Why Standards and Specifications?
Standards and specifications are typically combined to establish procedures, properties, and quantifiable quality measurements relevant to
the substrate materials, finishing processes and end-use requirements. Standards in the coating industry exist in the form of compositional
or performance types for coatings and as procedural standards for application and are based on a variety of relevant testing data.
“Care and Maintenance of Powder Coated Finishes”
What can we do to prolong the life of the finish in the field?
Powder Coating Provides Decorative and Protective Value to Metal Products. It is no surprise that organic finishing (powder coating) of
metal products that are exposed to the weathering conditions such as sun, rain, wind, pollution, freezing cold, salt water and a host of
other conditions will degrade over time....In fact it would be surprising if coatings did not degrade over time to some degree when
exposed to the direct effect of Mother Nature in any climate or region.
“Enviromental Issues Facing the Metal Finishing Industry”
What is this recycling compliance directive from Europe all about?
The metal finishing industry as a whole faces diverse environmental issues in the wake of a variety of worldwide legislative measures
seeking to reduce the environmental impact of vehicle and electronic products and their manufacturing processes. A growing number
of nations and states have passed or are considering legislation and regulations, which would severely impact the ability of the
automotive and electronics industries to ship and sell products globally.
