- Powder coating on MDF: a sustainable future?Yesterday, Materia was invited to an event hosted by DSM about powder coating. While this technology in itself is not new, as powder coating…
- Kepla-coatKEPLA-COAT® is a white colored, plasma chemical coating that improves aluminium and titanium alloys. The coating has high corrosion resistance and excellent abrasion resistance. KEPLA-COAT® Black can be used to coat all commonly used aluminium- and titanium-based materials. The coating has high light absorption and increases the heat conductivity. The coatings consist of a series of oxide ceramic layers of different porosity densities which tune the coating to specific physical properties.
- Jotun powder coatingJotun developed various powder coatings for (engineered) wood that preserve the natural beauty of wood, are environmentally responsible, and commercially efficient. Ultra Lite protects the beauty of natural wood furniture. Primax Excel is a one-coat powder coating primer solution for MDF and HDF. Ultra One is a one-coat powder coating to give engineered wood a premium finish.
- Powder coatings Abcite® & Plascoat®Thermoplastic Powder coatings Abcite® and Plascoat®. A proven reliable coating solution for the most demanding environments. Coatings for parts and components used in demanding…
- Magoxid-coatThe MAGOXID-COAT® layer is a crystalline oxide ceramic with a high content of extremely resistant compounds such as spinels, e.g. MgAl204. The plasma-chemical process produces oxide ceramic layers, which, in addition to providing a high level of protection against wear and corrosion, also meets other requirements such as hardness, uniform layer formation, fatigue strength, dimensional accuracy and temperature load capacity.
- Edible Fungus Creates Natural Waterproof Coatings for Textiles, Paper and WoodResearchers have created a biobased, food-safe coating made from edible fungal mycelium. This new material offers designers a natural alternative to plastic-based waterproof layers…
- Soft-Touch CoatingsSoft-Touch Coatings enhance products with a velvety and nice-to-touch surface. The coating can be applied on any paintable substrate. The intensity of effects can be varied and exceptional optical and haptical effects can be obtained. The coating itself is transparent and can be combined with other coloured or non-coloured coatings.
- Saving flush water with a new toilet coatingResearchers at Pennsylvania State University in the US developed a coating that could reduce toilet water consumption by half, saving billion litres of water…
- New coating makes natural fabrics waterproofResearchers at MIT developed a new coating that not only adds water-repellency to natural fabrics, but is also more effective than coatings that are…
- Graphical Facade CoatingGraphical Facade Coating is a coating method to allow for a variety of design and coatings on various materials and surfaces. The base coat and façade paint are applied normally and the graphic design is sprayed onto the surface.
- Plasma Technology Explores PFAS-Free Water-Repellent Textile CoatingsWaterproof and stain-resistant performance textiles often rely on coatings containing PFAS. These fluorine-based chemicals offer excellent resistance to water, dirt and grease. However, they…
- Circular Coated FabricsThe presented material is a replacement of the traditional fossil-based coating with poly(lactic acid), a biobased plastic that is chemically recyclable. The objective was to demonstrate, within one year, the technical feasibility of a PLA-coated film that can be converted after use into high-quality raw materials through an environmentally friendly recycling route (alcoholysis).
- Innovative 3D Printing of Biobased Coatings for Protective GlovesProtective gloves are essential in sectors like construction, outdoor sports, and gardening. They rely on coatings to be abrasion-resistant, waterproof, and resistant to chemicals…
- Plant-based Apeel coating slows produce spoilageThe plant-based Apeel coating, developed by Apeel Sciences, slows the rate of water loss and oxidation of fruit and vegetables, keeping them fresh two…
- Solar-powered nano-coating could defrost car windowsResearchers at ETH Zurich developed a solar-powered nano-coating made from gold and titanium-oxide, that could help defrost windows. Defrosting one’s car windows is something…
- New fireproof plastic coating mimics mother of pearlPlastic is a very versatile material, but it is hardly fireproof without adding usually toxic fire-retardants. Looking at nature, however, researchers at the University…
- Line-x: an indestructible coating for all occasionsWouldn’t it be fantastic if the things you drop – your phone, a coffee cup, your grandmother’s antique vase - never break again? It…
- META-COATMETA-COAT is a Nickel-Phosphorous layer on plastic base components in order to improve temperature resistance, wear resistance, chemical resistance and solderability. Because of the application process of the metal coating, the composition can be varied. The final properties also depend on the original base material.
- ECI Ceramic CoatingECI Ceramic Coating is an environmentally friendly water based polymer roof and wall coating. This solar reflective coating reflects solar light and prevents heat conduction.
- ISLA Plastic-free paper cup coating is completely recyclableMany paper cups are coated with a thin layer of plastic to prevent the liquid content to spill out. However, while convenient when the…
- New coating to make fabric self-healing inspired by squidsHow often has it happened that you sat down and you heard a familiar ripping sound? Or that suddenly your toe pokes through your…
- Sea-Urchin-Inspired Coating Enables Robot To Filter Oil From WaterResearchers at RMIT University in Australia have developed a new oil-water filtration coating inspired by sea urchins. The material captures oil while repelling water.…
