M ATERIALS WATCH Resins Sartomer Styrene Maleic Anhydride (SMA®) resins are multi-functional additives for use in thermoplastic formulations. The resins provide improved heat distortion prop- erties while maintaining other physical properties. Their maleic functionality provides good crosslinking and efficient melt-flow modification of polyamideand polyester-based materials. Imide derivatives of the base SMA resins are characterized by good thermal stability and are useful as additives in polyolefins to promote coating adhesion. All SMA resins are available in powder and flake forms. Visit www.sartomer.com. Electrostatic Powder Reduce line stoppages and production delays Evonik Industries Black VESTOSINT® powder for electrostatic application processes can be applied with commercially available tribo Introducing new special processes training … Understanding the Heat Treat System Assessment (CQI-9) Understanding the Plating System Assessment (CQI-11) Understanding the Coating System Assessment (CQI-12) These original courses, from the developers of the corresponding AIAG guidelines, detail: and corona spray guns. It allows coating film thicknesses down to 40 and provides corrosion protection and resistance to oil, grease and chemicals. It has excellent flow and fluidization properties, ensuring homogeneous electrostatic processability. Visit www.evonik.com. Powder Coating Additive Lubrizol Advanced Materials, Inc. PowderAdd™ 9080 structuring additive provides control of powder coating structured finishes, works across a variety of pigmentations, and can be used to create a hammertone effect with metallic and non-metallic pigments. Effective at low addition rates, it produces a coarse structure in powder coatings when added between 0.2 and 0.5 percent. Visit www.lubrizolcoatings.com. If you are involved in the implementation, maintenance and/or compliance of heat treat, plating and/or coating assessments, you can’t afford to miss these exclusive AIAG courses.
