SECTION TITLE
COATING TECHNOLOGY
oatings play a vital role in helping engineers meet the dual challenges of improving the performance characteristics and durability of components and addressing sustainability challenges. Demand for new restoration and repair techniques for high-value parts in industries such as aerospace, power and oil and gas is also continuing to grow, and as new applications arise from recent technological advances, such as those in the e-mobility sector, the development of innovative coating methods and materials is paramount. Here’s a look at some of the recent advances from the coatings sector aiming to meet these requirements.
SINGLE-LAYER ANTICORROSION Industrial coatings manufacturer Axalta has launched a new single- layer solution for Flame Spray coating technology, Abcite 2060. Engineered to off er exceptional anticorrosion protection without the need for a coating line, the technology can be applied by depositing semi-molten polymer particles onto a heated surface which then fuse to the surface to form a comprehensive polymer coating. Abcite 2060 is suitable for use on large
metal structures that are exposed to a variety of demanding environments. T e coating is designed to protect surfaces

COATINGS COVERED C
In light of continuing demand for improved part performance, protection, and sustainability within industrial applications, we round up the latest innovations in the coatings sector
from adverse weather conditions by creating an impermeable barrier which mitigates the degradation of materials and subsequently the associated impact of unplanned repair work. Specially designed for highly corrosive
environments, the one-layer system eliminates the need for a primer while off ering full compliance with the ISO 12944-6/-9 standard for galvanised and grit-blasted steel. Abcite 2060 is also resistant to several other factors that compromise surface material performance, including the presence of alkalines and acids, condensation, UV exposure and abrasions.
Alongside its anticorrosion protection
benefi ts, the coating is engineered to provide excellent edge and corner coverage while availability in a range of colours off ers an aesthetic appearance to metal parts.
ENHANCED EV BATTERY PROTECTION T e performance of current and future electric vehicles (EVs) is highly dependent on the performance of the battery and associated systems within. Battery performance can be impacted by its surrounding environment, however, and so protection against corrosion and excellent insulation is needed to ensure optimal
performance and safety. Chemicals company Akzonobel has launched a new range of Resicoat EV powder coatings to protect the battery system and electrical components of a new generation of EVs. T e Resicoat EV range consists of fi ve product lines specifi cally designed to improve the safety and performance of EVs, each featuring superior electrical insulating properties and enhanced thermal
