Upcoming Events

Join us for one of our upcoming AIA/CES approved program: "Selecting a Resin-Based Coating for Metal." There are many kinds of resin-based coatings for metal, and two primary application techniques. In this course each of these coatings and application techniques are described and illustrated, along with important information on why these coatings fail and how the performance of these coatings is measured. The primary goal of this course is to provide architects and others who work with resin-based coatings for metal with the information they need to ensure that the coated product will perform as expected and provide a durable and long-lasting finish.
We have prepared 3 identical sessions, so pick the one that best fits your schedule!
• Session 1: Thursday, October 8 – 1 - 2pm ET
• Session 2: Thursday, October 22 – 1 - 2pm ET
• Session 3: Thursday, November 5 – 1 - 2pm ET
**We will send all registrants the slides and recording, but you must attend to receive your AIA credit!** REGISTER TODAY!!!

Jean-Yves Loze, Research Lab Manager for Powder Coatings and Additives at Arkema, will present a webinar on how to increase coating durability through the enhancement of mechanical properties. The webinar will focus on mechanical property modification and improvement made by the use of polyamide powders in liquid coating formulations. The presentation will illustrate the action of these additives, data about their impact on mechanical properties and on the final applicative properties of the coating, focusing on the benefits for the final customer in terms of durability improvement.

Today’s supply chain is shifting from “just in time” to “here and now”. Design engineers are no longer satisfied with standard products and are now demanding more personalized solutions – “faster”, “stronger”, “more sustainable”, “more renewable”, “smarter”. They demand materials that can be processed easily and then demonstrate outstanding performance. Arkema has solutions in liquid resins for UV curing, thermoplastic powders for powder bed fusion, and thermoplastic pellets for filament extrusion.

Join us at the Paint Square Connect Digital Event for a webinar presented by Dr. Kurt Wood, New Fluoropolymer Topcoat Standard for Protective and Restoration Coatings.

Summary: Fluoropolymer resin technologies have offered the possibility of a quantum improvement in topcoat decorative properties compared to conventional resins. Specifiers have expressed a need for an SSPC standard for field-applied fluoropolymer topcoats. The SSPC C.1.8 committee has been working to develop such a standard. A key challenge has been to identify a set of accelerated weathering test conditions which would allow for the reliable qualification of fluoropolymer topcoat formulations. Using a round-robin weathering study of 13 resin systems (fluorinated and non-fluorinated) from 10 different manufacturers, in four reference colors, accelerated test conditions have been identified that accurately differentiate between high weatherability fluoropolymer formulations, and conventional SSPC Paint 36 and MPI 311 formulations.

Taipei Building Show is the largest building show in Taiwan with a total of more than 2,000 booths. The Technical Polymers team will promote Kynar 500^® PVDF and Kynar Aquatec^® products. Kynar 500^® PVDF has been protecting some of the world's most iconic buildings for over 50 years due to its industry-leading weatherability. Water-borne coatings based upon Kynar Aquatec^® emulsions allow the formulation of low VOC coatings and help reduce air conditioning costs with cool roofing solutions.
