Latex Spraying Revisited
Latex is an emulsion and retains its characteristics in another liquid. They are difficult to spray since they do not break down in the other liquid. It is not like a solution where one disperses into the other liquid to form a homogeneous liquid.

Consider coating the relic with one of the three parylenes. The stuff might be only a few microns thick, but it resists attack by heat, chemicals and abrasion.
Read MoreMore on Low-VOC Paints
With your response to M.R.’s question on low-VOC paints in September’s Painting Clinic, you neglected to mention one other option—solvent-borne, low-VOC coatings.
Read MoreColor Variation by Spraying
e a two-part polyurethane finish system consisting of a primer and a white base coat on a conveyorized painting line. I am seeing shade variation in areas coated with the white paint. What should I do to correct the color difference problem?
Read MoreAdhesion to Zinc
We tried washing the part with an iron phosphate wash, and it helped some, but we still did not get 100-percent adhesion. Can anything be done to the part to get the topcoat to adhere?
Read MoreMaterials and Coatings Development: From Bench Scale to Application
Materials research, and more specifically the development of novel coating methods, has been a central focus of Eltron R&D since the company’s inception over 25 years ago. Eltron has developed, synthesized and characterized materials ranging from nanoparticles to thin films and ceramics for a wide range of applications in the aerospace, semiconductor, energy and automotive industries.
Read MoreElectrodeposition and Characterization of Nickel–Titania Nanocomposite Coatings from Gluconate Baths
Ni-TiO2 nanocomposites with varying titania content were electrodeposited on copper substrates employing a gluconate electrolyte. The changes in microstructure and corrosion behavior of electrodeposited nickel with respect to titania addition were studied.
Read MoreIonic Liquid [BMPy]Br as an Effective Additive During Zinc Electrodeposition from an Aqueous Sulfate Bath
The effects of a new ionic liquid additive 1-butyl-3-methylpyridinium bromide [BMPy]Br on the electrodeposition of zinc on steel substrates from acidic sulfate solution was investigated by employing potentiodynamic polarization and cyclic voltammetry techniques complemented with XRD and SEM measurements.
