Dust-free powders for painting
F O C U S
NEW PRODUCTS Dust-free powders for painting Borealis has launched products using the firm’s Borecene PE technology. The first product is Borecene Compact, which is a powder-form resin offering a dustfree work environment since it does not need the grinding process. It has smoother flow properties and is suitable for application in complex moulds having narrow threads and spaces for petrol tanks and automotive components. The product also has shorter cycle times, fewer wall bubbles and better surface finish, which all result to enhanced mechanical properties and consistent endproduct. The other product is Paintable Borecene, which was jointly developed by the firm and
O N
POWDER
Arplas in Germany utilising plasma treatment technology. The technology modified the chemical properties of powder’s surface and made it hydrophilic for increased surface tension. The product is intended for applications that require adhesive fixtures, coating or painting. A bar graph shows the dust-free level differentiation during processing with Borecene.

C O AT I N G S Advances in Coatings Technology” there are twelve separate sessions covering most aspects of modern coatings technology. Powder coatings formulators will find many items of interest in the wide range of programmes although Session VIII is designated Automotive and Powder Coatings. A specific powder coatings topic is “Reducing the Cure Window of Powder Coatings” by researchers at DSM Coatings Resins. The usual poster presentations will be made during the Coatings Show and titles listed include an up-date on growth in the powder coatings markets (2000-2010) by Franco Busato of Irfab Chemical Consultants, Belgium.
