Today there are various companies involved in the production of commercially available icephobic coatings. This article lists many of them, along with details on the coatings' technology and applications.

Because of the performance capabilities of the new water-based acrylic polymer primers and their applicability to nearly all substrates, paint manufacturers have an opportunity to consolidate their primer inventory and provide their customers with a solution for the most challenging corrosive environments.

This research aims to create a surface coating with a relatively low surface energy value that can repel the spike glycoprotein, and also through the use of active chemicals, inactivate the spike glycoprotein as well as viral nucleotides in the coronavirus.

SLIPS Foul Protect N1x has successfully demonstrated the pathway to reducing marine fouling with a non-toxic, environmentally friendly approach combining the smooth and slippery liquid-based surface (Physical module) and highly branched amphiphilic SAPs (Chemical module).

Recent energy-curable resin developments respond to the increasing demand for suitable oligomers for coatings on plastics in different segments such as consumer electronics, cosmetic packaging and automotive interiors for different specifications and aesthetic requirements.

This article describes an alkali copper aluminoborophosphosilicate glass ceramic material that acts as a sustainable delivery system for Cu+1 ions with high antimicrobial efficacy.

The technology being developed to protect the steelwork used in many of Britain's modern buildings allows architects to design freely, safe in the knowledge that their projects will be compliant as well as creative. Rick Perkins of Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine Coatings looks at a major breakthrough in intumescent fire protection coatings.

To maximize equipment life and safe production, innovative Chemically Bonded Phosphate Ceramic coatings provide durable protection from atmospheric and chemical corrosion.

Specialty chemicals are used throughout many industries, including coatings. PCI recently asked Jonathan Craig, Vice President Specialty Chemicals at Ascend Performance Materials, to discuss these performance products and the current state of the market.

Many of the new modern buildings being designed for major cities worldwide are increasingly incorporating the use of complex steel structures. Rick Perkins of Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine Coatings looks at a major breakthrough for passive fire protection of these structures and benefits for contractors working in this industry.
