Focus on Sustainability has Powder Coatings Poised for Growth in the U.S.
The driver behind the impressive growth of powder coatings can be attributed to their environmentally friendly profile, combined with exceptional performance characteristics. Looking forward, powder coatings are projected for continued above-market growth, with most reports claiming a global CAGR of 5.2-6.2% through 2028 (and the U.S. market to be on the higher end of the growth range). What is driving this high CAGR in the U.S.?
Next-Generation Adhesives for Wind Turbine Blades
As the global wind energy industry continues to evolve, how will adhesive bonding adapt? Adhesives are a critical contributor to the structural load-bearing performance of the final wind blade assembly. They are therefore subject to long qualifications at blade manufacturers. The current turbine blade bonding technology may be completely reshaped by three opportunities: raw material availability, blade recyclability, and the evolution of blade designs.

Formulating with Flexibility
More than any single piece of lab equipment, a successful R&D team’s most vital tool is a flexibility mindset. Market demands continue to push developers and formulators to stretch the boundaries of what is achievable. In addition, customers are creative and don’t always evaluate or use products in the way they were originally intended.
WEBINAR: Safety First! Best Practices in Environmental, Health and Safety
“Safety First! Best Practices in Environmental, Health and Safety” is the final webinar in our four-part Operational and Manufacturing Excellence series, in partnership with the American Coatings Association. Topics covered include EPA and OSHA compliance and operation procedures, as well as hazardous waste, air and water emissions, process safety, personal protective equipment, emergency response, hazard communications, and more.
Adhesives and Sealants: Enabling Sustainable Change
Considering the global megatrend that sustainability has become, the adhesive industry had a bit of a head start. After all, natural materials like tree sap were used as the earliest adhesives known to man, and starches have provided renewable options for adhesive formulations in packaging applications for decades. In addition, hot melts have long represented a significant segment of the adhesive industry; as 100% solids materials, they are inherently quite sustainable. The early shift away from solventborne formulations is another significant example.
