In searching for better flame retardants for home furnishings -- the largest source of fuel in house fires -- researchers defied the conventional wisdom and literally hit a wall, one made of clay.

While policy debates over fire- safety standards and flame retardants rage on, researchers at the National Institute of Standards & Technology are developing new types of fire-blocking technology. One ...

Powder coating is now preferred over liquid coating and has also been extensively employed in numerous industries due to its negligible VOC (volatile organic compound) emission, high solid content, ...

Powder coating is a finish you’ll find quite often, as it’s no stranger to components exposed to the harshest environments. Hitches, suspension pieces, wheels, and even engine parts are all familiar ...

For parts with lower temperature thresholds, such as composites, an ultraviolet (UV) curable powder coating can be an ideal solution. Source (All Images) | Keyland Polymer From aerospace and ...

The authors experiment with a resonant acoustic mixer as a method for dry powder coating. Efficient handling and transport of fine-particle powders can be difficult because of the highly cohesive ...

The ingredients for powder coating are basically epoxy resin and polyester resin. These function as a matrix and binding agents for solid particles, and they also harden the finish. Special effects, ...
