[Pete] had a friend who would powder coat metal parts for him, but when he needed 16 metal parts coated, he decided he needed to develop a way to do it himself. Some research turned up the fluid bed ...

You can trace these and other powder coating problems back to one issue: parts hanging. Getting it wrong can make powder coating an excessive, unpredictable constraint. Getting it right can relieve ...

New conductive gelcoats with graphene nanotubes as a protecting layer on top of fiber-reinforced plastics (FRPs) grant engineers and designers the ability to produce special surfaces and uniformly ...

Manufacturers have had the capability to spray a powder finish on wood for some time now. But few manufacturers are taking the initiative to provide information about the process, as well as the ...

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.

A family of conductive Noryl GTX resins is formulated for powder coatings. Noryl GTX resins are modified polyphenylene ether (PPE)/polyamide (PA) resin blends that combine PPE's dimensional stability, ...

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, ...

Polymeric coatings designed for corrosion protection are usually tougher and are applied in heavier films than are appearance coatings. Requirements of such coatings are much more stringent: They must ...

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 ...

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 ...
