In this episode of the Powder Coated Podcast, hosts Kim Scott and Jim Kunkel explore a variety of topics relevant to the coatings industry. They discuss the significance of right to repair laws, particularly the strong legislation passed in Oregon, and its effects on industries like agriculture and consumer electronics. The conversation also covers the push for carbon neutrality, with a creamery aiming to achieve this by 2030, and the potential of carbon capture technologies.
The hosts delve into the challenges facing the antimicrobial coatings market, including workforce shortages and the need for regular reapplication of coatings in high-traffic areas. They touch upon the importance of antimicrobial coatings in public spaces, especially post-pandemic, for both their effectiveness and the assurance they provide to the public.
And in a special powder coatings segment, we'll bring you the latest news about Tiger Coatings and Sherwin Williams. We'll delve into what's happening with these industry giants and how their moves are shaping the coatings landscape.
The episode concludes with a fascinating look at the James Webb Space Telescope and the development of an ultra-black coating for space and ground-based imaging. This new coating, applied to aerospace-grade magnesium alloys, is designed to withstand the harsh conditions of space and improve the collection of faint light from distant celestial objects. The discussion highlights the importance of advanced coatings in space exploration and the continuous quest for scientific understanding.
