For several decades - and increasingly so - legislation and opinion trends have brought about remarkable, successful upheavals in the chemistry and technology of paints and other coating materials: Today, waterborne coatings, powder coatings and radiation-curing and ultra-low-solvent materials already dominate, complemented by technological innovations to save resources such as energy, water and other raw materials.
