Navigating Coating Choices: Trans-ACC’s Insight into Powder and Liquid Coatings
As explored in the article “The pros and cons of powder and liquid coatings” by Fleet Equipment Magazine, both powder and liquid coatings present unique advantages and disadvantages in the world of surface finishing. When it comes to powder coatings, one significant benefit lies in their lower Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) content compared to many […]
Trans-ACC: Unveils the Basics of Powder Coating
As explained by Adventure Play Systems’ Powder Coating 101: Powder coating is a versatile dry powder used to coat metals, offering an excellent alternative to traditional liquid paints. Unlike liquid paint, it is applied electrostatically and then cured under heat. This method finds extensive use in metal finishing for various applications such as vehicle parts, […]

HTE Powder Coatings Take Coverage to the Next Level
One of the most notable appeals of powder coating is that it generates less waste due to a high material utilization rate. First, unlike liquid paint which is always a spray-to-waste process, powder overspray can be reclaimed and recycled, depending on the capabilities of the coater, the number of colors utilized, the absence of contaminants […]

Benefits and Limitations of Powder Coating
Powder coating is a dry finishing process in which free-flowing, thermoplastic or thermoset powder material, rather than a liquid suspension, is applied to a surface, melted, and then allowed to dry and harden into a protective coating. Typically, the powder is applied via electrostatic spray deposition (ESD) to an electrically grounded metal substrate. Once the […]

Powder Coating Bonderized Steel
Bonderized steel consists of hot dipped galvanized steel (G90 grade) that is pretreated with a phosphate followed by a chromate sealer and dried off in an oven. The process produces a dull, gray-colored finish. Bonderized is commonly referred to as “Paint Grip.” This product is commonly used for roofing, wall panels, and coil. As for […]

CARC Paint Storage is Different than Every Day Paint Protection
Military vehicles, equipment, ships and aircraft are all exposed to extreme conditions. For the U.S. Armed Forces, only military grade paints that meet stringent military standards are suitable for these conditions. Chemical Agent Resistant Coatings (CARC) are well-known military grade paints. Products meeting this specification resist the penetration of chemical agents and require special storage. […]

Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC)
1. BACKGROUND. CARC is a coating system that provides surfaces that are easily and effectively decontaminated after exposure to liquid chemical agents. There are three types of coatings in the CARC system: an epoxy polyamide primer, an aliphatic polyurethane paint (PUP), and epoxy polyamide enamel. Each of the coatings is supplied as a two-component system. […]
DESCRIPTION OF CARC
The US military relies on paint to achieve a variety of visual and mechanical effects, ranging from camouflage to unit identification to the protection of metal surfaces. CARC-painted surfaces resist the absorption of chemical warfare agents, making decontamination much easier to accomplish. Chemical agent resistant coatings—CARC—make up the largest category of paints applied to the […]
