If you are interested in understanding the dynamics around powder coatings used in building and construction (aka architectural) applications, check out my article in CoatingsTech! The value chain is quite complex and difficult to navigate, so I kept it at a high level for this discussion. However, feel free to reach out if you want to discuss in more detail. My colleague Nathan Biller scored the featured article that is written more for technical folks who are interested in learning about gloss reduction techniques in powder coatings. Let us know what you think!

The longevity of structures we construct plays a crucial role in driving the sustainability of the built environment. Durable infrastructure will serve society longer, minimising embodied carbon emissions in the long run. This article is aimed to serve as a point of reference for designers during the design process and beyond into the service life.

Covering holes as part of your design or manufacturing process not only provides a clean finish, but also helps achieve structural integrity, as well as preventing dirt, dust and moisture ingress. Our guide explains the different types of hole plugs available, the materials they come in, and how to measure for them. https://lnkd.in/epKSZ8DB

Thermal efficiency directly impacts costs by reducing energy consumption. Higher thermal efficiency means less energy is needed for heating or cooling, leading to significant savings on utility bills and a lighter environmental footprint. www.BinswangerGlass.com #binswangerglass #energy-related #commercialwindows #innovateddesign

Tech Tuesday | The Sealing Triangle: Key Factors Influencing Reliability of Sealings 💡 At Burgmann Packings, we recognize that the effectiveness of sealing technology is influenced by three critical factors: Installation, Sealing, and Design. These elements form the Sealing Triangle are crucial in ensuring the reliability of sealing solutions.   1. Installation 🛠 Proper installation is essential to ensure the longevity and reliability of seals. Misalignment, incorrect torque, and contamination can lead to premature failure.   2. Sealing 🗜 The conditions the seal encounters significantly impact its performance. Factors such as chemical compatibility, temperature extremes, pressure variations, and abrasiveness of the media must be carefully considered to ensure the seal's durability and effectiveness.   3. Design ⚙ The design of the seal and the device it is intended for plays a pivotal role in the seal's effectiveness. Proper geometry, material selection, and environmental considerations are key to minimizing failure rates.   📧 By addressing these three factors, Burgmann Packings ensures reliable and efficient sealing solutions.   #SealingTechnology #SealingTriangle #Installation #Media #Design #Reliability #BurgmannPackings #TechTuesday #EngineeringExcellence

Time to get into the weeds on smart building design in support of the movement to decarbonize the built environment on a national scale. Retrofits of the building envelope and air sealing should be the first step and can help ensure your decarbonization investments aren’t going out the window….literally! Great series for those planning for portfolios to maximize those IRA tax incentives. #inflationreductionact #workforcedevelopment
