Argonne developed the base cementious formulation known as Ceramicrete. When it was initially developed, Ceramicrete was not intended as a spray…

Chemical Coatings makes lacquers, dyes and other coatings for furniture. Residents living in 750 homes within a two mile radius of the fire were evacuated…
The US Navy has had some coating issues recently with their Virginia class submarines – their anechoic (anti-sonar) coatings have been falling off on patrol! This is particular worrisome as the anechoic coating has been proven to make the subs extremely difficult to detect under water. As the coating fails…
It’s not easy to run a seawater corrosion test for more than 140 days. Why, you ask? Because when you are located 100 miles from the coast it can be challenge to come up with 90 gallons of seawater each week! Thanks to Kevin Carraway, Owner of KLI Courier &…
