure testing. New TGIC-based powders are being used on outdoor stadium seating and other exterior applications that were previously susceptible to degradation from ultraviolet rays. LightRead More …
Some of the newest color innovations in powder coatings
Color variety is almost limitless these days, with many coatings suppliers offering a pallet of off-the-shelf colors, as well as custom color-match services to better meet the needs of small-volume powder users. There are also tints that can add highlight color to a substrate or base coat, such as a brass look over polished aluminum. A range from flat to high gloss is generally available. Smooth, high-gloss coatings can offer high distinctiveness of image, creating an illusion of depth orRead More …
Nanotechnology is rapidly gaining recognition to provide significant benefits for the coatings industry
Nanotechnology is rapidly gaining recognition as having the potential to provide significant benefits for the coatings industry. The most publicized benefits include scratch resistance, UV protection and weathering protection. In addition to improved coating performance, nanotechnology also provides benefits, such as reduced energy and reduced material consumption. Nanoparticles including metal oxides, clays and resins dominate the market for nanotechnology-based coatings. Newer carbon based nanotubes are now being developed for use in transparent conductive coatings and low weight, high strength coatings.Read More …
