PPG introduces PPG STEELGUARD® 652 waterborne coating for interior structural steel. PPG Steelguard 652 cellulosic passive fire protection (PFP) coating delivers up to two hours of fire protection.

This appendix reviews various coating process technologies: diffusion coating, thermal spray (particulate deposition), physical vapor deposition (atomistic or molecular transfer), and sputtering ...

Steel products can be given a high-grade architectural finish by using a polyester powder coating over hot-dip galvanized steel. This coating is considered as one of the most long-lasting protective ...

In a step towards developing advanced materials for functional coatings, a research group has developed a technology that combines structural color coating with super water-repellent properties. The ...

Paints, that is, dyes or pigments, are often used in various industries to make colored products. The color of a dye or pigment is an inherent property of the material, which depends on its chemical ...

MXene thin films deliver brighter, more tunable structural colors and a wider color range than conventional materials, enabling scalable high-performance coatings for sensors, displays, and security ...

Regardless of customer anticipations, hot-dip galvanized structural steel has a grey coating, rather than a shiny coating. This usually leads to disagreements between galvanizers and their customers.

As described in chapter 2, the primary purposes of high-temperature structural coatings are to enable high temperature components to operate at even higher temperatures, to improve component ...

The development of melanin-based coating combines structural color with water-repellent and self-cleaning properties, emerging as a next-generation coating material. Ever wondered about the brilliant ...
