Put the UV
To the Metal
The earliest and widest adoption for
UV-cured technology was in web-based or flat-line applications
due to the ease with which the coating is exposed to minimum UV
energy to achieve cure. Many of the early applications were
limited to clearcoats or thin pigmented coatings used in
operations such as printing, where performance requirements were
minimal but high processing speeds were desired. Over the
decades, advances in raw materials, UV equipment and
manufacturing processes have resulted in adoption by industrial
coating applications for three-dimensional (3D) parts, including
direct-to-metal (DTM) applications...

Ask Joe
Powder
"How important is TiO2 in color matching? If we use
rutile 828 (Tronox®) instead of Ajantox® while making
powders, will we experience a difficulty in color matching
between the two grades? Also, is there a test that can allow us
to determine a product's lifespan without corrosion - i.e., how
much corrosion resistance can be expected if a coating passes 500
hours of salt spray testing?"
Go here to read Joe's answer.

Polyurethane Coating Stands Test of
Time
 A
specially formulated four-coat polyurethane system is ensuring a
long-lasting, quality appearance, as well as superb corrosion
resistance, on a 1.5 million gallon water steel storage tank
built by the Municipal Authority of the Township of Robinson
(MATR), near Pittsburgh, PA. Engineers specified the four-coat
polyurethane system 13 years ago because it would withstand the
rigors of hot and cold temperature extremes, air pollution, acid
rain, and virtually anything Mother Nature would send its
way.
