A radiation-cure primer.
March 1, 1997... BRIEF HISTORY To place radiation curing in a proper perspective, it is interesting to look back about 25 years. The coatings industry, as well as many other industries, was quite different than it is today. In 1972, almost all coatings were...

Solubility and toxic effect of the cuprous thiocyanate antifouling pigment on barnacle larvae.
March 1, 1997... INTRODUCTION After corrosion, fouling is the most important problem to take into account in ship hull's protection. Some benthonic organisms are adapted to live in natural hard sea-beds. Due to the scarcity of such beds, they compete for space...

Using "high performance two-component waterborne polyurethane" wood coatings.
March 1, 1997... INTRODUCTION With the development of a water-dispersible polyisocyanate (WDP) technology in conjunction with hydroxy-functional acrylic resin, it is now possible to formulate a wood coating system with ultra low volatile organic compounds...

Relationship to coating mechanical properties.(Mar Resistance of Automotive Clearcoats, part 1)
March 1, 1997... INTRODUCTION The scope of this review is limited to background information, test methods, and the relationships between coating mechanical properties and mar resistance. Definition "Mar resistance" is the ability of a coating to interact...

Application of conducting polymers in corrosion protection.
March 1, 1997... INTRODUCTION Conducting polymers were rediscovered in the late 1970s, giving material scientists the ability to combine the important electronic and optical properties of semiconductors and metals with the mechanical properties and ease of...
