Industrial Coatings
Industrial coatings on plastics fail for reasons that have little to do with the coating itself: a polyolefin that was never pretreated, a mold release that stayed on the part, a hardcoat specified for the wrong exposure. This topic collects the articles on coating defects such as craters and fisheyes, delamination diagnosis, primer versus pretreatment on polyolefins, hardcoats for polycarbonate and acrylic, conductive and EMI-shielding coatings, soft-touch finishes, and how interior and exterior coating specifications should differ. The industrial coatings services page describes the UV, hydrophobic, anti-corrosion and anti-icing coating systems Sabreen engineers for plastic and metal substrates.
