It is compatible with both standard powder chemistries and those optimized for laser curing and cures in minutes, a fraction of the time required by traditional thermal processes and more efficient than conventional IR curing systems. This leads to meaningful energy savings through lower heat requirements and higher throughput.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThis collaboration, which represents a significant advancement in the coatings industry, positions us at the leading edge of powder finishing, highlights the strength of our partnership driven customer approach and reinforces our commitment to outside-the-can capabilities that bring value beyond our coatings,\u201d said David Bem, PPG senior vice president, science and technology and chief technology officer.<\/p>\n<p>\nPPG announced the installation of a state-of-the-art pilot finishing line that features IPG\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ipgphotonics.com%2Fproducts%2Flaser-systems%2Fmodular-laser-curing-system&amp;esheet=54435328&amp;newsitemid=20260302671542&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=PhotoniCURE%26%238482%3B+laser+curing+system&amp;index=2&amp;md5=0cd6cabc1992cf48b657eef5a5244303\">PhotoniCURE\u2122 laser curing system<\/a> at its powder manufacturing and technical facility in Strongsville, Ohio, and a laboratory system for research feasibility studies at the PPG Coatings Innovation Center near Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe company has begun conducting pilot trials for Whirlpool Corporation that evaluate various powder formulations cured with the PhotoniCURE laser system across a range of appliance components.
