Berger, Asian Paints lead the paints market (Nepal) KATHMANDU: Berger and Asian Paints are the two most popular brands of paints in the domestic market. Nepali customers’ preference lies with Nepali paints perhaps due to their cheaper price. Pashupati Paints — a leading name in the paints industry in Nepal — has recently launched Nepolin Exterior Emulsion Paint, a value-for-money, quality exterior emulsion paint in the market. Pashupati Paints has been in the market for about 26 years now. Weather Coat All Guard, a unique silicon enhanced formula from Berger Nepal, is an expensive paint, meant for protection against weather,” said, Rajesh Agrawal, proprietor of Nepal Paints Pvt Ltd. Agrawal said the new product is applied over paint. The paint repels water and keeps the home looking fresh and new for years.<more> Jotun Powder Coatings announces price increase in Europe, Middle East and Asia Hike driven by global inflation of raw materials prices Jotun Powder Coatings, one of the world’s leading producers and suppliers of powder coatings, has announced that prices of all its powder coating products, which the company distributes to Europe, Middle East and Asia, will increase as a result of the global escalation of raw materials prices. The manufacturer further revealed that the increase will vary for each product depending on their technology base, but will affect all of its product categories – Epoxy based products; Polyester based products; Hybrid based products; and Polyurethane-based products, sold to the decorative and functional market segments. In recent months Jotun Powder Coatings has seen an average raw material price increase of up to 25%. Steep increases have been registered in all main categories of raw materials, including polyester, polyurethane and epoxy resins, and titanium dioxide. In particular, the prices of the epoxy resins have recorded the highest rise. Jotun Powder Coatings, which remains committed to delivering quality products and value to its customers, notes that a price increase is inevitable given the rising cost and shortage of raw materials <more> Asian Paints trains & accredits local painters (Srilanka) Asian Paints Lanka has launched a series of training programmes to upgrade and certify the skills of local painters, in an to promote professionalism among these artisans, the company said. Besides covering the general principles of painting, the training programmes are also designed to train painters to work with Asian Paints Royale Play products, the company's unique special effects paint that enables users to create designs on interior walls, it said in a statement. <more> Kansai Nerolac to invest Rs 400 crore to expand capacity MUMBAI: Kansai Nerolac Paints (KNPL) plans to invest Rs 400 crore over the next two years to augment the production capacity of its Hosur plant by 20 per cent, a top company official said today. The current capacity of the plant is around 15,000 tonnes. "As part of the second phase of the project, we want to increase its capacity by 20 per cent in the next two years. For this, we plan to spend Rs 400 crore," Kansai Nerolac Paints Chairman J J Irani said at the annual general meeting of the company today. <more> Berger Paints to build fully automated plant According to Berger Paints India Ltd Managing Director Mr Subir Bose, the company is to start construction of its fully automated water-based paint factory at Hindupur, near Bangalore, by the end of the current year, targeting production by the middle of 2012. The 1,50,000-tonne facility, to be spread over 60 acres, will cost Rs 130 crore, he said. The funding would be entirely from within, out of the amount (Rs 135 crore) accumulated last year by way of issuing warrants to its promoters, he said, adding that there were no immediate plans to raise money from the market.<more> Paints may cost more from next month KOLKATA: If you’re planning to give your room a fresh coat of paint, do so within the next fortnight. Or else, prepare to shell out more. Come July, and paint companies may jack up prices to maintain margins. With the price of titanium dioxide, a major raw material for paints, shooting up, paint companies are being forced to take a relook at their existing price format. Some like Berger Paints and Shalimar Paints have already decided to hike prices from next month. The price hike could be anything between 2% and 4%. Asian titanium dioxide (TiO2) prices has increased from $2,410-2,550 per tonne in mid-February to $2,535-2,600 per tonne in mid-May on the back of tightening supplies in the region. According to producers, global TiO2 production has been lagging behind the rebound in demand for the material in recent months, creating supply tightness in Asia that could last well into next year. <more> Kansai Paint Co. Overseas development is a key element in Kansai Paint’s 13th medium term Business plan. The three year plan (2010-2012) targets consolidated sales of 265 bn yen in fiscal 2012, up from 222.4 bn yen in fiscal 2009; operating profit of 25 bn yen, up from 20.5 bn yen; and ordinary profit of 28 bn yen, up from 22,6 bn yen. The company plans to expand in its existing sales territories like China and India and increase its profits there, while venturing into as yet untapped region like the Middle East and Africa, which are expected to be growth markets in the future. It also intends to rationalise its operations and lower its costs in each market to strengthen its competitiveness and add high-margin products to its portfolios to heighten its earning capability. As a result, it expects the Asian region, excluding Japan, to account for 39% of its overall sales in fiscal 2012, up from 31% in fiscal 2009, and 53% of its overall operating profit, up from 43% with the domestic market making up 56% of overall sales, down from 65% and 43% of overall profit, down from 53%. The major facility investments to be carried out during the plan are 6bn yen in India to boost the monthly output capacity for automotive paints by 4,500 tons and another 6bn yen to raise that for automotive paints by 2,000 tons; 1 bn yen in China to nudge up monthly output capacity for automotive paints by 400 tons and 1 bn yen in Thailand to hike the monthly output capacity for resins by 500 tons. (Source: Japan Chemical Web, 28 May 2010) Paint your house green to cool global warming Flower & Cake DeliveryDouble Bed Razai.80 ton ACChennai: Leading paint manufacturers in the country are going green by offering houses the much-needed comfort of coolness. As part of devising strategies to combat global warming, the companies have come out with a host of 'green' stuff that cool the interiors of houses built in hot tropical geography. The companies vouch that these products not only reduces room temperature , but also has something to do with social cause. And for paint companies, the transformation from weather guard to heat guard products was a calculated move. “There has always been a demand for such products which are not only functionally superior but also help in conserving the environment,” Ramakanth Akula, president, Nippon Paint told FE. The company has just introduced its Weatherbond Solareflect, the first of its kind offering consumers the promise of cooler interiors. The new product has opened the entry of Nippon Paint into the premium exterior emulsion category. The company, which claims that its sunblock technology with reduction of surface temperature by up to 5 degree celsious is something different from competitors. <more> A fresh coat for dulux Paints giant AkzoNobel hopes to strengthen its Dulux brand in India through innovations and by expanding reach and capacity. A new paint variant which brings down the temperature by 5 degrees is a case in point A couple is busy trying out various contraptions to cool their house down, while a neighbour looks on. When asked what he does to keep his house cool, he mentions that his paint does it all. It makes the couple look silly, sweating it out with myriad ways when just painting the exterior of their house would have done. AkzoNobel India, the advertiser, claims that the latest variant of its Dulux WeatherShield, called SunProtect, brings down the temperature of walls by 5 degrees by reflecting the infra-red rays of the sun. This, of course, does not mean that you could do away with your air-conditioners or coolers since there are other factors which go on to determine the temperature of the rooms. But this is a new USP that AkzoNobel wants to create for its brand. The timing, of course, is perfect. The summer is at its peak; large parts of the country have reported all-time high temperatures. The more the temperature outside, the more marked the temperature control of the walls painted with Dulux WeatherShield SunProtect. But what will happen in winter? Will it bring down the mercury by 5 degrees when the nights are cold? The company says this property won’t be at work during winter, though the paint will retain other qualities such as waterproofing.<more>

 "Ask Joe Powder" "Ask Joe Powder" is a question and answer column authored by Kevin Biller of the Powder Coating Research Group. Mr. Biller has over 30 years experience formulating and manufacturing powder coatings. He welcomes your questions regarding powder coating technology. Please write to: askjoepowder@yahoo.com Kevin Biller The Powder Coating Research Group 4419 Brookpark Road Cleveland, OH 44134 614-354-1198 www.powdercoatingresearch.com Hi Joe, I've being wondering for a long time and asking people w/o getting any answer. If there is any kind of High Temp Vinyl or decal like material that could be used with a vinyl cutter to make masking design and also hold the up to 400 deg curing cycle? Best wishes, Yabriel Avilés Hi Yabriel, I think I know what you’re looking for and to answer your question – yes masking decals exist. As a matter of fact they are quite common and readily available. However vinyl is not used because it will distort and degrade at typical powder bake conditions. Shercon (www.shercon.com) makes a variety of masking products including plugs, caps and adhesive films. Echo Supply and EPSI also supply these products. They can be easily cut to provide a high quality mask that will survive typical powder coating baking conditions. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Best Regards, Joe Hey Joe, We currently purchase a Prepainted white panel (liquid application) over galvanized steel and a galvanized posts that has a paint coat also. The paint coat on the post is a powder coat application of polyester and the liquid coat on the panels is a polyester. The problem is the surface energy on the posts seems to be significantly lower as we have decals that are lifting off the posts and not on the panels. Would this be considered an effect of the powder coat finish? Is there any way to correct this? Whatever advice you can throw my way would be most appreciated, Thank you, Donald Hindman Engineering Senior Manager R&D Hyundai Translead Dear Donald, This is not an uncommon phenomenon. Some powder coatings have low surface energy while others have higher surface energy. The basic issue has to do with the additives contained in the formula. Some formulators like to incorporate waxes and even Teflon to increase scratch resistance. This unwitting formulating technique makes it nearly impossible for anything to adhere to the powder. You have a couple avenues to consider in remediating this problem. Sometimes you can perform a rigorous surface cleaning using a solvent (acetone, lacquer thinner) which will make the powder coating surface more amenable to decal adhesion. You can also consider mechanical means of "cleaning" the surface such as light sanding. The best avenue is to get a different powder coating - one that has been formulated to provide good topcoat and decal adhesion. Your powder supplier should be able to test their product with your decals to verify this property. Alternately I can make you a product and have it produced by one of my affiliates. Let me know if this helps. Best Regards, Joe Hello Joe, Do you have experience on low bake PU using uretidione as hardener? What is really limitation? Thanks so much for your shared idea Regards, Supunnee Hello Supunnee, I have had a lot of experience with uretdione chemistry. One of the biggest challenges has been getting adequate flow and leveling. In addition it has been difficult to develop low temperature cure. Evonik (Degussa) has made an attempt at overcoming these formulation obstacles with their Vestagon 9030 crosslinker and 8020 catalyst. Both materials appear to be experimental at this point in time. I would most certainly evaluate both materials for low temperature cure. I would look at 2 to 3 different hydroxyl polyesters of varying OH number to determine the effect on cure. I would also run a concentration ladder of the 8020 to determine its effect on gel time and cure response. Best Regards, Joe Powder Hello Joe, I am looking for some insight on some samples that we cured for a potential customer. We are trying to cure a clear coat epoxy. One process was curing with IR using quartz tubes at 70% power for 4 minutes. The second process was curing with IR for two minutes and then 10 minutes in a convection oven at 375 degrees F. The third process was curing fully in the convection oven for 18 minutes at 375 degrees F. Here's the deal, all the IR cured samples cracked and the convection samples did not crack at all. We are thinking that we just cured too fast with the IR and "burned" the powder. We would greatly appreciate your thoughts and input. Thanks Joe, Mike Mike Blumberg INFRATROL Manufacturing Corp. Hi Mike, I'm traveling but will try to respond using this microscopic keyboard on my phone. Using IR for a clearcoat is tricky business. IR works best and most completely when the coating has pigment. With a clears here's what happens. The dry powder absorbs heat from the IR until it melts. It then becomes transparent and essentially stops absorbing much more heat. I think the IR cured sample is partially cured and hence the cracking. A good way to check is testing solvent resistance. Rub each sample with acetone, MEK or lacquer thinner. This will give you an idea of degree of cure. Let me know what you find. Kind Regards, Joe (Follow-up response) Hello Joe, Thanks for the reply. Really, it sounds like IR is not the best solution for curing clear coat. Do you agree with this? Thanks again for the miniature typing effort! Regards, Mike Mike, Yes, IR is not the best solution for curing clear coats. Once the clear powder has melted the heat up rate slows significantly. The IR energy passes through the clear, reflects on the substrate and little IR is absorbed in the coating. If the substrate was a dark color it would absorb more IR and affect further energy absorption and hence cure. However clear coats are typically applied to bright metallic surfaces which reflect IR energy.

AkzoNobel
has completed its acquisition of the Dow Chemical Company's powder
coatings activities. The deal was first announced in November last year.
Three
years ago, Hans Wijers transformed Dutch firm Akzo Nobel from a mid-size
drugmaker to the world’s largest paints company by acquiring UK’s ICI. The
former civil servant, who dabbled as a business consultant before becoming
the Dutch minister for economic affairs only to return to the corporate
world and eventually became the CEO of Akzo Nobel, loves to ask questions.
In an exclusive interview with ET , he says asking helps him build a logic
as he prefers to ask how one is doing and what he is doing, rather than
telling people what to do. But the task is cut out for the India team at
Akzo Nobel with the top boss looking at more than fourfold jump in
revenues to e1 billion by 2015. Excerpts:

Magazines
are getting more accommodating of advertisers that want their ads to run
right through the editorial, space that’s traditionally been off-limits to
promotional messages. 
Paint
manufacturer PPG Architectural Coatings UK Limited has filed its defence
in the court action brought against it by ICI regarding Johnstone's® "Best
by Test" advertising campaign.
