Researchers from Bayreuth University developed an upcycling process that transforms aluminum-plastic composite films, used in household items like chip bags, into energy-saving films using polymer coatings. Do you believe this type of household-based upcycling is the future of sustainable coatings?

Earlier this year, researchers transformed a crude oil byproduct, asphaltene, into graphene for thermal, anti-corrosion and 3D printing applications. Do you believe resources recycled from this process could yield other useful coating materials?

For st.2/st.3 prepared surfaces like luffing crane refurbishment in marine c5, environmental condition can extend warranties, or any standard guideline or in-meeting specific criteria warranty can be offered. Paint manufacturers sometimes do offer, but is there any set guideline for them?
