Improved Service Life Prediction and Test Capability for Wood Coatings (SERVOWOOD)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,
"The paints, coatings and varnishes manufacturing sector in Europe is worth an estimated €20billion, supporting approximately 4130 SMEs and is responsible for employing 59,600 people within these SMEs. In particular, the wood coatings sector is facing a number of threats. The sector is coming under increasing pressure from low cost imports from Asia that have low solids content and subsequently po ...

One component waterborne barrier coatings (BARRIER PLUS)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,
"Steel is the most used metal in construction and the costs of protecting Europe’s structural steel installations and assets from corrosion is thought to be 3% of GDP (or about €375BN). However, there are two factors that will increasingly affect future protective coatings developments: VOC emissions and health/safety issues. Firstly there is a strong mandate to apply VOC emissions legislation to ...

Super-Stabilised Opaque Foam Coatings for Architectural Applications (DRYFOAM)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2014,
"A white coating’s opacity derives from some light absorption but predominantly light scattering, which is a function of differences in refractive index between paint components. In conventional white decorative coatings, for example, the main contribution to scattering is the difference in refractive index between titanium dioxide pigment (n=2.7) and the continuous medium, the resin system (n≈1.5 ...

Sustainable Coating for Food Packaging based on Starch and Seaweed Extracts (PlantPack)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2012, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2014,
Food packaging coatings (on paper wraps, cartons and cardboard) are essential to providing a physical barrier to protect food products in the packaging container during storage and transportation. Current packaging coatings are based on petrochemical derived waxes and polymers. However, with increasing petroleum costs and recent instability and volatility in some oil producing countries, the food ...

Development of green anticorrosion coatings for steel protection based on environmentally friendly nanoparticles and conducting polymers (STEELCOAT)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2011, Date de fin: 31 mars 2014,
The overall objective of the STEELCOAT project is to reduce the use of toxic and hazardous compounds in, and extend the service life of, anticorrosion coatings for steel. The project aims to develop novel green, environmentally friendly, anticorrosion coatings with extended durability for steel protection. We will develop both high solids (HS) solvent-borne and water-borne anticorrosion maintenanc ...

Enabling European SMEs to remediate wastes, reduce GHG emissions and produce biofuels via microalgae cultivation (BioAlgaeSorb)
Date du début: 1 août 2010, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2013,
The BioAlgaeSorb collaboration will benefit European SME-AGs in diverse business sectors by developing technologies for remediating and valorising industrial and agricultural/aquacultural effluents via microalgae cultivation. The resultant microalgal biomass will form a carbon neutral, environmentally sustainable raw material that is a source for commercially valuable end products, among them rene ...

Extended service-life and improved properties of wood products through the use of functional nanoparticles in clear coating and adhesive systems (WOODLIFE)
Date du début: 1 juin 2010, Date de fin: 31 mai 2013,
The long term objective of the WOODLIFE project is to provide coated and glued wood products with substantially improved durability for a more sustainable society. The project aims to develop new water-based clear coating systems for wood with improved UV-absorbing properties, and to develop new water-based thermoplastic wood adhesives with improved mechanical properties. The new coating and adhes ...
