Green Paint Formulating
Northern Illinois University spin-off company, ChemNova Technologies, uses chemistry on the nano scale to create earth-friendly paint formulations for metal substrates, which is ideal for industrial coatings applications. ...
... "ChemNova adapts green chemistry principles and uses nanoscale approaches to develop innovative coating technologies and products. In the green chemistry paint formulations, ChemNova has developed and patented and is working to market a chrome-free single-step in-situ phosphatizing / silicating coating (ISPC) technology. The one-step coating process uses a chemical bond to enhance paint adhesion to metal surfaces and inhibit substrate corrosion. ChemNova focuses on the ISPC process, which eliminates the need for potentially toxic chromating baths and other high-waste procedures found in more traditional coating methods. " ...
