Latin America. The cover of the second edition of 2023 focuses on epoxy paint, whose chemical and physical resistance to different bacteria, apart from its low odor, provide it with a high and permanent protection to scenarios such as hospitals and laboratories.
The central article includes the development of a sanitary line prepared from copper nanoparticles to reduce the burden of COVID-19 by a Chilean company. Likewise, some guidance is provided regarding the application and tones.
On the other hand, Dr. Patrick Dodds, founder of Hexigone Inhibitors, has a new generation of inhibitors that currently drives innovation in the industrial coatings market.
Likewise, Juan Manuel Álvarez describes the durability in corrosion control of a structure, which is determined by the protection time.
"This is achieved by the mechanisms that are designed for protection or by the assertive protection, preparation and application of products," says Álvarez.
Next, the corrosion consultant, Pedro Moreno Junco, presents a practical guide to estimate the category of atmospheric corrosivity with quantitative and extrapolated values of the regulations.
Meanwhile, engineer Abel de la Cruz argues that the most demanded specialty within the field of engineering for the prevention and control of corrosion of materials in new construction and maintenance projects is the design, selection, approval and specification of protective coatings.
This is followed by an analysis of the application booths of the so-called electrostatic paint. This is used for uniform and permanent finishes in parts of the treatment, handling and use of metals and MDF industries, which avoids the creation of bubbles so common in the application of the traditional liquid painting system.
For his part, Claudio Fazzone shares an analysis of the growth experienced by digital marketing actions in recent years.
Finally, our professional of the month, Consuelo Peláez, reveals her challenges, passions and history beyond her commitment of more than 20 years as executive director of STAR and organizer of the different Andean coatings conferences held during this century.
