Sustainability Meets Protective Coatings – How Additives Boost The Performance of Modern Protective Coatings

Providing long-lasting performance in protective coatings and therefore contributing to a more sustainable future by protecting steel constructions, lead to further development of those coating systems in recent times. The trend towards water-based products but also low-solvent or solvent-free coatings is one of the most important drivers. This development leads to new requirements regarding additive performance. In this presentation it will be shown what challenges must be faced and how newest additive solutions can boost the performance of modern protective coatings.
