ADVANTAGE OF EVALUATING COATINGS IN A REAL-WORLD MANUFACTURING ENVIRONMENT

摘要

This article outlines an unmet industry need for formulators to conduct robust testing of their coatings products in real-world or simulated environments that closely resemble an OEM facility's environmental and processing conditions as coatings are applied and cured. The illustrative examples provided in this article are not hypothetical but are based on actual OEM and end-user processes, widely available coatings products, and current market dynamics.
