Thermoplastic coatings application

Thermoplastic resins, such as vinyl chlorides, vinyl acetates and polyamides are employed, particularly in the water industry, on buried pipes and fittings. To provide both internal and external coating, application may be by one of these principle techniques dipping in a plastisol, fluidised beds or electrostatic spray. 

Isosorbide polyurethanes, especially those based on aliphatic isocyanates, may be useful in the same applications as conventional polyurethanes i.e. thermoplastics, coatings, and foams. In fact, excellent rigid foams have been obtained from P(I-MDI)(5). Isosorbide has a low melting point of 61°C and it is suitable for use in reactive injection molding processes alone or in the form of a mixture with other conventional diols. In addition, its polymers may also find specific applications due to the anticipated high complexation ability of the two tetrahydrofuran rings in their isosorbide units. 

Hansa Yellows. Hansa yellows are quite opaque when compared to the other organic family yellows. Hansa yellows as a family are known as potentially significant bleeders. This limits their use in most thermoplastics. Hansa yellows do have utility in some thermoset plastics. Care should be exercised when contemplating the use of Hansa yellow s in polymers. Hansa yellow s popularity and great usage is in coating applications. 

Thermoplastic polyurethane resins were also prepared by the author [2] from 4,4 -methylene diphenylisocyanate with poly(3,3-bis-(2,2,3,3,4,4,4-hepta-fluorobutoxymethyl)-co-3-(2,2,3,3,4,4,4-heptafluorobutoxymethyl)-3-methy-loxetane) using dibutyltin dilaurate as catalyst and used in low surface energy coating applications... 

In coating applications, urethane chemistry is used to cross-link coatings and also to prepare thermoplastic polyurethanes or isocyanate-terminated pre-polymers. 

The coating must also be solidified very rapidly once it is applied to the fiber so that it will offer protection when the capstan is reached. This requirement rules out solvent-containing formulations for all but the thinnest coatings, because solvent removal is a slow process. Solvent-free coating formulations that are rapidly cross-linked by thermal activation or by UV radiation can be used very successfully. Thermoplastic hot-melt systems that solidify quickly upon cooling are also viable. The material systems of choice for this application depend upon both coating-application and coating-performance considerations.

This book focuses on bio-based plastics. It emphasizes materials that are presently in use or that show a significant potential for future applications. It presents a broad, up-to-date but concise overview of basic and applied aspects of bioplastics. The main focus is on thermoplastic polymers for material use. Elastomers, thermosets and coating applications, Uke, for example, natural rubber or alkyd resins, will be covered in other volumes of the series. 

Can ends are stamped from sheets of precoated metal. These coatings need to be able to self heal after stamping and for this reason are usually solvent-based thermoplastic coatings. Production speeds for a typical B B line run into millions of units per day so application and cure times are measured in seconds with very hot (> 200°C) stoving temperatures. Most B B products are now of two-piece, as opposed to three-piece, design. The market for this type of container is more mature in the USA than in Europe. 

Section 9.3.2.1 discusses materials of construction for NaOH and KOH in some detail a short summary of their application to product tankage follows here. Carbon steel is the standard material of construction for NaOH and KOH below 50°C. Corrosion allowances of about 3 mm usually apply. Welds should be made with rods containing 2% Mo. Stress relief can extend the serviceable temperature range (Fig. 14.21), but Ae danger of contamination of the caustic continues to increase. If temperatures may occasionally be higher or if product contamination is a major consideration, tanks are lined or coated. Rubber and thermoplastic coating systems are widely used, and some tanks are lined with metal sheets or cladding. When more resistant metals are necessary, stainless steel and nickel also appear in this service. Stainless steels offer improved... 

Thermoplastic coatings are often fabricated from powders. To coat a metallic object it is either dipped into a fluidized bed from which the powder deposits or one uses a spray gun to project the powder onto the metal surface. In electrostatic powder coating the polymer powder is projected in the presence of an electric field. This permits coating of recesses and hidden faces that are not in line of sight with the spray gun. After application of the powder, the object is annealed, and the powder transforms into a compact polymer coating. 

In 1999, Dow Chemical introduced a new epoxy-based thermoplastic resin, BLOX, for gas barrier, adhesives, and coatings applications. 

DR pigments are used in paint applications where their properties are required, such as high-temperature paints and coil-coating paint systems based on fluoropoly-mers, silicone-polyester, and plastisol. The NiSbTi and CrSbTi DR pigments are used in trade sale paints including acrylic house paints, general industrial paints in polyester systems, and fleet colors in thermoset acrylic, thermoplastic acrylic, and polyurethane systems. They are also used in polyester-based powder coating applications.
