Advanced coating solutions for energy-efficient and low-impact architecture
Join us for an in‑depth exploration of how next‑generation architectural coatings are shaping the future of sustainable building design. As cities grow and energy demands rise, advanced coatings now play a crucial role in reducing heat load, improving durability, and lowering the environmental footprint of buildings.
Featured Presentation by Dr. Peter Greenwood:
Colloidal silica and expandable microspheres in sustainable surface protection
Dr. Peter Greenwood will share new findings on how water-based colloidal silica and expandable microspheres enhance acrylic elastomeric cool roof coatings. The combination improves key surface properties, including dirt pick‑up resistance, while helping the coatings remain flexible, adhesive and durable under harsh temperature swings and sun exposure.
Join the presentation on March 10, 2 p.m.

Featured applications for paints and coatings
-
Architectural paints
Discover our portfolio of thickeners, stabilizers, water retaining agents, lightweight fillers and more for decorative paints and coatings.
-
Industrial coatings
Levasil® colloidal silica for durable metal coatings that shield steel and prevent corrosion and to reduce magnetic losses in insulation coatings.
-
Automotive coatings and body fillers
Expancel® microspheres are used as a blowing agent in plastisols, for underbody coatings and sealants and for lightweight body fillers with improved sandability.
-
Cool roof coatings
Expancel® microspheres are optimal for developing flexible cool roof coatings and Levasil® colloidal silica enhances the anti-soiling properties.
-
Inks and pigments
Expancel® microspheres in printing inks lets you create surface effects on textiles and more. We also offer dispersing agents and products for emulsification.
-
Sealants and adhesives
Use our Thioplast® polysulfide resins, Expancel® microspheres and Levasil® colloidal silica for improved performance in sealants and adhesives.
