Sustainable Coating Technologies

---

Environmental impact in the coatings industry is a growing concern, particularly regarding volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous materials. Research emphasizes the development of low-VOC formulations and bio-based materials to reduce harmful emissions. Sustainable coating practices focus on improving material utilization and adopting safer alternatives to minimize the environmental footprint. Advances in eco-friendly technologies and compliance with regulations and industry standards foster responsible innovation, ensuring coatings contribute to both performance and sustainability in various industries. Water-repellent properties are also key to enhancing coatings used in wastewater management, preventing contamination, and improving overall sustainability
