The coatings industry is undergoing a transformative shift driven by global sustainability goals, tighter regulatory demands and increased consumer preferences for eco-friendly products.

The world's first 3D, form-free, industrially applicable and commercially viable crystal glass-pigment technology solves the technical challenges for incorporation in high-end color coating systems. These perfectly round crystal glass-microsphere dispersions provide increased visibility and detectability, while still maintaining the high-end thin-layer finish required by the automotive and wider-mobility industry.

Assembled into photonic crystals, brush block co-polymers have demonstrated utility in creating coatings with ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared reflectivity, radar transparency, and the potential to reduce the carbon footprint of performance coatings by up to 50%. One company has set a course to launch a structural color co-polymer based on this unique technology.

A specialty chemicals and minerals supplier offers a case study to compare its novel architectural colorants to industry-standard colorants. Utilizing tests such as viscosity drop, blocking resistance, open time, and base compatibility, these colorants deliver superior performance, an extended shelf life, and offer global compliance, while showcasing their low-VOC and high-pigment-loading capabilities.

The new facility serves the growing APAC region demand, and complements Penn Color’s Technology Center in Singapore, which opened in January.

The new range of colorants is designed for use in a number of products, and targeted primarily at industrial users and paint brands.
