The epoxy resin market size was estimated at USD 11.85 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 12.65 billion in 2024. At a CAGR of 6.76%, it is expected to reach USD 18.74 billion by 2030. The development of the epoxy resin market faces several limitations and challenges, such as volatility of raw material prices, stringent environmental regulations, and sensitivity to external conditions.
Carbon fiber composite material use is growing in sectors such as aerospace, wind power generation, automotive, and sports/leisure applications. Although corrosion and fatigue resistant, there is less known about the aging resistance of these materials. This study examines the commonly used ultraviolet absorbers, hindered amine light stabilizers, and a novel composite light stabilizer additive to get a better understanding of the weather resistance of carbon fiber composite materials in the industry.
As the aerospace (AS) industry pushes for next-generation surface coating technologies to protect materials exposed to harsh air and space environments, coatings manufacturers dive deep to provide higher-performing coatings. The addition of additives to both existing and emerging technologies provides coating manufacturers with a path to innovate for these modern and changing times.
The company partnered with researchers at the University of Queensland to develop a polymer coating that is designed to fight the spread of bacteria and viruses.
The facility provides filling and packaging capabilities for aerospace materials, including coatings and sealants for a wide range of aircraft, as well as technical support and a laboratory.
Nycote Laboratories Corporation explains how it uses its well-qualified, proven coating technology as a platform to add new performance features that solve present and future problems for the aerospace industry and more.
As Vice President, Aerospace Coatings, Sam Millikin will lead the global strategic business and succeed Daniel G. Korte, current Senior Vice President, PPG Aerospace Coatings, who has announced his intent to retire in the second quarter 2024.
This achievement comes at a pivotal moment in the industry, as looming bans on per- and polyfluoroalkyl subtances (PFAS) are driving significant changes in the coatings landscape.
