aint and other coatings are often the essential or final ingredient in products
that must be highly resistant to environmental effects such as corrosion or
highly performing in various other ways.
Recently, the industry has begun incorporating nanoparticles and
similar materials to provide additional properties, such as even greater protection
against corrosion, strong antimicrobial properties or even to add conductivity to
powder coatings.
It's a burgeoning field one part of which has been cornered by OCSiAL, the world's
largest producer of graphene nanotubes.
The name OCSiAL represents the symbols of four chemical elements: oxygen,
silicon, aluminum, and carbon.
" We believe that carbon nanomaterials - graphene nanotubes and graphene sheets
- will form the core of future changes, " the company says.
OCSiAL is achieving success all over the coatings map from anti-icing coatings to
protection of containers of flammable liquids.
Most recently, it has been working with Erie Powder Coatings which has developed
a new powder coatings formulation with graphene nanotubes for electromagnetic
interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) applications. The
graphene nanotubes provide a shortcut to adding conductivity in the powder coat.
Sensitive electronic equipment, for example, which may be adversely affected
by radiated interference, known as EMI and RFI, requires a conductive coating to
protect it. An antistatic additive is the key ingredient that enables conductivity
in coatings. While most additives on the market are able to provide the required
resistivity, there can be drawbacks, OCSiAL says.
