A research team at the University of Nevada, Reno, has developed a new environmentally friendly coating for aluminum to replace the carcinogenic chromate coatings used in aerospace applications.
Devoe® Bar-Rust® 234P is the first solvent-free epoxy, low-temperature potable water tank lining system designed to meet the industry’s need for low VOC compliance, without compromising performance.
When it comes to coatings, the most popular color these days is most decidedly green: green for money, as in a product’s cost effectiveness and profitability; green for environmentalism, as in sustainable, healthy products; and green for “go”, in terms of meeting ever-more stringent standards and improved performance goals.
Scottish scientists Dr. David Hepworth and Dr. Eric Whale invented Curran®, an innovative additive for coatings. Curran® was developed with a special, patented process by Scottish company CelluComp Ltd.
