 Independent corrosion tests have shown this is a successful conductive polymer-based anti-corrosion coating technology and the first non-chromate coating that has out-performed hexavalent chromate coatings. 

New products are being developed to meet the challenge of delivering low- and zero-VOC offerings, including specialty resins, coalescents/plasticizers, water-based and energy curable colorants, foam control and silicone products.

CERAM-A-STAR® E is a new solution with proven durability and ease of application that meets American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) 2604 specifications. Designed for the high-end residential, storefront and monumental interiors market, this product offers a lower-cost alternative to 50 percent PVDF and super-durable polyester powders.

NEI has developed a chromate-free conversion coating for magnesium alloys that independently provides exceptional corrosion resistance and also improves adhesion with an overlying paint layer (primer).

Through the “Sustainable Future” program, Dow is demonstrating economically viable options for GHG mitigation in Russia, and building understanding and capacity locally on how to reduce emissions far beyond the footprint of the Olympic Games.

Outstanding chemistry makes solar flight possible

One of a paint formulator’s constant concerns is to find ways to reduce TiO2 content.

A new 2K epoxy-fortified resin system has been developed that reaches full performance in 3 days.
