Akzo Nobel unlocks a more sustainable way of making paints and coatings

摘要

A world of possibilities for paints and coatings has been unlocked by research being conducted by Akzo Nobel, in collaboration with the Dutch Advanced Research Center Chemical Building Blocks Consortium (ARC CBBC). The innovation involves the development of a more sustainable way of making resins, which could pave the way for the introduction of futuristic functionality - such as intelligent paint that uses controlled release of active ingredients, or the ability to add new functionality during the lifetime of a coating.
