MICI specializes in paint coating for a variety of applications, one of the more popular applications being marine vessels. With that in mind, we thought it might be interesting to take a look at some of history’s most interesting watercraft. Harkening to ancient times, the fact that Australia was populated more than 40,000 years ago is a […]
International Marine Coatings. Sounds interesting, right? Well, maybe not but if you’re a person who enjoys watercraft and you want to keep your boat in top condition for as long as you can (and who doesn’t?) then international marine coating is something you’ll want to look into. Ok. So what is it? Marine coatings are […]
Waterborne Protective Paint has enjoyed a popularity surge over the past few years. This is due to a variety of reasons, not least of which is the fact that these types of coatings tend to produce very low volatile organic compound (VOC). As governmental regulations have tightened with regards to VOC, waterborne protective paints have […]
For more than thirty-thousand years, man has been using paint. In the earliest times, man used to paint images on cave walls. This provided us a glimpse of what their daily life was like. Some of those ancient cave paintings still exist today. It wasn’t until the Industrial Revolution that industrial coatings became a regular feature […]
“Agricultural coatings? You mean like paint?” We know what you’re thinking. Farming is dirty and dusty and gritty. Why would anyone in their right mind concern themselves with how the paint looks on their farm machinery? The answer is simple: protection. If you want your tractor or harvester to last, you have to take care […]
Let’s not mince words. If you own a boat, you don’t need anyone to tell you how much money you have invested in it. It’s no secret that properly maintaining your marine vessel is of vital importance. Throughout its everyday life, your boat is exposed to harsh elements and conditions that dull, fade, and generally wreak havoc on paint […]
Powder coating is a relatively new but incredibly fast growing technology formulated with both the consumer and industry in mind. This finishing technique is used to apply decorative and protective finishes to many types of metal and produces a final product nearly unmatched in durability, uniformity, quality, and attractiveness. There are many reasons companies like […]
As most farmers will tell you, agricultural machinery and equipment is extremely expensive. The cost of a combine in 2014 ranged anywhere from $330,000 to $500,000. Obviously, with prices like those, it behooves you to use the best available protective machinery coatings. Choosing the right paint can add years to your equipment’s lifespan.
New laws and regulations for the use of volatile organic compounds or VOCs in spray paints are quickly changing the way that vehicle-coating companies operate. These new rules are causing a transition from various solvent-based paints to a greater use of waterborne coatings. These changes are a result of studies showing benefits for the use […]
