One way to anticipate and address emerging market trends is through open innovation, and selecting the right partners for this innovation is crucial to one’s success.
Clariant is supporting the ZHAW School of Engineering in Winterthur, Switzerland, in a major R&D collaboration on-target to achieve a breakthrough in anti-freeze technology.
A new type of ceramic coating now on the market is not only completely VOC-free, but is also promising to deliver an abrasion-, corrosion-, high-temperature- and chemical-resistant finish that can be applied in a high build, single coat with no primer by a licensed contractor.
To reduce the VOCs used in PU-based coatings, Yantai Wanhua Polyurethanes Co. Ltd. developed waterborne technologies including PUD, PUA and waterborne 2K.
Self-leveling coatings based on Bayer MaterialScience LLC’s Desmophen® 1150 polyester resin and Desmodur® VL technologies are appropriate for a variety of applications requiring a seamless floor.
