The research team focuses on improving long-term performance and developing sustainable coatings for high-voltage insulation systems for electric power transmission in the State of Qatar and the Gulf region.

A new category of durable, high-tech, all-epoxy coating is dramatically increasing traction and improving safety in a wide range of slip and fall prone areas such as production floors, warehouse space, loading docks, platforms, ramps, and more.

Pest control coatings are truly innovative. By targeting a crawling pest’s inability to climb a smooth surface, a physical barrier around a home can be created with a coating.

Moving to more environmentally benign monomers is essential for the continuation of a highly beneficial relationship with polymers. This shift creates an opportunity to simultaneously access new property profiles. New polyols synthesized using a high-purity isosorbide illustrate what is possible. 

Internal combustion engines (ICEs) are falling out of fashion to make way for battery electric vehicles (BEVs). Many components, including battery packs and power conversion parts, should have coatings to increase the car’s longevity, and to help with the issues BEV batteries bring. Creative solutions are coming out of the industry to help maintain BEVs for longer. 

Ecurie Bertelli, the pre-war Aston Martin specialist, and HMG Paints, a United Kingdom-based independent paint manufacturer, have combined their market leading knowledge for a one-of-a-kind project conserving a 1934 Aston Martin MKII. The team at HMG Paints developed a special stabilizing and sealing solution that allowed the team to seal the worn paintwork and prevent further degradation.

The payoffs could be substantial if you’re thinking about designing a robotic paint booth for use in the automotive manufacturing sector. Adding robots into the workflow could lead to greater efficiency, better overall quality, and more. This technology can also increase a facility’s scalability, which is good news if an automaker struggles with frequent demand fluctuations.

A leading paint company discusses how they identify color trends and translate them into relevant color palettes and products that meet customers’ needs.

If you want your structure to have the best fire resistance possible, you’ll want to give intumescent paints serious consideration. Intumescent paints are easy to apply, nice to look at, and can stop a fire in its tracks. This article about how intumescent paint works and some of the industry ratings you’ll need to know if you’re thinking of using intumescent paints on your structure.

The number of coatings options available to end users may appear boundless, but it pales in comparison to the factors that suppliers and manufacturers must consider when developing goods including performance, appearance, protection, cost-effectiveness, and environmental compliance.
