Anti-corrosion coatings have become a necessity for industries to safeguard the huge investments they make in terms of money, property and safety of workers. These coatings are used extensively in industries such as marine, oil and gas, petrochemical, infrastructure, and power generation, among others. The global high-performance anti-corrosion coating market size was estimated to be USD 10.5 billion in 2018.

In this article, we report on the evaluation of microcapsule-based self-healing functionality in a range of organic zinc-rich primers with a view towards assessing potential synergies between the maintenance of the coating's adhesion to the substrate after damage afforded by the incorporation of the self-healing additive.

As a peelable resin for metal protection, this resin proves that it is possible to deliver a coating that provides the corrosion protection, scratch protection and chemical resistance of a paint, but with the easy removal of a peelable coating.

To help keep pace with the demands of modern complex building design, the research and development of fire protection has become critical. Here, Rick Perkins of Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine Coatings looks at a breakthrough and the benefits emerging for the asset owner.

The objective of the study was to develop next-generation on-line monitoring that can detect deviations from the optimum spraying conditions at an early stage, enabling prompt correction and greatly reducing product rejections and re-coating compared to the inadequate post-spray quality check.

Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTOs) are recognized as the most effective and cost-efficient way to thermally destroy the VOCs from paint processes.

PPG received three 2018 Chairman's Awards – including the top honor – from the Metal Construction Association (MCA) during the organization's winter meeting in Key Largo, Florida.

Beckers' BeckryFluor and BeckryFlon, which were used to give the Novotel Hotel its unique hue-changing color and the protective topcoat, provide a plethora of benefits when applied to architectural surfaces.

Some of Mexico's largest commercial properties are being built and refurbished for the ages with the help of Textured Coatings of America, Inc.

The 262-foot Limmat Tower is regarded as the centerpiece of one of Dietikon, Switzerland's newer districts, Limmatfeld. And its coated with a coating system from Beckers.
