EPS and GIT have partnered to add propeller coatings across EPS' fleet. The extensive application will maximize vessel performance with GIT’s eco-friendly, highly durable, and ultra-low friction foul-release coating.
Many waterborne coating formulations utilize eco-friendly biopolymers, which have beneficial properties such as being biodegradable, and contain much fewer VOCs. Today, there are renewable materials that are worth consideration and greater investigation to further improve sustainability of products at the end of their useful lives; these materials are carbohydrate-based polymers produced from starch.
A more sustainable industry requires the discovery and utilization of new raw materials and technologies, presenting an opportunity to develop products with unique properties not previously explored in the additives sector.
In an era marked by an increasing emphasis on sustainability and eco-friendliness, the coatings industry is undergoing a transformative shift. According to Global Market Insights, the spotlight is now on biopolymer coatings, a burgeoning segment that is projected to shape the future of coatings applications.
