According to Anders Voldsgaard Calusen, a novel type of “activated” zinc primer uses which kind of formulation:

How many types of polyurethane coatings are there?

Researchers from Columbia University have recently developed a new coating material inspired by the Saharan Silver Ant to keep buildings cool. According to physics professor Nanfang Yu and his team, the developing coating can reflect up to 99% of sunlight. Slated to require more research and testing, when do you predict the technology will be released into the market?

Researchers from the Corrosion and Coatings Engineering Branch at Naval Surface Welfare Center, Carderock Division are currently evaluating coatings that could possibly mitigate corrosion on Navy vessels. How soon do you think we could see these developing products on the market?

When and why would I need to stripe coat if I am using an edge-retention primer?

What are the criteria for selecting coatings for application during extreme (atmospheric) heat?
