This article demonstrates two separate methods for achieving burnish-resistant coatings: amine functional silica, which fits easily into existing manufacturing processes; and polysiloxane/silica dispersion, which requires a more complicated process to manufacture.

Human stewardship of the Earth is undergoing a metamorphosis—and for very good reasons. The planet is getting hotter, and the situation is getting worse. How can the paint industry, whose products literally cover the Earth, re-engineer its products and processes toward a more sustainable future?

The textile coatings market is witnessing substantial growth. Technological advancements are driving the demand for textile coatings in various end-use industries such as transportation, building and construction, protective clothing, industrial, medical, and other industries.

Using coatings and composites can revolutionize the maritime industry by simultaneously reducing capital expenditure and greenhouse gas emissions. In a case study to reduce propellor cavitation, a super metal coating was used to build up the worst affected areas, and then a super metal glide coating was brush applied to provide overall protection.

A textured epoxy coating for rebar can offer increased bond strength, damage tolerance, and corrosion resistance for both horizontal and vertical concrete projects. 

Using this predictive tool can raise the certainty on vessel performance and provide greater confidence on economic and sustainable value achieved through the operational cycle, which is a key challenge for the industry while regulations are driving higher efficiency.

Read about a full turn-key solution to combat corrosion under insulation on an ammonium-sulphate feed tank. Within the space of 24 hours, the tank was repaired and protected against future corrosion with an industrial composite wrap system.

Wherever different paint colors are applied in small quantities, such as in the construction, woodworking, plastics or automotive supplier industries, a paint supply system that targets sustainable production processes and resource efficiency can help recover unused paint, minimizing rinsing agent consumption and speeding up color changes.

According to Persistence Market Research's projections, the global marine coatings market is expected to surge ahead at a CAGR of 8.2% through 2033.This article delves into the significance of marine coatings, their composition, application methods, and the latest advancements aimed at enhancing protection and performance in the maritime industry.

This case study takes a deep dive into how a Dubai-based company was tasked with providing a durable protective lining for the shoreline and walkways of one of the largest man-made lagoons in Dubai; how they met demanding project specifications, ranging from the need for a highly durable solution, meeting tight project deadlines, through to how they delivered a finish with aesthetic appeal.
