A technical look at high-performance ceramic coatings, spotlighting nanotechnology, self-healing systems and sustainable formulations shaping automotive and aerospace applications worldwide.

A new carboxylic-functional ultramatte binder for 2K coatings enhances durability, self-healing and environmental performance, offering a breakthrough in matte coating technology.

Many of today’s products must withstand near-constant use or exposure to the weather. Self-healing paints and coatings are still a relatively niche area of study, but it’s easy to see the widespread appeal. This article highlights the abundant practical applications for formulators and companies to explore. 

As the aerospace (AS) industry pushes for next-generation surface coating technologies to protect materials exposed to harsh air and space environments, coatings manufacturers dive deep to provide higher-performing coatings. The addition of additives to both existing and emerging technologies provides coating manufacturers with a path to innovate for these modern and changing times.

According to the report, the need for sustainable manufacturing solutions is driving the growing market interest in self-healing materials, polymers, and coatings.

Scientists at the School of Packaging at Michigan State University have developed a novel approach for creating commercially feasible hybrid coating technology capable of self-healing along with omniophobic features.
