Industries face surprise environment inspections
ABU DHABI — Jotun, the paint factory in Abu Dhabi’s Musaffah industrial area, was taken by surprise when four inspectors from the Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi (EAD) turned up at its gates, followed by a bus full of journalists.
“We are here to conduct an environmental inspection,” announced Abeer Sajwani, one of the EAD inspectors.

In 2012, EAD issued 1,427 environmental permits, as well as 259 permits for chemical traders. In addition, the agency conducted 676 inspections of the permitted facilities and 133 inspections for ground water wells.

There are about 1,400 facilities such as factories and estate developments in the Abu Dhabi emirate and EAD’s 20 inspectors conduct regular visits to make sure they all environmentally safe.<more>

Is Titanium Dioxide in Food Harmful?
The latest review on diet and the risk of inflammatory bowel diseases (such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease) suggests that of all dietary factors, animal protein from meat and fish is most associated with a higher risk of inflammatory bowel disease.


One potential risk factor that I had never heard of, though, was micro- or nanoparticles. Foodstuffs in developed countries contain increasing quantities of microparticles such as titanium dioxide. Titanium dioxide is used by the millions of tons as a whitening/brightening pigment to make white-colored paint, but also as an additive to make white-colored food. It’s added to food so much so that people eating conventional diets may be ingesting a trillion particles of titanium dioxide every day.

Jotun Powder Coatings reveals global launch of ‘Guard Endure’

Latest range offers long term protection and superior resistance to scratches, rubbing and marring Jotun Powder Coatings, one of the world’s leading producers and distributors of powder  coatings, has announced the global launch of ‘Guard Endure,’ a high-quality range of powder coatings offering superior resistance to scratches, rubbing and marring as compared  to other standard powder coatings in the market today. Available in a wide range of  colours, ‘Guard Endure’ provides consistently better and longer protection across a wide  range of applications, particularly for the furniture and fixture segments

“The global launch of this new product is focused on addressing the demands of the furniture and fixtures markets for a high quality powder coating that can offer both superior protection and durability,” said Vivek Pande, Sales Director, Jotun Powder Coatings India. “The unique capabilities of ‘Guard Endure’ will give manufacturers and users the confidence of enjoying their furniture and other coated objects for a longer time.”

Today’s furniture in homes, schools and public areas are openly exposed to a lot of wear and tear, like bumps, scratches, scuffs and abrasions. Despite this, consumers still expect their furniture and fixtures to last longer. The level of expectation is even higher for furniture manufacturers, who expect their products to endure tough conditions from assembly to delivery. Looking to address these demands, Jotun Powder Coatings has developed ‘Guard Endure,’ which provides tough scratch and mar resistance — ensuring that the furniture, fixtures, shelving and other coated objects are not only protected but also maintains its original appearance, regardless of its colour.

We tested Guard Endure for one of our major clients that require a powder coating with enhanced scratch resistance. Following a series of trials against other powder coatings, Guard Endure was the only product that could consistently meet the tough scratch & mar resistance specifications that our demanding client had in mind. With its easy application properties, very good adhesion and the fact that it comes in a full range of colours, we will definitely use this product for our current and future needs.”

Sunil Edlabadkar - Vice President, Savera Auto Comps Pvt. Ltd. (Aurangabad)

‘Guard Endure’ does not require any investment in special equipment by manufacturers and applicators. The new product is highly recommended for home and office furniture, lighting, racks and shop fittings, among others. Another unique capability of ‘Guard Endure’ is its flexible curing temperature, which translates to improved productivity and energy savings. Higher productivity is achieved by curing the product only for a few minutes, whilst energy  savings are attained by the option of curing the product at a low temperature, such as 160°C or even 150°C.

Asian Paints to acquire Sleek Group; foray into kitchen space
Asian Paints to acquire Sleek Group; foray into kitchen space
It's always been more about homes than paint so for Asian Paints, moving into providing kitchen solutions is a logical step up the value chain. It has acquired a 51% stake in Sleek Group, a leading organised player in the modern kitchen space. It's the first such step for the decorative paints company following its decision taken in July 2012 to explore opportunities in areas of home improvement and decor.

"It may be an un-related business for a paints company, in terms of distribution and manufacturing, but we find it to be a brilliant strategy for Asian Paints as it will now be able to sell a new home-buyer paint, water proofing and a modular kitchen," says Abneesh Roy, associate director, Edelweiss Capital.

"To take our brand to the next level in a fairly nascent and unorganised market, we needed a strategic partner to develop our back-end and dealer network", says Rajesh Ahuja, managing director of Sleek International. "We found such partner in Asian Paints, the Indian multinational with a 30,000-dealer network", he adds.<more>

Rapid Coat expands capacity
Rapid Engineering Co. Pvt. Ltd. has just added a new line capable of manufacturing around 800 kg/hr. to  the  existing capacity of around 1,400 kg/hr

Ajit Gupta said, "Ofcourse this is the theoretical capacity. In practice the output is governed by lot size, formulation, clean-up & colour change time, breakdowns, maintenance, ambient temperature and worker absenteeism etc.
At present we are operating at around 400 tons/month and hope to achieve 600 tons/month in the coming months.
The main difference now is the new building, we are gradually moving into, which has been designed for this production and the massive up-gradation of the infrastructure. In addition we have some taken on some very experienced and capable people to ensure quality.
We also manufacture Plastic Powder Coatings which are primarily used for wire fabricated products like fences, refrigerator shelves and baskets etc".

Hit by Re fall, Q4 margins to mirror Q3: Kansai Nerolac
After Kansai Nerolac Paints entered in talks with auto companies to raise the paint prices the stock has been rallying substantially. HM Bharuka, MD of the company told CNBC-TV18 that the fall in titanium dioxide prices will benefit decorative paints segment.

After Kansai Nerolac Paints entered in talks with auto companies to raise the paint prices, the stock has been rallying substantially. HM Bharuka, MD of the company told CNBC-TV18 that the fall in titanium dioxide (Tio2) prices will benefit decorative paints segment (for household and office premises).

When talking about the expectations from Q4 in terms of the combined operating margins, Bharuka says, the company should be able to maintain whatever it has achieved in Q3 and does not think there would be any improvement. Bharuka also mentions that while Tio2 prices have gone down from USD 4200 to USD 2800, rupee depreciation has also affected the profitability of the comapny.

Below is the verbatim transcript of HM Bharuka's interview on CNBC-TV18

Q: What is going so right for all the paint companies ? Are you seeing a sudden, sharp fall in titanium dioxide prices?

A: May be it is not going right for the others but it is going right for the industry. It is more negative for others than positive for the paint industry as of now.

Q: What is the trend in the titanium dioxide prices itself, how have they moved, what is the price this quarter compared to last quarter, has there been a fall in the last few days?

A: Too much has been read into the fall in titanium dioxide (Tio2) prices. We need to look at Tio2 prices, from USD 1700-1800 it has gone up to USD 4200 and from there it has come down to USD 2600-2800. That is temporary, infact the prices have started rising again. So, whatever slowdown we are seeing globally and the inventory got created and the result of that Tio2 prices have gone down. However, off late it has risen again. So I don't think we need to read too much into the fall in Tio2 prices as of now.<more>

Woodlands Secondary students win award for paint made from egg shells
Woodlands Secondary students
have found a way to recycle egg shells and clam shells to create environmentally-friendly paint.

While paint is normally made from calcium carbonate extracted through mining and quarrying, the group of four students has found an alternative method to extract the compound for paint.

The students, who are now in Secondary Two, partnered Nippon Paint, and they crushed and filtered the shells to extract the calcium carbonate. Their paint passed the standard tests and is comparable to normal quality paint.

For their efforts, the group received the top award in the secondary school category of the Green Wave Environmental Care Competition organised by SembCorp Marine's subsidiary, Sembawang Shipyard.<more>

Dear Joe;

What is the most reliable way to measure transfer efficiency for powder coat? To spray same known amount powder to the plate is a way but not reliable because of the variables such as distance, voltage…What is your suggestion?

Best regards
Ozlem EKINCI

Dear Ozlem,

Sorry for the delay in my response - we have been quite busy in the lab lately.

There are a few techniques to measure transfer efficiency. The simplest is to set up a fixed gun in your laboratory spray booth and evenly feed powder to the gun. Hang a test panel at a fixed distance from the gun and apply the powder under constant conditions. Specifically:

1. Clamp your spray gun with a ring stand. Set it up inside the spray booth.
2. Tape the trigger to the "on" position. Do this with the gun control turned off.
3. Hang a test panel 20 cm from the discharge of the gun. A 150mm x 300mm test panel is a
good size.
4. Set your air velocity and voltage/current. Use standard conditions.
5. Set up a consistent powder feed. This can be with a fluidized hopper or a vibratory feeder.
We use a vibratory feeder for best precision.
6. Weigh test panel to 0.1 grams precision.
7. Load feed system (hopper or vibratory feeder) with a prescribed amount of powder.
8. Turn on feed.
9. Turn on spray gun at the control unit.
10. Feed powder for 5 seconds.
11. Weigh test panel.
12. Bake test panel and measure film thickness.
The weight of the powder is the most important value to record, however the film thickness
offers corroborative data.

Another technique is described in detail in the Powder Coating Institute's Technical Brief #10. You can purchase a copy from their website www.powdercoating.org  under the "Store &
Resources" tab. Click on "Materials & Publications".

Kind regards,
Joe Powder
