Bayer Uses Own Coating Technology to Give HQ a Facelift
Bayer employees do not have to go far to see the advantages of Bayer MaterialScience's latest coating technology. They can just look at the recent facelift performed on Building 8 at its corporate headquarters in Pittsburgh.
The metal, glass and brick building was originally constructed in 1980, and time and the elements have taken their toll on the painted metal surfaces. Oxidation had dulled the color and in some areas harsh weather had worn away the topcoat protection. Also, the metal surfaces were scratched by growing trees and shrubs. Two additions to the building over the years had aged differently, which created several color variations on its appearance.
