#coatings — Public Fediverse posts

A cost-effective and multifunctional filler for #paints and #coatings could be
obtained from chicken feathers in the future: #keratin. Researchers at two
Fraunhofer Institutes have achieved promising results with this protein:

#Satellites in #Earth #orbit play a major role in everyday life on Earth and make the global #connectivity via our media possible in the first place. However, the increasing number of satellites in #lowEarthorbit (#LEO) can also #brighten the #nightsky in places and interfere with #astronomical #observations. Degen et al. (2026) recommend #retroreflective #coatings on satellites to #redirect #sunlight in order to reduce brightness.

‘#ForeverChemicals’ – the part of cleaning you don’t want to last

"Notable categories of cleaners that either may contain, or have historically contained, PFAS are:

- glass and hard surface cleaners
- fabric, upholstery, and #CarpetCleaners and treatments
- #waxes and polishes for #floors, #furniture, #cars and #boat vessels
- dishwashing rinse aids
- #AerosolPropellant-based #cleaners and #AirFresheners
- #paints and #coatings.

"Floor sealers and finishes – products that cure into a film once applied – often contain PFAS. During floor stripping and waxing, PFAS concentrations in dust and air particulate matter were one order of magnitude greater than typical residential indoor air and two orders of magnitude greater than outdoor air, according to a 2022 study.

"But now the cleaning products #Industry wants to keep consumers in the dark about the use of these chemicals in their brands. Earlier this month, a bill was introduced in Congress on behalf of leading household cleaning product makers that would deny Americans the right to know about #ToxicChemicals in cleaning products.

"The manufacturer #Reckitt applauded Rep. Larry Bucshon (R-Ind.) for introducing the bill, which would rob consumers of crucial information about the ingredients in their products. Reckitt makes popular household brands like #Lysol, #Woolite, #AirWick, #Vanish, #Calgon, among many others.

And industry giant #SCJohnson
called for a 'clear federal standard' on disclosing ingredients, knowing any such standard could take a decade or longer. The company manufactures #Glade, #Drano, #Pledge, #ScrubbingBubbles, #Shout and #Windex, along with many other products, including #Ziploc."

The same thin film interference effect is used for lens #coatings (and glasses) to minimise reflection, and to max transmission. As this process depends on the wavelength, it doesn’t work equally well for all colours, leading to slightly coloured glasses. #SummerOfPhysics 14/n
