Lead poisoning and the paint industry become new targets for "personal injury" law firms.
June 1, 1999... Despite recent, positive trends in the reduction of lead exposure to children, and the paint industry's efforts to achieve these reductions, lead poisoning has become the new target for a number of national "personal injury" law firms....

Powder coatings: part 2.(Educational Series)
June 1, 1999... Powder coating is undergoing rapid growth. Worldwide production of powder coatings in 1996 was estimated to be about 450,000 metric tons.(1) Powder coatings are used most extensively in Europe and Japan; North American production in 1996 was...

Inverse gas chromatography, surface properties, and interactions among components of paint formulations.
June 1, 1999... INTRODUCTION Thermodynamic interactions among components play a dominant role in the determination of properties in multi-component polymer systems, including those intended for use as protective coatings. Interactions have their origins...

Discrimination by EIS of degradation mechanisms in lap joints of coated metal sheet.(electrochemical impedance spectroscopy)
June 1, 1999... INTRODUCTION Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is the most widely used technique for characterizing protective organic coatings applied to metal surfaces.[1-14] However, the rather variable shape of impedance diagrams and the...

Cure behavior of polyester-acrylate hybrid powder coatings.
June 1, 1999... INTRODUCTION Increasingly stringent health, safety, and environmental regulations within the industrial finishing industry have caused coatings formulators to focus on the development of technologies that meet the dual requirements of...

Surface-fragmenting, self-polishing, tin-free antifouling coatings.
June 1, 1999... INTRODUCTION Antifouling paints can be divided into self-polishing types and dissolving-out types. Self-polishing paints result in a smooth surface which help save fuel while sailing. Also, the toxic compounds contained in self-polishing...
