Advancements in coating technologies, from self-healing paints to solvent-free formulations, are shaping the future of sustainable, high-performance applications.
A leading tube producer transitioned to UV coatings, eliminating VOCs while achieving faster production speeds, reduced remediation costs and enhanced environmental compliance.
Researchers developed a superhydrophobic textile coating from discarded fabrics — a promising alternative to fluorinated finishes in apparel applications.
Demand for man-made lagoons is rising, highlighting the durability of aliphatic polyurea-based linings for long-term waterproofing and structural integrity.
The University of South Florida reduced cooling costs and improved energy efficiency by applying a heat-reflective exterior coating that lowers building surface temperatures by up to 40 °F.
A new thermal additive enhances energy efficiency and fire resistance, reducing heat absorption, improving emissivity, and meeting stringent environmental and building performance standards.
Self-leveling coatings offer high-build, durable solutions for concrete floors, addressing issues like uneven surfaces, water pooling and abrasion resistance.
The UV-curable coatings market is poised for growth, driven by sustainability trends, UV LED curing innovations, and applications in automotive and electronics, among other drivers.
This article discusses new developments in water-based UV-curable polyurethanes that offer much-improved 50 °C paint stability in clear, as well as pigmented coatings. It also discusses how these resins address the desired attributes of the coating applicator in increasing line speed through fast water release, improved block resistance, and solvent resistance off the line.
