Heat Transfer of Hot Dip Aluminizing Coating During Solidification
Hot dip aluminizing coating is one of the most effective methods of surface protection for steels and is gradually gaining popularity. Although the pulling speed is one of the most important parameters to control the coating thickness of aluminizing products, however, there are few publications on the mathematical modeling of pulling speed during the hot dip process. In order to describe the correlation among the pulling speed, coating thickness and solidification time, the principle of mass and heat transfer duringRead More …

Self-cleaning Effect of Super Hydrophobic Surface
Wettability is an important feature of the solid surface, which is determined by the chemical composition and morphology of the surface. Super-hydrophilic and super hydrophobic surface characteristics are the main contents of invasive studies. The superhydrophobic (water-repellent) surface generally refers to the surface that the contact angle between water and surface is greater than 150 degrees. That people know superhydrophobic surface is mainly from plant leaves – lotus leaf surface, “self-cleaning” phenomenon. For example, water droplets can roll to rollRead More …
Research for Corrosion Resistance of Hot dipped Galvalume Coating
Hot-dipped Zn55Al1.6Si galvalume coatings has been widely used in many fields such as automobile industry, shipbuilding, machinery industry etc, owing not only to its better anti-corrosive performance than that of Zinc coating,but also to its low cost (the price of Al is lower than that of Zn at present). Rare earths such as La can hinder scale growth and increase scale adhesion, thus they have been employed to protect steels and other metallic alloys against oxidation and corrosion.

The Principle of Hydrophobic/Super Hydrophobic Coatings
Conventional sol-gel coatings were prepared using MTMOS and TEOS as silane precursors to form a smooth, clear and dense organic/inorganic network on an aluminum alloy substrate. Such coatings are known to have excellent adhesion due to their ability to form Al-O-Si linkages at the coating/substrate interface.Sample-II in this study represents such a conventional sol-gel coating. In order to reduce surface energy, and hence increase hydrophobicity, we incorporated an organo-silane containing a fluorooctyl chain, in addition to MTMOS and TEOS (sampleRead More …

Environmental advantages of powder coating mean substantial savings
Today’s environmental concerns are a major economic factor in the selection or operation of a finishing system. The environmental advantages of powder coating-no VOC problems and essentially no waste- can mean substantial savings in finishing costs. As energy costs continue to rise, other advantages of powder coating become even more important. Without the need for solvent recovery, complex filtering systems are not required, and less air has to be moved, heated, or cooled, which can be a significant cost saving.Read More …

Powder Coating Hazard
What are the powder coating hazard? Most powder coating resins are less toxic and hazard, and the curing agent is significantly more toxic than the resin. However, when formulated into a powder coating, the toxicity of the curing agent becomes very small or almost non-toxic. Animal experiments have shown that there is no death and injury symptoms after inhalation of the powder coating, but there are different degrees of irritation to the eyes and skin. Although general powder coatings haveRead More …

Advantages of Epoxy Polyester Hybrids Powder Coating
Advantages of Epoxy Polyester Hybrids Powder Coating Epoxy powder coatings based on newer technology are known as epoxy-polyester “hybrids” or “multipolymer” systems. This group of powder coatings could be considered simply part of the epoxy family, except that the high percentage of polyester utilized (often more than half the resin) makes that classification misleading. The properties of these hybrid coatings are more closely akin to epoxies than polyesters, with a few notable exceptions. They show similar flexibility in terms ofRead More …

Polyaspartic Coating Technology
The chemistry is based on the reaction of an aliphatic polyisocyanate and a polyaspartic ester, which is an aliphatic diamine. This technology was initially used in conventional two-component polyurethane solvent-borne coating formulations because the polyaspartic esters are excellent reactive diluents for high solids polyurethane coatings More recent developments in polyaspartic coating technology have concentrated on achieving low or near-zero VOC coatings where the polyaspartic ester is the main component of the co-reactant for reaction with a polyisocyanate. The unique andRead More …
Why Powder Coating
Why Powder Coating ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS The excellence of the powder-coated finish is accompanied by substantial cost savings, when compared to liquid coating systems. Since powder contains no VOCs, air used to exhaust the powder spray booth can be recirculated directly to the plant, eliminating the cost of heating or cooling the makeup air. Ovens that cure solvent-based coatings must heat and exhaust huge volumes of air to ensure that the solvent fumes do not reach a potentially explosive level. WithRead More …
Comparison between UV coatings and other coatings
Comparison between UV coatings and other 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,Read More …

Two strategies for designing coatings with exceptional mar resistance
There are two strategies are available for designing coatings with exceptional mar resistance. They can be made hard enough that the marring object does not penetrate far into the surface; or They can be made elastic enough to recover after the marring stress is removed. If the hardness strategy is chosen, the coating must have a minimum hardness. However, such coatings may fail by fracture. Film flexibility is an important factor influencing fracture resistance. Use of 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate instead ofRead More …
