FIN-X ’07 Delivers Quality Exhibits, Conference Prog

J

udging by exhibitor and attendee evaluations, the first FIN-X Conference & Expo for Industrial Finishers, held September 17 – 20 in Indianapolis, delivered high quality exhibits, an outstanding conference program and attendees who were seriously looking to improve their finishing operations and technologies. New and innovative features were launched at FIN-X ’07, and were very popular. The Demonstration Lab on the expo floor included a batch powder coating booth and IR oven where attendees could go from conference sessions to the show floor for hands-on training. Additionally, the lab featured the VirtualPaintTM training system for simulation of liquid finishing. Here attendees could test their spraying skills and measure milage and transfer efficiency on a variety of different shaped parts. The demo lab was busy all week long. “I was delighted with the Demo Lab area,” commented FIN-X Programming & CCAI Technical Director Rodger Talbert. “This was a new experience for us and everyone appreciated the opportunity for non-commercial training on the show floor. It was great and we already have ideas to make it even better in the future.” A keynote address from author Mike Collins on “Saving American Manufacturing” Continued on page 4

FIN-X ’07 Delivers Quality Exhibits...cont. great to discuss the value of CCAI with those who stopped at the new booth.” CCAI thanks everyone who took time to share booth duty during the show. Attendees came from 42 U.S. states plus Washington, DC; 4 Canadian provinces and 12 foreign countries. Registered attendees plus exhibit personnel combined for a final registration count of 2,320. CCAI National Board Member and Texas Chapter President, Jeff Watson of R3 Water Technologies Div. of Pneu-Mech Systems noted “it is critical these days to be able to see, touch, learn about, and compare multiple technologies and longer sections of the supply chain. That is why FIN-X was valuable to me. Not only did I make some very nice sales contacts and meet new vendors on the floor, but I achieved the main benefit of any trade show and that’s to get a feel for the future of my industry. Exhibiting and attending trade shows aren’t inexpensive, but forward looking people who can see a larger picture will readily see the value.” Attendees agreed with Jeff Watson. Of the attendees returning evaluations, 87% said it was worth their time to attend FIN-X ’07 and 94% said they obtained useful information on the show floor. “I had a great time in a wonderful city and can't wait to see what next year will bring,” commented an attendee. “I learn something new each year and always bring something of value back to my company.”

provided insights into a wide variety of American manufacturers and methods for keeping their companies competitive and prosperous that any company can implement. He shares his thoughts throughout his 342-page book, available for purchase on the FIN-X website: www.fin-xshow.com. You can also purchase a copy of the FIN-X Conference Proceedings CD on the FIN-X website as well. The CD contains more than 50 presentations from the FIN-X ’07 Technical Conference. Many felt that FIN-X was a much more diverse show than past finishing events. “This was truly a diverse exhibitor show floor,” noted Bruce Bryan of Wagner Industrial Solutions and the Northern Illinois Chapter. “There was a much wider variety of finishing technologies represented and it was great to see new technologies from industry segments such as robotic suppliers. Every attendee had the opportunity to visit with suppliers from multiple finishing technologies.” Bob Warren from the West Michigan Chapter, managed the CCAI booth on the expo floor along with assistance from National and Chapter board members. “The new CCAI booth at FIN-X-07 increased the interest in “What is CCAI”, Bob Warren noted. “We had three or four times the number of inquires than in past shows. We should realize new individual, custom coater and corporate membership from the show. CCAI’s manuals continue to be perceived as valuable to the industry. It was

Another highlight of FIN-X ’07 was the plant tour to Schafer Powder Coating at the close of the expo. Attendees saw a new state-of-the art powder coating system and were able to ask many questions of owner Mark Schafer and Midwest Finishing Systems who installed the equipment. Javier Lujan Williams, an attendee from PMS Argentina s.a. writes “The plant tour was GREAT!! The explanation of the process and the plant itself was really great. It was nice to be able to see a brand new plant. Congratulations.” CCAI held an appreciation breakfast on Wednesday morning to thank our Corporate members for their support of the association. Products Finishing was honored during the breakfast with a CCAI Member Appreciation Award for their long-time support of CCAI’s Annual Meeting. Finally, Anne Goyer, Conference and Expo Manager is very proud to announce that the FIN-X ’07 Monday Night Football Party generated $3,500 that will be split between our two charities: The V Foundation for Cancer Research and the New Orleans Mathematics and Science High School. “It was a fun evening of food, drinks, raffle prizes and football, but the best thing is that we raised money for two very worthy charities. We plan to continue these efforts at future shows.” Details on FIN-X ’09 will be announced in the near future. FIN-X ’07 was sponsored by five of the leading industry

New Products Showcased at FIN-X ’07 CHEMETALL OAKITE OXISILANE Chemetall Oaktite also introduced a new treatment product that saves energy and reduces some of the secondary costs associated with pretreatment. Their silane-based products are nono-scale technology that provides excellent results without heat. Oxisilane does not produce sludge like traditional phosphates so disposal costs are reduced. The silane molecule is a silicon atom combined with an organic molecule. More complex silanes described as “organofunctional” are used for the Oxilane product. In order to further enhance performance, non-regulated group IV-B metals are used to selectively and preferentially bond to the metal substrate, providing improved corrosion-resistance performance compared to a silane-only process. DUBOIS DUJEL 200 CLEANER Batch coaters often find themselves left out of the research and development loop. New technologies are made for high volume users and they are stuck with the same old tricks. Dujel 200 is targeted for hand wand application. Dujels are applied in a gel form to provide extended dwell time and superior cleaning compared to conventional liquid and foam products. They are capable of removing oil and grease, white rust, red rust, hard water/carbonate scale, laser scale and mill scale. The gel allows the material to stay in con-

tact with the soiled surface for a much longer time and continue to work on stubborn soils. As the slow-moving product flows along the surface it continually brings fresh chemical to bear on the surface. PARKER IONICS PULSE POWER II POWDER GUN The new Pulse Powder II uses one gun setting that provides higher charging efficiency while limiting free ions. The result is better coverage on all types of surfaces including recoats, Faraday areas and flat surfaces with reduced orange peel and back-ionization. WAGNER C4 HI-COAT POWDER GUN The new C4 Hi-coat powder gun uses a new pump design to reduce the total volume of air required. Working in combination with a smaller diameter, grounded hose, the new pump provides a higher volume of powder with less velocity. This combination provides a significant improvement in standard deviation and coverage on a variety of part geometries. MOTOMAN PX-SERIES PAINTING ROBOTS Motoman had a working example of their painting robotic arms in the booth. The PX-series stretches robotic application by providing application specific robots suitable for large and small applications. In combination with their MotoSim EG simulation system they have taken robotic application to a new level that is suitable for liquid and powder applications. HENKEL NEW GENERATION COATING PROCESSS The New Generation Coating process (NGC) is a new approach to pretreatment that provides a conversion coating on steel, galvanized steel and aluminum that meets the following goals. It is shorter and simpler than the current phosphate processes and it significantly reduces the environmental impact of phosphate processes while providing corrosion performance that meets typical metal finishing specifications. The NGC process is based on non-regulated zirconium chemicals compared to tri-cationic zinc phosphate that contains four regulated chemicals: Zn, Ni, Mn and phosphate. The NGC process offers an opportunity for a shortened process footprint and reduced water usage because of the reduced number of stages required compared to zinc phosphate. All testing to date indicates that the New Generation Coatings provide corrosion performance that is within the metal finishing industry specifications and very comparable to the zinc phosphate coatings that have been in use for a century. PPG INDUSTRIES ELECTROCLEAR® & ELECTROCOLOR® PPG has commercialized ELECTROCLEAR® 2700, an electrodeposited clear resin for use in decorative markets such as door hardware, automotive trim, and extrusions. The clear coating can be tinted with PPG’s new complimentary tint line to produce transparent color coatings called ELECTROCOLOR®. The ELECTROCOLOR® Gemstone Color Collection consists of eight tints made with a proprietary grinding process that produces a “dye-like” appearance but delivers the long-lasting UV durability of a conventional pigment. The intense color strength of the tints allows for minimal tint usage to obtain strong color development while allowing the e-coat bath run like a clear providing significant operational advantages. –6–

Chapter Events Recap Twin Cities Kicks Off Programming with Meeting on Energy

Wisconsin Chapter

On September 27th, the Twin City Chapter began the year’s programming with a dinner meeting presentation covering the energy challenges that face OEMs and custom coaters with electrical and gas utility usage. A two-man team from Utility Partners gave the presentation covering such topics as the billing components that utility companies use. In addition to the cost factors the group in attendance learned what utility based cost savings technologies are available. A unique part of the program was the selection of real examples of energy saving specifics that have been used by local companies.

Golfers get ready to enjoy their round of golf at the Wisconsin Golf Outing.
