Tennant Company, a world leader in designing, manufacturing and marketing solutions that help create a cleaner, safer, healthier world, announces the launch of the floor care industry’s first known sustainable urethane floor coatings that are 50 percent soy plant-based and specifically designed for manufacturing, industrial and warehousing facilities.

Some of the most remarkable new coatings, like color-changing and smog-eating coatings, are applied to metal using the highly advanced continuous coil coating process.

If additive-free plastic materials cannot or can only poorly be bonded or coated in spite of a clean surface, this is most probably due to their low polarity and the resultant low surface energy.

As the U.S. economy falters, new opportunities continue to emerge in international markets for ArmorThane, Inc. This manufacturer and distributor of protective coating products and equipment has sold limited amounts to other countries for a number of years.

Corroding rebar in deteriorating concrete is often the cause of costly repairs, financial losses, injuries and deaths, but Cortec® has a corrosion solution called MCI® 2005.

Demand is increasing for rich, classic black coatings for high-end products, particularly in consumer electronics such as computers and televisions; premium household products including countertop appliances, bath and kitchen fixtures; automotive interior and exterior accents and accessories; and in large coating services and electroplating operations.

ITRI (Industrial Technology Research Institute), Taiwan’s largest and a leading global high-tech research and development institution, has introduced Spray-IT™, an eco-friendly thermal spray coating for use on glass and building material to lower energy costs.

Unearthed Paints, a fresh new natural paint company brings a new vision and sustainable reinterpretations to the paint industry with its selection of eco-friendly paints.

The cost of corrosion is estimated to be at least $276 billion per year in the United States alone.

Cortec's VpCI®-337 is a ready-to-use, water-based vapor-phase corrosion inhibitor for protection in virtually any situation.
