Coatings on plastics is focus of Pittsburgh Society meeting.


The January meeting of the Pittsburgh Society featured a technical presentation by Rose A. Ryntz, of Visteon Corporation. Dr. Ryntz, the President-Elect of the FSCT FSCT Federation of Societies for Coating Technology
FSCT Fire Support Control Terminal
, spoke on "Understanding the Mechanical Behavior of Automotive Coatings on Plastics in Relation to Scratch Resistance."

 Dr. Ryntz, the sensitivity of automotive coatings to scratching, particularly coatings for plastics, has been a growing concern among auto makers. In her presentation, Dr. Ryntz attempted to correlate the scratch resistance behavior of different one-component hydroxyl-functional acrylic acrylic, artificial fiber made from a special group of vinyl compounds, primarily acrylonitrile. Acrylic fibers are thermoplastic (i.e., soften when heated, reharden upon cooling), have low moisture regain, are low in density, and can be made into bulky fabrics.  or polyester-acrylic-melamine crosslinked systems. She stated that the critical depth to fracture fracture, breaking of a bone. A simple fracture is one in which there is no contact of the broken bone with the outer air, i.e., the overlying tissues are intact. In a comminuted fracture the bone is splintered.  of flexible coatings may be the relevant indicator of field performance for coatings on plastics.
