Protective coatings in the focus of the February issue
Facing wind and weather, protective coatings – which are this month focus topic – have to withstand tough conditions. Looking at the market, the conditions are, however, rather favourable as you can read in our market report from page 12. The issue is now available in European Coatings 360°.
Asia-Pacific is among the biggest growth drivers, a development underlined by the VOC regulation which triggers research in water-borne formulations. How legislation is affecting the development of epoxy paints is also in the focus of our technical focus paper. Dr Martin Gerlitz of Huntsman Advanced Materials discusses how REACH requirements drive research from page 18.
Another regulation keeping the coatings industry at its toes is a possible classification of titanium dioxide. Read our interviews with Didier Leroy, Technical Director of CEPE (page 28) and Tom Bowtell of the CEPE TiO2 Media Task Force (page 30) on what is ahead and what are the association’s next steps.
