[article]  inCOATINGS TECH > Vol. 16, N° 7 (07/2019) . - p. 26-35 Titre : A major appliances OEM design (and materials engineering) perspective Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Aggie Lotz, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : p. 26-35 Note générale : Bibliogr. Langues : Américain (ame) Catégories : Appareils électroménagers Conception technique Consommateurs -- Attitudes Essais de brouillard salin Peinture -- Propriétés physiques Revêtement -- Séchage:Peinture -- Séchage Revêtements poudre:Peinture poudre Index. décimale : 667.9 Revêtements et enduits Résumé : This article focuses on the current design and materials engineering practices employed by major appliance manufacturers in the United States for developing a new suite of household appliances. Alternative finishes challenging stainless steel are emerging as a highly marketable feature. Today’s unprecedented consumer demand for customizable appliance colors and textures (with decorative hardware finishes) that are integral to warm and inviting home interiors is likened to the wildly popular 1970s “harvest gold era.” Years of above GDP growth in new construction and home remodeling are drivers. Remodeling demand, in particular, is partly driven by home renovation-themed TV shows featuring celebrity hosts who, year after year, inspire multigenerational audiences to improve and update their living spaces. As outlined in the scope of the U.S. Market Analysis’ Chapter 10, Appliance Finishes, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) appliance finishes include powder coatings, coil coatings, and liquid coatings. Appliance finishes are used to protect and decorate interior and exterior plastic and most metal substrates (e.g., ranges, freezers, washers), heating equipment (furnaces), industrial furnaces and ovens, and air conditioning equipment. Stainless steel, by comparison, was historically unpainted but is now commonly coated with an anti-fingerprint coating, while the newer black stainless appliances have a unique finish process that varies by OEM.

Marine coatings : making sense of U.S., State, and local mandates of copper-based antifouling regulations / Aggie Lotz in COATINGS TECH, Vol. 13, N° 9 (09/2016)

Over regulating copper-based antifouling coatings - the most proven and utilized (marine) coatings in the world, which have been universally approved by numerous countries worldwide based on the results of exhaustive human health and environmental studies - is questionable".

Qualifying an XYZ robotic adhesive application for freezer assembly / Tim Jones in ADHESIVES & SEALANTS INDUSTRY (ASI), Vol. 26, N° 10 (10/2019)  

[article]  inADHESIVES & SEALANTS INDUSTRY (ASI) > Vol. 26, N° 10 (10/2019) . - p. 28-32 Titre : Qualifying an XYZ robotic adhesive application for freezer assembly : An appliance manufacturer successfully upgraded its freezer assembly process from an outdated XY-applied hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesive to a fully automated XYZ application Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Tim Jones, Auteur ; Aggie Lotz, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : p. 28-32 Langues : Américain (ame) Catégories : Adhésifs -- Application-dosage Adhésifs thermofusibles Assemblages collés Automatisation Essais d'adhésion Stabilité thermique Index. décimale : 668.3 Adhésifs et produits semblables Résumé : Electrolux is a global manufacturer of appliances ranging from washers and dryers to water heaters and dishwashers. The company’s St. Cloud, Minn., Manufacturing and Quality Assurance (QA) departments had identified a loss in productivity and inconsistent quality in its freezers. As a result, an internal team involving seven Electrolux departments in St. Cloud set out to upgrade from an outdated XY-applied hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesive (HMPSA) to a fully automated XYZ application process. At issue was a seemingly underperforming HMPSA. The Manufacturing department’s stopgap of reinforcing the HMPSA with large quantities of 2-in.-wide masking tape, which also required more labor hours, was driving up production costs. Equally important was the issue that the plant’s target for the number of freezers assembled per shift was not being met. An internal consensus was reached: the stopgap had to be replaced. Representatives from Electrolux’s Manufacturing, Quality Assurance (QA), Manufacturing Engineering, Maintenance, Electrical, Materials Engineering, and Purchasing departments regularly forged solutions through ad-hoc teams to improve plant operations. In this case, the company’s Purchasing department reiterated that Manufacturing’s stopgap was exceeding its bill of materials for the freezer application’s masking tape and labor. QA identified vibration noises in the freezer’s air duct subassembly, resulting in a higher-than-average service call rate (SCR) in the field. The Manufacturing Engineering, Maintenance, and Electrical departments wanted to update unreliable, outdated adhesive application equipment and operating software to mitigate escalating maintenance costs. Having identified these multiple objectives, the department representatives deployed an ad-hoc development team to address the HMPSA application and the SCR vibration noise. The team’s first order of business was to establish benchmarks.

Third-party validation of adhesive performance / Robert K. Ddamulira in ADHESIVES & SEALANTS INDUSTRY (ASI), Vol. 27, N° 3 (03/2020)  

[article]  inADHESIVES & SEALANTS INDUSTRY (ASI) > Vol. 27, N° 3 (03/2020) . - p. 10-11 Titre : Third-party validation of adhesive performance : This second installment of a two-part series higlights the value proposition of independent material testing and validation to high-value end-use markets Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Robert K. Ddamulira, Auteur ; Aggie Lotz, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : p. 10-11 Langues : Américain (ame) Catégories : Colles:Adhésifs Essais (technologie) Liaisons chimiques Polyacryliques Polyuréthanes Qualité -- Contrôle Réticulation à l'humidité Index. décimale : 668.3 Adhésifs et produits semblables Résumé : Independent testing and third-party validation of application-specific and customer-required adhesive products are expected across the value chain. It is especially important to validate adhesive performance for the electronics industry. Adhesive manufacturers often provide the results of their own laboratory testing initially to the customer (then to a third-party laboratory) for validation. When a customer doesn’t have internal laboratory resources to validate its suppliers’ research findings, it relies on a third-party laboratory (university or commercial testing facility) to provide a certified report validating materials, methods, and repeatable results. Meeting a military-grade requirement or MIL standard requires that both the supplier and its adhesive product be vetted by various U.S. Department of Defense agencies.
