More than a year after DuPont announced that it would reimburse homeowners for damage caused by its herbicide Imprelis, Janet DaPrato is still waiting. She and others have now spent two summers gazing at brown skeletons where healthy trees once stood. “We have not heard anything yet,” said DaPrato, who said Imprelis damaged six trees at her Northwest Side home. “I really don’t care as much about the money. I just want to change my trees out.” Homeowners and landscapers worry that time may be running out. If they don’t receive payment soon, they will miss the fall planting season. “Our clients are getting fed up,” said Mark Wehinger, a partner in Environmental Management Inc., a Dublin landscaper. “Why is this taking so long?”<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 or post your question through the your facebook id http://letsfinishit.com/askjoe.htm Dear Mr. Joe: What is super durable powder coating? Mehdi Barabadi– Iran Dear Mehdi: “Superdurable” refers to a specific type of polyester resin (it can be carboxyl or hydroxyl functional) that has superior UV durability compared to standard polyester resins. These superdurable resins contain a high level of isophthalic acid as opposed to terephthalic acid. The high content of IPA provides up to 5 years durability in south Florida. Some clearcoats based on this technology have surpassed 8 years in south Florida. A few powder coating manufacturers have adopted the description "superdurable" to their powder product lines. A universal definition has not been established, but it is very important to understand that the ultimate durability of the powder coating not only involves the resin but also all the other components in the formula: pigments, fillers, additives, etc. A powder based on a superdurable resin will still fail in less than 5 years exposure in Florida if a non-durable pigment or additive is present in the formula. It is most important to specify which durability standards are met by a particular powder coating rather than assume a description like "superdurable" means the product meets a specification. |
