The United States has increased the use of solar and wind power for electricity production. The U.S. Department of Energy claims that preserving your panels' surface with a glass coating can boost the photoelectric effect by up to 3-6%, therefore boosting potential demand in the glass coatings market. 

Employers have a duty of care to protect the health, safety, and welfare of employees, so it is vitally important to keep workers’ occupational exposure to harmful gases within permissible limits. For this reason, providing highly accurate sensors that are reliable is a must. 

The utilization of hydrophilic coatings offers numerous advantages, including enhanced biocompatibility, lubricity, durability, corrosion resistance, and antifouling properties. This type of coating is used across diverse industries, including medical devices, automotive, aerospace, marine, optical, and consumer goods.

Bio-based coatings encompass a broad product category. They use natural resources such as essential oils, foods, and forest products to perform comparably to those typically derived from fossil fuels. This article discusses bio-based materials in the coatings market and offers insights about future developments. 

Whether it’s a wide, flat surface, a tangle of nooks and crannies, or anything in between, complicated projects need reimagined solutions. The new technology offers unexpected precision and puts the painter in charge.

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings are characterized by their high wear, abrasion, and corrosion resistance. This article discusses DLC coatings types, mechanical properties, coefficient of friction, surface properties, electrical properties, corrosion resistance properties, and uses. 

Nippon Paint Marine's unique biocide-free self-polishing coating was applied to the RIVIERA, a luxury cruise ship operated by Oceania Cruises.

The challenge for the resort’s designers and architects was to find a powder coating that could protect aluminum surfaces and girders in a climate of extreme heat and corrosive salt spray from the coast, and with a finish that would complement the warm terracotta tones of Dubai’s landscape. Read about the solution. 

On the coast, painted walls tend to fade faster, are pummeled with wind-driven rain, are exposed to salt around the clock, and are breeding grounds for bio-growth like algae and fungus. One seven-story Destin, Florida, resort nestled between Choctawhatchee Bay and the Gulf of Mexico was looking for a fresh update but wanted more longevity for its money.
