Nanotechnology Enables Breakthrough Coatings With Improved Resistance to Chipping, Scratching and Water Spotting
There is a constant effort among leading companies to identify ways to protect coatings from damage from the elements and from chipping, spotting or scratching.
While modest improvements have been made to coatings through conventional methods and materials, such efforts have yet to provide a compelling technological advance. Recent developments in nanotechnology are increasingly being evaluated and adopted to enable advanced coatings, as evidenced by the successful demonstration of such breakthroughs by PPG Industries using NanoProducts' PüreNanoTM family of nanoscale materials. PPG is the world's largest producer of transportation coatings and a leading global provider of industrial and packaging coatings, aircraft transparencies, flat and fabricated glass, specialty chemicals, and architectural coatings.
