    Kristin recently traveled to Troy, Michigan, for the 43rd Annual Coating Industry Future Research (FOCUS) Conference hosted by the Detroit Coating Technology Association (DSCT). This is the largest FOCUS program to date, with 320 participants, 18 exhibitors, 16 student technology posters and six automotive design posters from the Detroit Innovation Research Center on display. This is the second year in a row THATUS has more than 300 participants, the next year DSCT will have to find a bigger venue for the event

    conference is held in Detroit, the focus is naturally inseparable from automotive paint. This year's reports come from Ford Motor, General Motors, Asda, Eastman, BASF, Bick Chemical, Doyle, Covestro, the University of Kentucky, and California State University. The report topics cover color development, measuring the customer value given by color, corrosion protection for light halos in automobiles, scratch and scratch resistance in automotive varnishes, hybrid resins for high-solid paint, curing of innovative automotive bodys from the inside out, and more.
    this conference focuses on automotive coatings, but also on aviation coatings. Jill Seebergh, a senior technician at Boeing, explores the technologies and challenges of coatings for the exterior of commercial aircraft. Seebergh believes some of the challenges facing aeronautical and automotive coatings are similar, and he shares some of the problems Boeing aircraft face in coating, how they were overcome, and what lessons T learned in the process. The aviation industry, for example, was initially very conservative in pushing to replace the six-price list, as safety and performance were the number one priorities. To replace a phosphate material, any material must first perform fairly well. They hope that the transition will be natural. After testing, Boeing found that the combination of standard testing and bad testing worked best, and that outdoor exposure testing in its own area alone was not enough and must be tested globally. They also gain valuable experience in how surface treatment affects corrosion performance. Mr Seebergh said it might be easy for paint experts present, but not for Boeing. Today, Boeing aircraft are using a non-acrylic material for external paint.
    challenge for Boeing is their new Boeing 787. The design of the new model, the body from aluminum structure to composite-based. Since the aircraft can no longer use chemical peelers, new requirements have been created for the spraying (and re-painting) of aircraft. Boeing has developed a selective peelable system that removes only external finishes and keeps the primer intact, ensuring that the body composites are protected from damage and do not need to be polished. But in terms of the durability of the paint, Boeing has also received complaints from customers about "nail rashes, (paint peeled off willow nails), quick loss of gloss and color shift." These problems are a big problem for airlines because color and design are an important part of aircraft logos. In order to solve the problem of nail rash, Boeing chose a sol-gel with better adhesion instead of existing technology. They also improve gloss and color shift problems by replacing a single coating with a base/transparent coating system.
    another challenge Boeing is currently solving is anti-fouling coatings that are used to improve the efficiency of the flammation. By preventing insects from massing in the aircraft, airlines can greatly improve fuel efficiency.
    the aviation industry expects to deliver 41,000 new aircraft by 2036. The industry is also committed to finding ice-resistant coatings that are easy to clean and improve brand recognition. According to such production efficiency, automated production is indispensable. Currently, all Boeing aircraft coating and corresponding preparations are done by manpower, a process that takes 3-10 days, depending on the type of color required and the amount of
