When developing custom coatings, there are many factors to take into account. While labs and chemists have refined their own unique approach to the process, the basic strategy remains fairly consistent. The importance of predictive modeling, combined with experimentation in both formula and process development, ensures design parameters are achieved.
The coatings industry, like many others, thrives on interconnectedness and shared value chains. By recognizing sustainability as a shared responsibility, understanding the interconnected needs throughout the value chain, and ensuring accountability, companies can drive meaningful change.
This state-of-the-art production and R&D site is the result of a $7 million investment. The new managing director has over 25 years on industry experience.
According to the announcement, the two will work in tandem to drive their individual regions’ and PPG’s overall technical strategy for packaging coatings to ensure regulatory compliance, and continued research and advancement.
Siegwerk joined the initiative with a commitment letter in 2022, and has set near- and long-term company-wide emission reductions in line with science-based net-zero with the SBTi.
This year's report includes a careful analysis of the first four forecasts, as well as emerging trends that will affect the industrial design industry for the next three to five years.
In this capacity, Doubman will lead a team of over 1,000 employees, and will be responsible for accelerating revenue growth and enhancing profitability for the company.
Cast elastomers based on PDO-sebacate polyol exhibit an excellent combination of tensile properties, abrasion resistance, thermal, hydrolytic, and solvent resistance, as well as adhesion to metal substrates. These are desirable properties for cast elastomers intended for applications as protective coatings for pipes, and coatings for sieves typically used in drilling and mining applications.
In her new role, Cynthia Baricos will oversee both the laboratory and manufacturing functions, with a goal of supporting continuous improvement and delivering top-quality industrial coating solutions to customers.
