This issue of ipcm^® (which will be distributed at Samoter and at Fieragricola, in Verona) focuses on the coating of agricultural and earthmoving machinery. We also continue to provide information on the adoption of powder coatings for finishing heat-sensitive substrates, specifically phenolic resins. Finally, an Italian plant engineer has brilliantly solved the problems related to the coating of small parts.
