Wanhua Chemical showcases sustainable coatings innovations, including biobased materials, solvent-free technologies, and advanced resins, isocyanates, and inks—driving efficiency through AI-assisted R&D and smart manufacturing systems.

Advancements in coating technologies, from self-healing paints to solvent-free formulations, are shaping the future of sustainable, high-performance applications.

Water-based DTM coatings present unique formulation challenges, requiring innovative resin and additive combinations to enhance adhesion, corrosion resistance and durability.

From surprise launches to behind-the-booth insights, here’s what caught our attention at the recent European Coatings Show.

While environmental and health concerns have driven the development and adoption of water-based and 100% solids coatings solutions, solvent-based coatings remain indispensable in many architectural, industrial and protective applications. 

This study evaluates waterborne polyurethane and polyacrylate resins with water-dispersible polyisocyanates to enhance corrosion resistance, durability and coating performance on metal substrates.

The coatings industry faces rising sustainability challenges, but innovation is driving solutions — from PFAS-free alternatives to low-carbon raw materials and regulatory-driven advancements.

ATO-based antistatic coatings outperform PEDOT and fluorinated additives, offering PFAS-free protection and superior stability, especially in PSAs for LCD polarizers to prevent static discharge.

Advancements in low-temperature-cure powder coatings explore challenges in formulation, manufacturing limitations, and innovative solutions for improved efficiency and performance.
