Solvent-free performance creates an opening, but cost, appearance and established liquid-coating infrastructure continue to limit adoption.

Supply chain, R&D, formulation and color matching are among the use cases, but security, accuracy and governance remain significant barriers.

From EVs to digital infrastructure, electrical applications are creating new performance demands and opportunities for powder coating technologies.

Primer, basecoat, KSL/KSP and clearcoat choices drive adhesion, corrosion resistance and Class A finish.

Fusion-bonded epoxy powder coatings continue to serve as a durable, sustainable barrier protecting buried and subsea pipelines from corrosion.

Custom test methods, tailored to field conditions, address limitations of standardized tests, improving coating performance with practical solutions for real-world applications.

Innovative raw materials are essential for addressing challenges in coatings development. Two customer case studies focus on raw materials’ ability to enhance performance in corrosion and abrasion resistance applications.
