Nanotechnology is rapidly gaining recognition to significantly benefit for the coatings industry
Nanotechnology is rapidly gaining recognition as having the potential to provide significant benefits for the coatings industry. The most publicized benefits include scratch resistance, UV protection and weathering protection. In addition to improved coating performance, nanotechnology also provides benefits, such as reduced energy and reduced material consumption. Nanoparticles including metal oxides, clays and resins dominate the market for nanotechnology-based coatings. Newer carbon based nanotubes are now being developed for use in transparent conductive coatings and low weight, high strength coatings.Read More …
