Nansulate coatings to shield a
U.S. nuclear power plant
Industrial Nanotech, Inc., has made its
rst sale to a nuclear power facility in the
United States of its patented nanotechnology-based insulation and protective coating line, Nansulate. The coatings provide
effective, weathering resistant thermal insulation as well as valuable protective performance qualities including corrosion
prevention, moisture and UV resistance,
and lead encapsulation, which is an issue
when decommissioning nuclear facilities
said the company.

population energy needs. Our thermal insulation coatings are being used to insulate equipment to reduce heat loss and
increase energy efciency in existing nuclear facilities.
Additionally, there is a need for lead
abatement in facilities that are being decommissioned, said Crolley. Nansulate
coatings provide cost effective thermal insulation properties that stand up well to extreme environments, as well as the ability
to easily encapsulate lead contaminated
surfaces for environmental remediation. We
have already begun initial projects in the
U.S. with facilities using our nanotechnology-based products. Power generation facilities, including nuclear, coal, oil and gas,
wind, wave, and solar will continue to be a
market focus of ours this year to expand
the foot print of sustainable nanotechnology and the benets it can offer for energy
efcient power generation.
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates the world commercial nuclear generating gross capacity could increase
from 2005 levels by 35 percent in 2015
and by 70 percent in 2030 (U.S. Department of Energy, 2006.). Of approximately 439 nuclear power plants that
currently operate in thirty countries, the
United States, France and Japan operate
about half. Currently, an additional 33
plants are in the process of being constructed with another 94 planned, and

International Paint has introduced Intersmooth 7465Si SPC and Interswift 6900Si
silyl acrylate antifouling coatings.
Aiming to improve and enhance customer choice, International says it is the
rst and only global manufacturer to offer
both copper acrylate and silyl acrylate antifouling coatings within a comprehensive
range of fouling control technologies.
In 2006, International Paint patented
silyl acrylate technology for use with
products of less than 400g/l VOC. This
technology is incorporated into Intersmooth 7465Si SPC and Interswift 6900Si
and allows delivery of the same high levels of proven in-service performance as the
current Intersmooth 7460/5HS SPC and
Interswift 6800HS copper acrylate antifouling coatings.
Both new silyl products have solvent
emission levels of less than 400g/l VOC.
Designed for deep sea vessels at newbuilding and maintenance and repair, Intersmooth 7465Si SPC features 55
percent volume solids. Compared to
lower volume solids products, this results in shipyard benefits of faster application, reduced wastage and pail
consumption and lower solvent emissions to the atmosphere. Reduced overspray leads to lower contamination
levels in dock and reduced applicator exposure. For the vessel operator, the product
delivers
predictable,
high
performance fouling control for up to 90
months and its inherent self-smoothing
action potentially reduces fuel use by
four percent, cutting operational costs,
lowering carbon dioxide emissions and
improving vessel operating image said
the company.
Interswift
6900Si
incorporates
patented silyl acrylate polymer technology.
Also designed for vessels at newbuilding
and maintenance and repair, the product
offers 61 percent volume solids, surface
tolerance and in-service periods of up to
60 months with potential fuel savings of
1.5 percent said the company.

n the face of it the outlook in Europe
for OEM automobile coatings looks
grim at the moment.
The region is estimated to have a 20 percent
overcapacity in car manufacturing so that plant
closures are seen to be sooner or later inevitable.
PSA Peugeot Citroen of France, which
made an operating loss last year, and OpelVauxhall, the European business of General
Motors, appeared in February to be on the
brink of forging an alliance in the region,
which analysts say could lead to at least two
plants being shut down.
Fiat of Italy, which lost 500 million ($665
million) in 2011 is also under pressure to close
uneconomical capacity.
Automobile sales in the European Union
have still not recovered from the 2008 nancial
crisis. Last years car registrations in the EU
were at the same level of 1997 and around 2.5
million below that of 2007.
However in the longer term prospects for automobile coatings in Europe are much healthier
than they would appear to be from sales and
overcapacity gures.

emerging markets, increasing urbanization, climate change and the limited availability of fossil fuels require new concepts
with regard to sustainability and energy
efciency.
BASF is working to develop functional
materials and solutions that will contribute to the vehicles of the future
whether for cars with classical internal
combustion engines, hybrid drives or electric ones, according to Russell.
In conjunction with the trends mentioned above, coatings solutions from
BASF are designed to help improve the
productivity and environmental performance of carmakers. For example, BASF introduced the environmentally friendly
cathodic e-coatings CathoGuard 800 and
900 product lines. Cathodic e-coating,
which is the rst paint layer applied to a
body, forms the basis for perfect automotive surfaces, said Russell. It protects the
cars surfaces, edges and cavities from corrosion. The innovative new paints also
contain less than one percent solvents.
Also on the technology front BASF

and Strodex phosphate ester surfactants (PES), which help
meet these customer needs.
Environmental regulations have been the impetus for the inux of green products being offered to formulators of paint
and coatings. Facing both regulatory pressure and consumer demand, coatings manufacturers need to offer products that offer
the best of both worlds: the same high quality and surface characteristics as those historically offered, and green attributes, such
as low VOCs, said Colon To help coatings manufacturers
achieve these goals, additives suppliers such as Troy are focusing
more on multifunctional additives, that is, single additive products that accomplish the tasks of several additives.
For instance, Troys Z line of performance additives, many
of which are multifunctional, is engineered specically for low
VOC, APE-free coatings systems in which compliance and maximum coating performance are imperative, said Colon. Troys
multifunctional additives enhance multiple coating properties,
including surface wetting, improved adhesion, surface ow and
leveling, color development, surface slip and defoaming.

Performance Matters
Developing environmentally compliant products that meet
performance requirements is a constant challenge for surfactant manufacturers.
Regulations in this area can increase the formulating challenge for stability, said Stewart. Weve anticipated these challenges and were working closely with our customers to deploy
the solutions to help them successfully address the new regulations balanced with their performance objectives. As a result,
were seeing much greater optimization of formulations that
maintain performance within these more stringent requirements.
The new regulations are driving the industry to rethink formulation strategy, which in turn, is driving adoption of new surfactants and other additive technologies and product offerings.

Final Coat
The Metropolitan New York Coatings Association (MNYCA) recently held a workshop on Social Media and the Coatings
industry. The workshop provided a
forum for professionals involved with the
coatings industry to learn the benets of
using social media, such as Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin, as well as tools for
optimizing a companys website and
search engine results.
According to MNYCA, in 2009, 59
percent of the network users in the United
States had created a social network prole. Facebook alone had 750 million
members as of August 2011. This presents
a huge opportunity for companies to get
their message out.
The workshop featured three speakers
well versed in the ins and outs of developing a social media platform to best suit
a business.
Andrew DellAglio, regional sales
manager of Yellowbook360, began the
workshop with a presentation focused
on the changes and advancements that
the Internet brings to local business
owners. He outlined the various New
Media products that are available for
local business owners.
Matt Koenig, a regional manager of
Yellowbook360, gave a presentation on
print and interactive online marketing.
The primary focus of his presentation was
on how small- and medium-sized businesses can attract the most potential customers. Koenig offered his expertise on
effective web design and the role of search
