First webinar “Towards bio-based paints and coatings – Fundamentals and an introduction to the PERFECOAT project”

5 March 2024, 13.00-14.00CET, online

Inviting young researchers and PhD candidates to broaden their horizon with our upcoming webinar series on bio-based paint and coatings.

At this project stage, the PERFECOAT partners successfully developed bio-based polymers and lipids, binders, fillers, fungal pigments and dyes, as well as different additives like functional nanomaterials. These cover a variety of performance requirements like paint texture and grip, clarity, flexibility, UV resistance (no yellowing) as well as drying and curing time.

In the first webinar “Towards bio-based paints and coatings – Fundamentals and an introduction to the PERFECOAT project” international experts will introduce the basics of paint and coatings formulation and address the potential of bio-based solutions in this field. A historic overview will address paint and coating applications and discuss the performance requirements for newly developed solutions and challenges in novel applications.

Curious? Register for the first webinar with speakers:

  • Alexander Wetzel (SINTEF), PERFECOAT project-coordinator
  • Christine Louis (Evonik Coating Additives)
  • Ilker Kocabiyik (Organik Kimya)
