Trial Offers SUPPLEMENT to ien FINISHING WORLD IEN / OCTOBER '16 25 www.ien.com products SUBSCRIBE TO AT WWW.IEN.COM/SUBSCRIBE Resins Improve Coating Corrosion Resistance, Life Span LUMIFLON fl uoroethylene vinyl ether (FEVE) resins from AGC Chemicals Americas (Exton, PA) help aerospace manufacturers create durable coatings for aircraft in a range of colors and glosses that can reduce lifecycle costs, according to the company. Addition features include: The ability to protect military and commercial aircraft from degradation by UV light, wind, rain, chemicals and corrosion. • A lifespan of up to fi ve times that of acrylic urethanes, according to the company. • Reduced maintenance costs by up to 50% over the life of the plane — reduced the loss of revenue during scheduled repainting, as well. • No repainting for at >8 years, maintaining appearance and a durable surface that allows for cleaning. • The ability to formulate coatings from matte fi nishes to high gloss. • Clear resins, which makes them compatible with a range of pigments and colors. • Availability in high solids solvent grades and also in solid resins for the production of low-VOC and HAPS-free coatings. • The ability to be cured at room temperature or at elevated temperatures. • No heat curing, so topcoats can be applied in the factory or in the fi eld. www.agcchem.com; 610-423-4300 Robotic Applicator Delivers Fast Color Changes EXEL North America, Inc. (Plymouth, MI), manufacturers of Kremlin Rexson and SAMES brand products, announces the SAMES Accubell 709 EVO Robotic Applicator. The SAMES Accubell 709 EVO applicator is a robotic atomizer for water-based paint that delivers electrostatically charged paint effi ciently while minimizing waste and overspray, says the company. The Ac- cubell 709 EVO can be used in any indus- try that has a need for a robotic Class-A Finish. Features include: • The perfect blend of innovative technology with environmentally conscious modern- ization, with industry leading fi nish quality and exceptional cost savings effi ciency. • Fast and effi cient color changes, compatibility with existing paint circu- lating system and high accuracy of paint fl ow (+/- 1 cc). • Flexibility, delivering high transfer effi ciencies, fi nish quality and low color change and solvent waste which also pro- tects our environment. www.exel-na.com; 800-573-5554 EXEL North America, Inc. Sealer Provides 'Proof' That Casting Repairs Are Complete Stronghold Coating Systems (Franklin, OH) has introduced Blue Dichtol, a modifi ed im- pregnation coating for new (and newly repaired) castings. It is compatible with all ferrous and nonferrous materials, and composites. Blue Dichtol capillary sealer impregnates mi- cro-pores and hairline cracks without vacuum or pressure, forming a protective barrier to gases and liquids. It can be applied to raw metal, or to castings that have been coated with plasma, arc spray or HVOF coatings. Features include: • Exceptional capillary action, penetrating to 0.004", restoring pressure tightness and enhancing surface and varnish properties. • Proprietary engineered polymers that penetrate deeply (up to 20 mm) into the coat- ing, preventing corrosion of the metal substrate. • A distinctive blue tint, which provides positive visual proof that porosity has been sealed and casting repairs have been completed as specifi ed. This is a huge advan- tage for users in terms of both product performance, and product liability. • The ability to be applied on-site for repair that is both quick and convenient. Following air cure of approximately 1 hour per mm wall thickness, it provides exceptional resis- tance to chemicals, mechanical stress and temperature extremes. • A cured coating that is pressure resistant to 8700 psi, and heat resistant to 932 de- grees. Blue Dichtol also dampens vibration. www.strongholdone.com; 513-808-1695
