Thermoplastic finishes
Keywords: Thermoplastics, Coatings
The benefits claimed of cost-effective thermoplastic coating solutions over alternative finishes are spelled out in a free, glossy new brochure from the thermoplastic powders manufacturer Plascoat.
Overcoming the environmental concerns associated with some thick film finishes is one of the key benefits highlighted in "The Art of Protection" brochure. Plascoat asserts that all of its powders are environmentally friendly, solvent-free and contain no heavy metals.
Performance advantages claimed, including long term corrosion protection of metal items with no cracking, peeling or chipping in the face of challenges from the weather, chemicals, pollutants and vandals are featured.
Ease of application, whether fluidised bed dipped rotationally lined, electrostatic or flock sprayed, and the wide range of industrial sectors where Plascoat solutions have been provided are covered in words and full-colour illustrations.
Plascoat's size reduction services to the rotomoulding, carpet backing, polymer reclamation, masterbatch additives and textile coating markets are also embraced.
