17-19 April 2023 in Essen, Germany
The PERFECOAT team gathered for a 3-days meeting in Essen, Germany.
The consortium enjoyed a very fruitful and intense project and general assembly meeting. We discussed the most promising paths towards our bio-based paint and coating ingredients. Especially the development of binders shows various promising paths like alginate and POSS. Other ingredients have turned out to be more challenging.
Still, the project is already able to celebrate success stories like the innovative fungal red pigments developed by Chromologics.
Besides a workshop on binder design at the Remmers facility, the partners also had the opportunity to see how their ingredients perform in formulations and how the final paint and coating applications are tested.
Thanks to our project partners Evonik and Remmers for hosting the meeting and sharing the lab experience!
