Calls for climate-responsive architecture are growing as weather patterns become more extreme and unpredictable. Learn how coatings may be able to play a role. 

Rep. Lisa McClain visited Allied UV’s Michigan facility to discuss challenges and opportunities in U.S. manufacturing.

Protective coatings and engineering ingenuity come together to preserve the Grand Canyon West Skywalk — 4,000 feet above the canyon floor.

PPG’s fluoropolymer powder coatings play a key role in finishing the complex, large-scale Lyrik Back Bay development over Boston’s I-90 corridor.

Barrier strength, conductivity and thinner layers? Graphene is helping coatings do more with less.

The 2025 RadTech Annual Winter Meeting covered key developments in photoinitiators, FDA regulations, life cycle assessments, and sustainability initiatives for UV/EB technologies.

Dürr's new return system enables VOC-free color changes for two-component clear coats, reducing emissions, cycle times and paint booth costs.

The new coatings use an electron beam or ultra-violet energy to convert a liquid coating into a fully cured solid finish in seconds, without any significant loss of thickness or weight.

Energy-cure coatings are expected to produce revolutionary changes in coil-centered industries, such as building materials, appliances, and HVAC. These advancements will raise the bar for more sustainable, energy-efficient, high-performance solutions, including formulations that offer durability for exterior applications and broader gloss ranges.

"In 2024, the RadTech Board and membership will continue educational efforts to not only encourage the development of new materials, processes, and applications, but to better inform policy makers, regulators, and the general public about the importance of UV+EB to advanced, responsible manufacturing," said Michael Gould, RadTech President, RAHN USA.
