This article discusses what VOCs are, where they come from, and why high-solids coatings are so good at reducing VOC emissions.

Specialized coatings have an important role to play in reducing our environmental impact – energy consumption and carbon emissions of manufacturing and operations processes can be reduced significantly.

When thinking of corrosion protection in the auto industry, it is easy to focus on rust prevention for vehicles and auto parts themselves. But it can be just as important to protect the tooling and dies used to make the auto components.

Managing color can be challenging, but with a comprehensive digital color management system in place, it is possible to achieve accurate color quickly, sustainably and cost efficiently.

People often choose powder coating for its durability, but that doesn't mean it remains resilient against all types of weather. Here are some crucial considerations about the weather and its potential impact on the powder-coated finish.

This article highlights the challenges of lead replacement and shows how modern pigment developments provide an alternative to lead chromate in coatings applications, and how the performance of lead-free formulations can be improved.

Water-based epoxy resin and curing agents have been developed that can used together as a system to provide corrosion protection coatings with low VOC content, less than 100 grams per liter.

From automotive components, oil and gas pipelines, agriculture and heavy equipment, to water and wastewater pipelines, industrial liquid coatings have become the high-performance cornerstone to provide superior corrosion protection and reliable mechanical strength.

Conversion to UV coatings allow tube manufacturers to run faster production speeds, greatly reduce their shipping costs/handling of coatings and implement a much cleaner, green, sustainable process, while delivering an improved ROI to the bottom line.

Perfectly safe and produced from an annually renewable feedstock, isosorbide has a unique combination of properties that offers excellent potential for a range of CASE applications.
