In this issue of ipcm^®, one of the topics tackled is sustainability within surface and finishing treatments. The development of both safer and greener technologies and products enable finishing operations to be completed more ecologically than ever before. On the finished product side, finishing processes attribute specific functionality to surfaces and structures, which in turn have less impact on the environment, and are able to extend its life cycle. Finishing is not just a color: in this edition of ipcm^®, contains a special section regarding aluminum & design - technical articles, news and case studies offer an interesting overview of the possibilities offered by surface treatments to work sustainably and to create sustainability.
