Protective Coatings
Protective Coating on Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)
Customer Requirement: Development of very strong coating for EPS.
Challenges:
-
Mechanical properties
-
Adhesion to EPS
-
Development of coating method
Process:
-
Very strong coating was developed (see figure)
Solution: TecSolut is currently developing a 3D robotic coating process for application of this protective coating, following successful development of the coating process on a small scale.
Anti-graffiti Auto Coating
Customer Requirement: Development of an auto coating to prevent various paints from bonding to car surfaces (“anti-graffiti” coating).
Challenges:
-
Durability
-
Should be used against water-based and solvent-based paints
-
Paint should be removable with only water
-
Field application of coating, with minor surface preparation
-
More than 10 additional requirements
Process:
-
Different chemical strategies of anti-graffiti coatings were evaluated
Solution: TecSolut has developed a coating that is suitable for different types of paints. The technology has been licensed to an industrial customer.
