CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGIES
30 To restore lost positions. Part 8. From glass captivity to coatings — Candidate of Tech. Sci., Associate Professor Voitovich V. A., Candidate of Tech. Sci., Professor Khryapchenkova I. N., Egorov V. A., Vakhromov R. V., Tomashuk A. V.
Abstract. The article draws attention to an unused source of polyvinyl butyral polymer — broken triplex. Examples of its use in paints and varnishes are given.
Keywords: broken triplex, polyvinyl butyral, coatings, removable coatings.

36 Plasma technology in the field of painting — Doctor of Chem. Sci., Prof. Stepin S. N., Doctor of Tech. Sci. Prof. Shaekhov M. F., Bach. Ilkaeva E. V.
Abstract. The basic plasma technologies used in the field of painting and equipment for their realization are considered. The efficiency of plasma treatment in surface cleaning before application of paint and varnish material, surface preparation of polymer objects for painting is shown. The peculiarities of plasma polymerization and its application for application of thin primer layers enhancing adhesion of coatings and encapsulation of corrosion inhibitors in order to use them as a substitute for toxic anticorrosion pigments are discussed.
Keywords: plasma, plasma surface preparation, plasma polymerization.
