[Pete] had a friend who would powder coat metal parts for him, but when he needed 16 metal parts coated, he decided he needed to develop a way to do it himself. Some research turned up the fluid bed ...

[Breaking Taps] has a look at “parkerization” — a process to coat steel to prevent rust. While you commonly see this finish in firearms, it is usable anywhere you need some protection for steel parts.

In a step towards developing advanced materials for functional coatings, a research group has developed a technology that combines structural color coating with super water-repellent properties. The ...

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 ...

Formulating colors for architectural coatings is a complicated process that includes resins, pigments, and solvents. Special care must be taken to formulate coatings to ensure performance, even in the ...

Cambium, a U.S. aerospace defense company, has introduced ApexShield 3000, a new high-temperature coating designed ...

The eyes of moths have a biological nanostructure that grants them anti-reflective properties. Though researchers have managed to mimic this structure to produce anti-reflective coatings, current ...
