Titanium dioxide plant a threat to water sources, says expert
Environmental experts fear a threat to drinking water sources in Vijayawada and several villages in Krishna and Guntur, West Godavari and Prakasam districts due to the proposed Rs. 700-crore titanium dioxide plant on the banks of Krishna in Gudimetla village in Chandarlapadu Mandal upstream Prakasam Barrage.

A public hearing in this regard is scheduled for August 6 for the environmental clearance for the plant. Former Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT) scientist and environmentalist K. Babu Rao said titanium dioxide industry produced a large amount of liquid effluents that would eventually get deposited in Krishna, affecting the drinking water sources of millions of people.

Mr. Rao, quoting an article from ‘Frontline’ magazine on a similar plant in Kerala, said the matter had gone right up to the Supreme Court, but there was no change in the situation there. According to the article, the factory “dumped free sulphuric acid directly into the Arabian Sea”.

He said the EIA (Enivronment Impact Assessment) of the Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board (APPCB) report simply said that “eco-friendly technology” would be used, but details were not available. While titanium dioxide was itself a suspected human carcinogen (Group 2B), according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the EIA had “hidden lot of information on air and water pollution” caused by such plants.<more>

Gas Leak from KMML Plant;40 Students Hospitalised

AkzoNobel launches new Interpon Align powder coatings technology
AkzoNobel’s Powder Coatings business has launched an innovative two-coat, one-bake powder coating system which offers customers significant productivity and energy efficiency improvements and can also result in lower capital investment.

Utilizing dry-on-dry coatings technology, Interpon Align delivers superior edge coverage and corrosion performance, while eliminating one full cure cycle. The result is a shortened coating cycle leading to improved productivity and, in some cases, reduced capital investment.

“As the global market leader in powder coatings we are constantly looking to innovate and focus more sharply on the needs of our customers,” said John Wolff, Managing Director AkzoNobel Powder
Coatings. “Interpon Align is a perfect example of our sustainable innovation, having already been proven to consistently increase efficiency and output by up to 30 percent during commercial use.”
Added Global Implementation Manager, Dan Hrkalovich: “Traditional two-coat powder coating solutions require a cure after the primer and another cure after the top coat. Interpon Align has been designed to eliminate the primer curing process, as the two coating layers are cured simultaneously. This results in significantly improved productivity, as well as energy and cost savings.”

The new technology can be tailored to meet exact color and performance requirements, resulting in a wide range of end-use products, including thick and heavy mass metal parts that meet the most demanding OEM specifications for protection and appearance.

AkzoNobel is the largest global manufacturer of powder coatings and a world leader in powder coatings technology, operating 31 manufacturing sites. Powder coatings are used on everything from window frames, to pipes and cars, metal furniture, radiators and even wood and plastic. They contain no solvents and have application efficiency levels as high as 99 percent.<more>

To build on this association, we hope to reach out to the more discerning consumers through this new television advertisement."<more>

Berger Paints to Commission Two Plants by September

Berger Paints would commission two plants by September this year which would augment its production capacity in the country, an official of the company said.

"The plant at Hindupur near Bangalore will go on stream this August, while the one at Jejuri near Pune will be commissioned this September", MD and CEO of Berger Paints Abhijit Roy told shareholders at the company's AGM here today.

The company had invested Rs. 140 crore at Hindupur and Rs. 40 crore at the Jejuri plant.

Roy said the company was enjoying the second position in the paints business in the country with a market share of 19 per cent.

He said the company was looking at various geographies across the country either to buy out units or set-up greenfield plants, particularly in south east Asian countries.

Chairman of the company K S Dhingra told reporters that the firm is looking at both organic and inorganic growth for expansion.

The company is looking at a revenue growth of 15-20 per cent in the current fiscal.

He said the buy-out of Sherwin Williams decorative paints business in Mumbai was a good fit in the company's portfolio.

Dhingra said the loss-making unit would be turned around and is expected to fetch a revenue of Rs. 100 crore in the current fiscal.

To a query, Dhingra said, "Acquisition of the Howrah plant of Shalimar is not on our radar."<more>

Brighter days ahead for paint companies
Asian Paints, Berger Paints, Kansai Nerolac set to gain from industrial pick-up, softening crude oil prices

The stocks of Asian Paints, Berger Paints and Kansai Nerolac have outperformed the S&P BSE Sensex since July. While the first two made new highs in August, Kansai Nerolac touched its all-time high last month. While continued strength in demand for decorative paints and recovery in industrial paints are among the reasons for this rally, the recent softening in crude oil prices, which impacts prices of titanium oxide — a key raw material — should also benefit the companies.

In the June quarter, all three companies witnessed improved volume growth in the industrial paints segment. As demand for industrial paints picks up along with economic recovery, Kansai Nerolac stands to gain more, given that it gets 45 per cent of revenues from this segment, compared with 20 per cent each of Berger Paints and Asian Paints. Kansai Nerolac is the leader in Indian industrial paints segment and the third largest in overall paints market.<more>

Powder Coating: Making Its Way Into the Paint Industry
A lot of people are used to the liquid paints which have been around the market since time immemorial. Though a lot of these undergone innovations to make it environment friendly, still the majorities of liquid paints contains harmful solvents and emit volatile compounds which may bring adverse effects to the human body. This gives the powder coating paints the opportunity to shine in the paint industry.

Sacramento, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/04/2014 -- Through a powder coating equipment, paints in powder form are sprayed to a metal surface which is heated in an oven afterwards for the hue to stay intact. The use of these paints lessens the use of mineral spirits and hydrocarbon thinners used in conventional paints. The aromatic hydrocarbon thinners are toxic in nature and can cause both short term and long term hazard to the environment and a lot of health risks as well.<more>

part of the Materials Coating ExperimentSuper-Black Nano-Coating to Be Tested for the First Time in Space
An emerging super-black nanotechnology that promises to make spacecraft instruments more sensitive without enlarging their size will be tested for the first time on the International Space Station within a year.
The nano-based material is a thin, highly uniform coating of multi-walled nanotubes made of pure carbon about 10,000 times thinner than a strand of human hair. "Though tested extensively in ground-based laboratories, the material has never flown in space," said NASA Principal Investigator John Hagopian, an optics engineer at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, who has pioneered the technology’s development. “The objective is to determine how well this coating survives the harsh space environment.”
The carbon-nanotube coating, whose development is six years in the making, is considered especially promising as a technology to reduce stray light, which can overwhelm faint signals that sensitive detectors are supposed to retrieve.

he carbon-nanotube coating, whose development is six years in the making, is considered especially promising as a technology to reduce stray light, which can overwhelm faint signals that sensitive detectors are supposed to retrieve.
Ground-based laboratory testing has proven that the coating absorbs 99.5 percent of the light in the ultraviolet and visible and 99.8 percent in the longer or far-infrared bands. Currently, instrument developers apply black paint on baffles and other instrument components to reduce errant light. However, these techniques absorb only 90 to 96 percent of the light — far underperforming the carbon-nanotube coating, Hagopian said.
The coating’s super-absorbency is due to the fact that the nanotubes are mostly empty space; however, the carbon atoms that occupy this fine forest of tiny nested tubes absorb the light and prevent it from reflecting off surfaces. Because only a tiny fraction of light reflects off the coating, the human eye and sensitive detectors see the material as black — in this case, extremely black.<more>

Dear Joe,
I’m working on a marketing research project and have a question regarding powder coatings used on MDF (medium density fiberboard). Do they always have to be UV-cured?
Regards,
Pamela Safarek 
Senior Industry Analyst at The Freedonia Group

Dear Pamela, 
No they do not. There are essentially two options: UV Curable and low temperature thermosetting powder coatings. The UV curables require an additional process step but cure in a shorter process footprint. They also provide better coating durability (mainly hardness and chemical resistance). UV cure requires line-of-sight curing that also is critical to the distance of the lamps to the coating surface. In addition film thickness must be carefully controlled. If the coating is too thick (or too opaque) it will not cure completely. And as you can guess the material cost is higher than more conventional products.

Thermosetting powders can be used as well. They require longer curing times (typically 20 to 30 minutes), although infrared heat can mitigate some of this. They are highly catalyzed and therefore must be stored in a controlled environment and can advance chemically which affects coating smoothness. The thermosets are generally less smooth than the UV curable types and typically less durable. 

As for specifics regarding cure requirements this mainly depends upon the chemistry. Polyester TGIC systems work with cure cycles of about 25 minutes at 265⁰F. Acrylics can cure as low as 25 minutes at 275⁰F. Epoxies have been formulated to cure at 25 minutes at 230⁰F. Epoxy-polyesters (hybrids) can be processed at 25 minutes at 250⁰F. Polyurethanes and Polyester-HAA require cure temperatures over 300⁰F. More conventional powders cure with less dwell time at much higher temperatures and therefore cannot be used for MDF. 

UV curable powder technology requires a melt stage, typically around 60 to 90 seconds at a peak temperature of 200 to 240⁰F. The additional UV cure process usually takes only a few seconds depending upon the complexity of the part.

Lots of film performance and process issues are very specific to the formulation so you need to be careful with generalizations. A number of powder manufacturers make and sell both types of chemistries as one shoe doesn't fit all. 

Dear Mr. Powder,
We are manufacturer of polyester resins for powder coatings. Our customers are having difficulty in achieving consistent high gloss and impact resistant in their powder coatings. Can you help us determine the root cause of this problem.
Kind regards,
Vijay Rakholiya 
Research and Development Manager at Spark e Lina Polymers Pvt Ltd 


Dear Vijay,
I understand that you are a polyester resin manufacturer and supplier and that your customer (a powder coating formulator/producer) is getting low gloss and/or poor impact. One basic question - how is the solvent resistance of these coatings? Chemical resistance is a good indication of cure and it will be poor if the stoichiometry of the binder is incorrect. Poor cure as evidenced by poor solvent resistance will produce poor impact resistance. If the stoichiometry is theoretically correct and the impact resistance remains poor then I would investigate the molecular weight distribution of the polyester resin. If it is too broad then there are too many polymeric species which can account for poor cure due to variable functionality. Broad molecular weight distribution can also account for poor gloss. 

Best regards,
Joe

CED
Cathodic Electro Deposited coating is used extensively in the automotive industry. In this process, the component after phosphate pre treatment is dipped in the bath of Ecoat chemicals and given an electric charge. The coating gets deposited on the component. The component is removed from the bath, washed and then baked
