BIO-DIESEL OPPORTUNITIES FOR COATING INDUSTRY ICIS © Copyright , All Right are reserved

Introduction- Bio-Fuels A biofuel is a type of fuel whose energy is derived from biological carbon fixation. Biofuels include fuels derived from biomass conversion, as well as solid biomass, liquid fuels and various biogases. Introduction- Bio-Diesel Bio-diesel refers to a vegetable oil consisting of long-chain alkyl esters and glycerin. Biodiesel is typically made by chemically reacting lipids with an alcohol producing fatty acid esters. Coating Industry As an industrial application paint and coating is not only decorative process but also process for safety enhancement. Types of Coating Industry The largest suppliers provides coatings to several areas of the market. These firms dedicated large resources to maintain strong positions in large market segments. A second type of firm provided specialized coatings to narrow segments of the OEM or special purpose markets. A third type of firm focused only on architectural coatings.

Composition Of Paints and Coating material Binders include synthetic or natural resins such as alkyds, acrylics, vinyl-acrylics, vinyl acetate/ethylene (VAE), polyurethanes, polyesters, melamine resins, epoxy, or oils. Latex paint is a water-borne dispersion of sub-micrometer polymer particles. Adverse Effect Epoxy paint can cause irritation and harm the tissues if it gets into your eyes. If it gets on your skin, then you may have an allergic reaction or develop skin inflammation. Inhaling epoxy paint can cause dizziness, headaches and even difficulty in breathing. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, industrial users of paint often faced strict environmental regulation on their operations because of the large volumes of solvents released in the surface coating process. These manufacturers turned to their paint suppliers demanding products which not only performed acceptably in all traditional characteristics but also incorporated significantly reduced amounts of organic solvents.
