Nagpal decided that from a company that mostly makes protective paints, mainly used in premiering walls or in factories and machineries, it needed to get into the consumer segment like its rivals Nerolac and Asian Paints. The reason was simple: the enterprise business was not growing while the consumer business was booming, and Shalimar Paints was left as a struggling company in this changing consumer landscape. "We did not focus on the consumer earlier, but now we want to be a consumer brand," says Nagpal. Asian Paints which is one-third the age of Shalimar Paints is 16 times bigger. Shalimar Paints posted a revenue of Rs. 552 crore in 2012/13.<more> Danieli India signs a contract with United Iron & Steel United Metal Coating have a continuous Coil Coating Line in Dubai Industrial City and it manufactures pre-painted aluminum and galvanized steel coils in various thicknesses and widths with an annual production capacity of 75,000 tonne for the end application of building products including roofing and claddings, as well as interior false ceilings and rolling shutters.

The goal is to meet market demands generated by new car makers setting up their plants in the country and by the trend of using waterborne technology rather than solvent-borne. BASF is the pioneer in developing waterborne basecoats for the automotive industry. The technology is eco-efficient because water replaces most of the organic solvents. In addition to the traditional clients such as GM, Volkswagen, Fiat and PSA, and a strong presence in the segment of coatings for trucks, BASF has in the past years conquered new supply contracts which include car makers such as Hyundai and Chery. Another trend in the market is the use of integrated processes where the paintline is shortened by one step. This means that less material, time and energy are used. At the same time, the same application quality can be achieved.<more> Test Method for Bolted Connections Coatings Being Developed by ASTM International Paint Committee An ASTM subcommittee is developing a proposed standard to test the slip coefficient properties of coatings used in slip-critical bolted connections. The test is based on an appendix in the “Specification for Structural Joints Using High-Strength Bolts,” published by the Research Council on Structural Connections. The proposed ASTM standard will expand on the Research Council standard by describing the preparation of test specimens in detail and by conducting an interlaboratory study that will allow for the inclusion of precision and bias statement. ASTM WK45390, Test Method for Slip Coefficient and Tension Creep Testing of Coatings Used in Slip Critical Bolted Connections, is being developed by Subcommittee D01.46 on Industrial Protective Coatings, part of ASTM International Committee D01 on Paint and Related Coatings, Materials and Applications. The Research Council on Structural Connections is a non-profit, volunteer organization comprised of experts in the fields of structural steel connection design, fabrication, erection and bolting. Research projects funded by the RCSC serve to provide safety, reliability and standard practice for the steel construction industry.<more> Coatings protect from mineral oil residues in recycled fibres Recycled fibres in paper packaging can contain mineral oil residues but coatings can protect foods from these substances, according to BASF.<more>  NANOMYTE®
SuperCN Plus – A New Generation of Durable Superhydrophobic
Coatings Somerset, New Jersey – NEI Corporation announced today that it has introduced NANOMYTE® SuperCN Plus – a functionally graded coating that imparts superhydrophobic properties to the underlying substrate while providing greater abrasion resistance compared to existing superhydrophobic coatings. Surfaces treated with SuperCN Plus force liquids to bead up and roll off, shedding water instantly and leaving the surface completely dry. SuperCN Plus can be applied to a variety of substrate materials, including plastics, metals, glass, painted surfaces, and fabrics. NANOMYTE® SuperCN Plus consists of a hard and abrasion resistant outer layer that transitions to a softer material closer to the substrate. Such a functionally graded coating represents a major advancement in the state of the art and is in sharp contrast to monolithic superhydrophobic coatings that consist of a relatively soft material that is easily abraded or rubbed away. Superhydrophobic coatings rely on creating and maintaining a composite of micro and nano-sized surface structures that work together to trap a layer of air that can repel most liquids. Off-the-shelf superhydrophobic coatings tend to have poor durability because they are unable to protect these delicate surface structures from abrasion, resulting in rapid loss of superhydrophobicity. Due to the graded structure, SuperCN Plus maintains its superhydrophobicity and high contact angle even after moderate damage. Additionally, it exhibits good adhesion to the substrate. Surfaces treated with SuperCN Plus show water contact angles as high as 165°. After moderate abrasion, where traditional superhydrophobic coatings begin to show significant damage and delamination, SuperCN Plus remains intact and has been shown to preserve its superhydrophobicity with contact angles over 158° Valspar High Performance Architectural Coatings Announces New Website Valspar High Performance Architectural Coatings is pleased to announce the launch of its new website – valsparcoileurope.com.

Cherry Street, 3rd Floor Columbus, OH 43215 614-354-1198 www.powdercoatingresearch.com Quality Control of Powder Coatings The purpose of a quality control is two-fold. First of all, it provides a check on performance, ensuring that the product shipped to your customer meets their requirements and secondly, it is a means to ensure that you are producing a consistent powder, batch to batch. In powder coating manufacture raw materials are dedicated and subsequently processed to meet a customer’s requirement. Unlike paint manufacture where the batch is processed and eventually adjusted near the end to meet quality requirements (i.e. shade, viscosity, etc.), powder coatings are very difficult to adjust toward the end of manufacture. The utmost in care must be taken to make sure the batch is correct right from the start. Consequently quality control really should emphasize raw material and process control rather than assessing properties after the batch is made. Read the complete article here |
