The paint industry has entered into an era of continuous enhancement of chemistry from various perspectives, including customer requirements, costs, environment, durability and reach. It is always challenging for research and development teams to create ecofriendly paints with acceptable cost and product performance. Every year, several formulations are edited, and products are enhanced. Formulations in our industry have changed more rapidly in the past decade than ever before. The process of change results in several batches, raw materials and stock items that need to be replaced with newer ingredients. The more we evolve into newer formulations, the more we encounter raw material and stock inventory that is no longer usable to the industry. Batch failures and obsolete raw materials are a by-product of product changes in the evolving paint and coatings industry.
