Green Chemistry and Green Engineering.
This issue of ipcm® delves into the topics of Green Chemistry and Green Engineering: we talk about innovation in raw materials for paints and coatings; investments made by chemical companies to strengthen their R&D labs to pursue sustainable innovation; and robotics and automation to simplify operational processes and material management.
We also talk about the implementation of digital systems and machines to maximise process and consumption control; a pioneering application in the powder coatings industry where the latest versions of safety data sheets, analysis bulletins, and even one's own coating warehouse situation are just a click away at any time; and a 3D scanning system for powder coating to optimise the finish and process quality of complex-shaped parts.
But, above all, we talk about how important the human factor is in all this.
