PPG introduces PPG STEELGUARD® 652 waterborne coating for interior structural steel. PPG Steelguard 652 cellulosic passive fire protection (PFP) coating delivers up to two hours of fire protection.

Steel products can be given a high-grade architectural finish by using a polyester powder coating over hot-dip galvanized steel. This coating is considered as one of the most long-lasting protective ...

As reshoring increases and pressure mounts to get facilities up and running faster, high-performance coatings can help ...

This appendix reviews various coating process technologies: diffusion coating, thermal spray (particulate deposition), physical vapor deposition (atomistic or molecular transfer), and sputtering ...

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 ...

As building codes evolve and fire risks grow more complex, rigorous testing and third-party certification of passive fire ...

Corrosion and coating mechanics are critical to ensuring the longevity and reliability of structural systems across various engineering disciplines. Contemporary research focuses on understanding the ...

MXene thin films deliver brighter, more tunable structural colors and a wider color range than conventional materials, enabling scalable high-performance coatings for sensors, displays, and security ...

Regardless of customer anticipations, hot-dip galvanized structural steel has a grey coating, rather than a shiny coating. This usually leads to disagreements between galvanizers and their customers.

The development of melanin-based coating combines structural color with water-repellent and self-cleaning properties, emerging as a next-generation coating material. Ever wondered about the brilliant ...
