    If you were able to make it to Indianapolis last month for the American Coat-

    ings Show and Conference Im sure you were just as impressed as I was with

    the way the whole event turned out. Hats off the American Coatings Associ-

    ation and Vincentz for organizing a great exhibition that seems to get better

    and more cohesive with each installment. The show really does feel like the

    younger sibling of the European Coatings Show.

    With 427 exhibitors and more than 7,500 overall participants from 69

    countries the third edition of the ACS 2012 broke all of its previous records

    for visitors, exhibitors and footprint.

    Exhibitors from 19 countries displayed a comprehensive range of products

    on more than 91,000 net square feet of exhibit space covering all aspects ofpaint and coating formulation. Companies from abroad accounted for 35 per-

    cent of the exhibitors, and in addition to the U.S., leading countries repre-

    sented at the show included China, Germany, Canada, India, South Korea,

    United Kingdom and Turkey.

    Aside from all the great networking opportunities the show offered along

    with the high level of show oor trafc and a top notch technical conference,

    Indianapolis was the perfect choice of host city. Literally everything is within

    walking distance which made was extremely convenient.

    While the next regularly scheduled ACS will take place on April 7-10, 2014

    at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Ga. due to scheduling con-

    icts from what I hear, the show will return to Indy in 2016 and beyond. Next

    month look for a comprehensive report that will include lots of informationon what we compiled from all the booths in terms of new products and tech-

    nology innovation in the industry as well as lots of photos.

    Next month will also feature our annual Top Companies Report, which is

    Coatings Worldsmost widely read and highly anticipated editorial event every

    year. As the global coatings community continues to expand so too does our

    report, which will cover more than 90 paint and coatings manufacturers from

    around the world.

    To qualify for inclusion in the report, you must be a paint and coatings

    manufacturer of any kind with sales revenue of $100 million or more for s-

    cal 2011. Does your company qualify? Do you know of a company that might

    t this criteria? Please let me know! Coatings Worldaims to bring you the

    most comprehensive collection of paint companies and we can always useyour help targeting rms that may be ying under the radar. I look forward

    to hearing from you.

    tain conditions, including the notication of

    government and regulatory authorities andshould be completed within 60 days. The

    purchase price to be paid for the business is

    $120 million. In 2011, the business to be

    sold had revenue of $113.5 million and gen-

    erated EBITDA of $13.3 million, before al-

    location of corporate expenses. The Central

    American paints business will be accounted

    for as a discontinued operation in H.B.

    Fullers current 2012 scal year.

    addition Bredero Shaw has also re-

    ceived a contract for anode pro-

    curement and installation. Work

    will commence during the second

    quarter of 2013. The company will execute

    the work at Bredero Shaws facility in Kuan-

    tan, Malaysia. The Kuantan facility is a

    technology-based, full service coating plant

    that was built specically to process large,

    complex projects in the Asia Pacic region.

    BASF and DeutscheNanoschicht to introduceinnovative process forsuperconducting coatingsHigh-temperature superconductors can be

    manufactured much more efciently and

    with less environmental impact by means

    of the innovative production process de-

    veloped by technology company Deutsche

    Nanoschicht GmbH. Superconductors

    carry current virtually without loss, so

    they allow potentially huge savings in gen-

    erating and transporting electricity. BASF

    Future Business GmbH supports Deutsche

    Nanoschicht as a cooperation partner.

    The wires for high-temperature super-

    conductors are manufactured by a coating

    process developed by Deutsche Nanoschicht

    that uses chemical solution deposition. The

    ceramic layers produced in this way have

    superconducting properties because they

    feature awless crystal orientation.Chem-

    ical deposition processes are technically

    challenging but hold enormous economic

    potential, said Dr. Michael Bcker, manag-

    ing director of Deutsche Nanoschicht.

    Industrial and energy sector customers,

    in particular, can benet from the com-

    panys patented solutions. Wherever large

    volumes of electricity are generated, trans-

    ported or used, the technologies we have

    developed facilitate innovative power engi-

    neering systems that operate efciently with

    little impact on resources, said Bcker.

    Manufacturers of generators and mo-

    tors or of cable and mains supply net-

    works for metropolitan areas will be

    particularly interested in superconductor

    technology. Among other applications it

    enables energy to be harvested highly ef-

    ciently from renewable resources by

    means of wind and hydro power genera-

    tors, especially in offshore wind farms.

    High-temperature superconductors

    conduct current without resistance at tem-

    peratures just above the boiling point of

    liquid nitrogen (77 Kelvin/-196 degrees

    Celsius). This temperature can be reached

    reliably at little cost and maintained dur-

    ing operations by means of commercial

    cryo technology. As the current carrying

    capacity is high compared to copper, ex-

    tremely compact and lightweight systems

    become an option in electrical engineering.

    Deutsche Nanoschicht has developed a

    unique process for manufacturing supercon-

    ductors cost-effectively. Customized formu-

    lations are deposited on a substrate by means

    of continuous processes.The crystallographic

    structure of the substrate is effectively trans-

    ferred to the ceramic layers being deposited

    so that all crystals of the superconductor ob-

    tained are perfectlyaligned to each other.The

    coating consequently features the ideal elec-

    trical properties of a monocrystal but does

    not show its mechanical properties such as

    brittleness or impact sensitivity.

    BASF Future Business and Deutsche

    Nanoschicht intend to bring this innovative

    coating technology to market together. The

    superconductor manufacturing process al-

    lows a broad range of applications far be-

    yond the energy sector.We believe that the

    coating technology of Deutsche

    Nanoschicht is a promising technology

    platform. Combined with our expertise in

    formulation, it can form the basis for the

    development of new system solutions for

    sensor and energy technology as well as

    electronics, said Dr. Ralf Nrenberg,mem-

    ber of the scouting team at BASF Future

    Business. By cooperating with Deutsche

    Nanoschicht GmbH we can bring together

    our expertise in chemicals and the innova-

    tive coating process of our partner.

    Drr presented its innovativeautomotive paint technologiesat the Drr Open HouseAt the Drr Open House, the companys

    business divisions presented innovative

    technologies to industry professionals.

    Under the motto Production Efciency

    for Your Advantage, Drr demonstrated

    new solutions in painting, gluing and au-

    tomation technology.

    Aspects such as the reduction of emis-

    sions and energy consumption, material

    savings and efcient use of space, exibil-

    ity, and efciency in planning, process and

    maintenance from the Eco Efciency sys-

    tem are guidelines for Drrs operations.

    At the application technology and the

    paint and assembly part of the exhibition,

    products, technologies and solutions from

    this range of performance were presented.

    EcoBell3 atomizers for exterior and direct

    charging are convincing with their minimal

    color change loss and short color change

    times.The atomizer plays an essential role in

    todays painting process. The EcoBell3 offers

    many advantages and alternatives and not

    least, it makes signicant contributions in

    dealing with energy and resources efciently.

    The new swing arm robot EcoRP L153

    provides accessibility for small and large car

    bodies on a production line, thus increasing

    exibility. At the exhibition, the robot was

    integrated into a fully-automatic station for

    interior and exterior painting in a painting

    zone (box concept). The reduction of the

    zone length and a more exible production

    are essential features of this concept.

    The continuous development and im-

    provement of the application technology

    products guarantee the highest quality,

    greatest exibility and protability during

    painting. In the future, the painting robot

    from Drr will be available with a uniform

    robotic arm for all applications. The second

    generation of the color changer EcoLCC

    scores points with a new skid positioning

    system with servo drive and weight reduc-

    tion through new valve technology. The

    robot control EcoRPC with a new genera-

    tion of controllers saves up to 30 percent

    more energy and has a uniform bus system

    for motion and process with Sercos 3.

    plicator. At the same time, the

    availability of the system in-

    creases, and the cycle time is re-

    duced by higher robot speeds.

    Drr showed solutions for coating and

    gluing rotor blades in the wind power indus-

    try for the rst time at this open house. The

    company uses its automation know-how

    from its traditional business areas in this eld.

    The automated application of adhesives and

    paint in rotor blade manufacturing increases

    quality and process reliability together with

    lessmaterial consumption.Additional advan-

    tages include saving time by overlapping

    processes during activation, cleaning, paint-

    ing and drying, as well as greater durability

    through reliable manufacturing processes.

    For systems and automation Drr pres-

    ents the compact, modular paint booth

    concept, EcoReBooth. This is based on the

    proven EcoDryScrubber technology for dry

    separation of paint overspray, which saves

    60 percent of the energy required in the

    paint booth. New with EcoReBooth is the

    integrated, powerful ventilation system lo-

    cated within the cabin cross-section, mak-

    ing the system highly compact. Other

    benets include rapid installation through

    construction with pre-assembled modules,

    and the fact that all maintenance-related

    components are situated on one level. The

    exible cabin width should also be high-

    lighted, as it is individually adaptable to the

    customers setting. This newly designed

    paint booth reduces the space required,the

    complexity, the number of lter modules,

    as well as the consumption of media - and

    thus ultimately the costs.

    Drr offers a new perspective for sus-

    tainable painting with alternative concepts

    for the production of industrial process

    heating. Drr utilizes solar energy for the

    Eco Paintshop, which reduces energy and

    material consumption as well as emissions.

    Low maintenance and compact Fresnel

    collectors are used, which concentrate sun-

    light and thus function very efciently.

    While conventional collectors produce

    process heat of only 80 C, Drr achieves

    temperatures of up to 400 C with these

    high-performance collectors. This way

    Drr can heat ovens whose operation re-

    quires temperatures up to 220 C. This pi-

    oneering step of energy independence is

    topped off with the use of combined heat

    and power. With it electricity is produced

    via a low-emission combustion process in a

    micro gas turbine, whose waste heat is used

    to heat the oven. Both technologies result

    in signicantly lower CO2 emissions and

    conserve non-renewable energy sources.

    Drr also supports the introduction of

    new drive and mobility concepts with in-

    novative automation solutions. For their

    customer, Better Place, Drr has manufac-

    tured automatic battery exchange stations

    for electric cars for Better Place, as part of

    the companys expanding global network

    footprint. The rst systems are being in-

    stalled and a framework agreement has

    been concluded for supplying additional

    equipment. Its a simple concept: You need

    not tediously charge a battery that is run-

    ning low, but instead completely automat-

    ically exchange it at a changing station.

    This takes no more time to complete than

    a visit to the gas station.

    As a specialist in vehicle assembly with

    know-how in gluing,testing and lling tech-

    nology, as well as in automation,Drr is op-

    timally positioned to supply assembly lines

    for complete drive batteries in electric cars.

    This expertise was demonstrated to cus-

    tomers at the eighth Drr Open House.

    The Valspar Corporation reported its results

    for the second quarter ended April 27,

    2012. Second-quarter sales totaled $1.03

    billion, a four percent increase from the sec-

    ond quarter of 2011. Net income for the

    second quarter of 2012 was $76.5 million,

    up from $56.3 million a year ago.We were

    pleased with our performance in the quar-

    ter, said Gary Hendrickson, president and

    CEO, Valspar. Our earnings growth was

    driven by new business in our industrial

    product lines, better price-to-cost balance,productivity improvements and benets

    from last years restructuring actions. Our

    volume trend improved sequentially in both

    our coatings and paint segments in the

    quarter. Looking ahead to the rest of the

    year, we are raising adjusted full year earn-

    ings per share guidance to $3.20 to $3.30,

    reecting our expectation of further volume

    growth and continued execution of our key

    operational initiatives.

    BASF reports six percent growthin sales over last years Q1BASF had a solid start to 2012. Sales were

    higher than in the very good rst quarter of

    the previous year and rose six percent to

    20.6 billion. Income from operations

    (EBIT) before special items decreased as ex-

    pected and, at 2.5 billion (down seven per-

    cent), was slightly below the same quarter

    of the previous year. Increased raw mate-

    rial costs could not be fully passed on in all

    business areas, which put pressure on our

    margins. Our Oil & Gas and Agricultural

    Solutions segments increased their earnings

    signicantly, said Dr. Kurt Bock, chairman

    of the board of executive directors of BASF,

    at the annual shareholders meeting in the

    Congress Center Rosengarten inMannheim. After a weak fourth quarter in

    2011, BASFs business recovered in the rst

    quarter of 2012. However, higher raw ma-

    terial costs could only be partly passed on.

    The company expects global economic

    growth to continue over the course of 2012.

    Uncertainty on the nancial markets damp-

    ens growth prospects. Positive stimulus for

    the chemical industry will mainly come

    from the emerging markets. Sales increased

    in the Chemicals segment, mainly due to

    positive currency effects and sales to Styro-lution Group companies. Sales in the Per-

    formance Products segment were at the

    level of the very good previous rst quarter.

    Demand was slightly lower. Sales in the

    Functional Solutions segment increased

    slightly as a result of higher demand from

    the automotive and construction industries.

    The paints and varnishes market in the

    BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China)

    countries was valued over US$29 billion

    in 2011, representing an increase of 56.3

    percent from the value recorded in 2007,

    according to a new report released byRe-

    portlinker.com. The market recorded pos-

    itive annual growth rates every year

    during the review period (2007-2011),

    apart from in 2009 when it declined by

    3.2 percent due to the adverse impact of

    the global economic crisis. Water-basedpaints and varnishes accounted for the

    largest share of the BRIC paints and var-

    nishes market in 2011 with a market

    share of 46.4 percent. The second largest

    category in the market was solvent-based

    paints and varnishes, which recorded a

    market share of 26.6 percent. China was

    the largest paints and varnishes market

    among the BRIC countries during the re-

    view period. The Chinese paints and var-

    nishes market grew rapidly and recorded

    a CAGR of 16.90 percent during the re-view period.

    The BRIC countries have played a

    major role in the growth of the paints and

    coatings market during the review period,

    as population growth, rapid urbanization,

    increasing disposable income and focus

    on nuclear or smaller families have all

    combined to considerably raise demand

    for residential construction.

    Global sporting events such as the

    2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016

    Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro will re-quire substantial construction activity in

    infrastructure, commercial and residential

    sectors over the forecast period which will

    stimulate growth for paints and varnishes.

    Brazil is undergoing an extensive pe-

    riod of reconstruction, with plans to com-

    plete 12,265 infrastructure projects

    throughout the country by the end of

    2016. An investment of US$800 billion

    for infrastructure spending is expected in

    Brazil over the forecast period, which will

    create a large demand for paints and var-nishes in the country.

    Russia is preparing to host major in-

    ternational events including the 2018

    FIFA World Cup, the 2014 Winter

    Olympic Games in Sochi and the 2012

    APEC Summit in Vladivostok which will

    require substantial construction activity

    in infrastructure, commercial, and resi-

    dential sectors over the forecast period

    which will stimulate the growth for

    paints and varnishes.

    The Indian government announced

    an investment of US$514 billion(INR23.5 trillion) in its 11th five-year

    plan, covering the 2007-2012 period. In

    addition, the government has increased

    infrastructure spending, from seven per-

    cent of GDP to 10 percent, which indi-

    cates the potential for increased

    infrastructure construction activities that

    could require paints and varnishes.

    The level of construction activity in

    China will increase due to increasing FDI,

    rapid urbanization, ongoing industrializa-

    tion, the expanding manufacturing sectorand government efforts to develop infra-

    structure. This will create demand for

    paints and varnishes in China, enabling

    the countrys paints and varnishes market

    to achieve a CAGR of 12.91% percent

    over the forecast period.

    GIA says growth in end-usemarkets drives the pigmentsdyes industry

    The market for pigments and dyes re-sponds to the coloring needs of a wide

    range of end-use industries, ranging from

    paints and coatings to construction. With

    robust demand in key markets of paints

    and coatings, plastics, paper and printing

    inks, the pigments market is forecast to

    register steady growth in the coming

    years, according to a new report titled,

    Pigments and Dyes: A Global Strategic

    Business Report, published by Global In-

    dustry Analysts Inc.

    Aided by a choice for brighter aes-thetics and higher pigment concentra-

    tion, the pigments industry is expected

    to propel ahead at a steady rate. The in-

    dustry is witnessing a fundamental shift

    in the form of greater preference for

    high performance metal-based inorganic

    pigments, and away from solvent-based

    raw materials. The dyes market, mean-

    while, largely depends upon the fortunes

    of its principal end-user, Textiles, which

    account for about 70 percent of the

    total demand.

    After a brief decline in volume andvalues, in 2008 and 2009, which was a

    result of the global economic downturn,

    the future for global pigments and dyes

    market appears to be bright. Global

    market for pigments and dyes began to

    show signs of recovery in 2009 and reg-

    istered positive growth in 2010, albeit by

    a small margin. The market, however, is

    expected to post significant growth in

    terms of volume as well as value in the

    coming years. Surge in the coming years

    would be fueled by growth in the paints,inks, coatings, and construction indus-

    tries. Growing demand for high quality

    value-added pigments is one of the key

    factors expected to result in a spurt in

    growth. Further, the market, although

    mature, would also receive a boost as

    companies increasingly feel the need to

    evolve and design their products in sync

    with changing requirements for new and

    emerging technologies. Higher rates of

    capacity utilization are expected to fur-

    ther drive prices upwards. Mounting en-ergy costs would also considerably

    impact global pigments consumption.

    Asia-Pacific represents the largest and

    the fastest growing regional market for

    pigments and dyes worldwide, as stated

    by the new market research report. A

    key trend witnessed in the recent past is

    the migration of manufacturing capacity

    from the West to low-cost countries in

    the Asia-Pacific region, driven mainly by

    stringent environmental compliance is-

    sues. China will continue to be the singlelargest and fastest growing market. CW

    Spies Hecker has introduced Permasolid

    2.1 Surfacer 5157 is a 2K acrylic urethane

    with low VOC levels and is designed for

    use with both waterborne and solvent-

    borne base coats.

    Permasolid 2.1 Surfacer 5157 is ideal

    for renishers because of ease of applica-

    tion and increased productivity the com-

    pany said. Spraying requires two to four

    coats and ash-off time is ve to 10 min-

    utes between coats. Its leveling properties

    means less sanding is required.Permasolid 2.1 Surfacer 5157 gives

    shops a low VOC, productive surfacer

    that will help increase productivity and

    improve nal results, said Debbie Curry,

    product manager, North America. This

    new surfacer is not only fast and easy to

    spray, it also provides good absorption of

    overspray and exceptional feather edge ca-

    pabilities, enabling technicians to achieve

    optimal nal results.

    Permasolid 2.1 Surfacer 5157 is avail-

    able in white and dark gray.Based in Cologne, Germany, Spies

    Hecker is one of the worlds leading man-

    ufacturers of renishing paints.

    Dunn-Edwards improvesSuprema interior flat andvelvet paintDunn-Edwards has improved its Suprema

    product line. The Flat and Velvet nish

    levels (10 and 20) now provide better

    hide, burnish resistance and touch up thatwill go a long way to ensure that painting

    professionals can provide the best possi-

    ble interior paint for their clients homes

    the company said. The high quality resins

    in its formulation provide better scrub re-

    sistance by creating a harder lm.

    Suprema has excellent ow and leveling

    because it uses a special thickening agent

    that interacts better with the resin parti-

    cles to allow the paint lm to ow better.

    This ensures a smooth, even nish.

    Suprema is eco-friendly, ethylene glycol(EG)-free and produced in the nations

    only LEED Gold-Certied paint manufac-

    turing plant. Suprema is ultra-low VOC at

    50 grams per liter, and has very low odor

    both during and after application. The im-

    proved Suprema Flat and Velvet are now

    available in Dunn-Edwards stores.

    PPG launches new CRE SeriesprimersPPG Commercial Coatings has introduced

    an enhanced version of its CRE Series cor-rosion-resistant epoxy primers. The new

    primers replace all versions of the CRE

    products currently sold in North America.

    The CRE-X21 Series primers provide a

    range of performance features that include

    improved chemical resistance, enhanced

    corrosion protection, a broad 96-hour re-

    coat window, and excellent adhesion to

    galvanized, galvaneal and stainless steel as

    well as to current compatible substrates.

    Also, with a 2.1 lbs/gal blended VOC, the

    new series meets current regulations in theU.S. and Canada in PPG target markets.

    This series of greatly improved

    primers is the result of new raw material

    technology we are utilizing at PPG, said

    Steve Podlas, marketing manager for PPG

    Commercial Coatings. We have com-

    pletely redesigned both sides of the

    primer/hardener package in making the

    improvements.

    According to Podlas, the CRE-X21 Se-

    ries primers offer higher lm build capa-

    bilities and excellent sag resistance. The llproperties make the primers an ideal

    choice for application over sandblasted

    proles. The primers also provide a

    smoother appearance allowing for a better

    nish appearance after the topcoat is ap-

    plied.

    The CRE-X21 Series primers are of-

    fered in three standard colorsblack,

    gray and whitein addition to a tintable

    version. They are intended for use on trail-

    ers, cranes, service bodies, cryogenic

    equipment, and a variety of other manu-factured items. The primers can be applied

    Chesapeake Bay Coatingsintroduces Devran 224HSepoxy coating for industrialapplicationsBaltimore, Md.-based coatings manufac-

    turer Chesapeake Bay Coating has re-

    cently introduced several new high

    performance steel coating products to

    their product catalogue. One of the latest

    steel coating solutions that the company

    has added to their in-house inventory is

    the Devran 224HS high solids epoxy coat-

    ing product. This solution has been de-

    signed as a coating for structural steel,

    piping, tanks and equipment in chemical,

    fertilizer and power plants among other

    applications.

    Devran 224HS is a high performance

    multi-purpose, two-component chemi-

    cally-cured epoxy semi-glass coating de-

    signed for use on properly prepared steel

    and masonry surfaces. The company said

    many of its clients have found the prod-

    uct to be the ideal solution for coatings

    within correctional facilities, schools and

    commercial areas and restaurant kitchens

    where high performance is mandated by

    federal legislation.

    As one of the leading providers of

    coatings to the federal government,

    Chesapeake Bay Coatings has a long his-

    tory in meeting the set stands of govern-

    mental agencies for the production of

    coatings solutions for the military.

    Biocoat adds three successors

    to its HydroSleek hydrophiliccoatings for medical devicesBiocoat, Inc., maker of lubricious Hydak

    hydrophilic coatings introduced three

    new hydrophilic coatings for medical de-

    vices to its lineup. HydroSleek2 is the

    new successor to the original Hy-

    droSleek lubricious coating, with im-

    proved processing and biocom-

    patibility. The HydroSleek Kit is

    another variation on the Hy-

    droSleek coating, which allows

    the product to be stored and transported

    under a wider array of conditions. The

    Hydak T-040 Kit is a remake of Hydak

    L-110, also allowing for wider availabil-

    ity to Asian and European markets. All

    of these coatings are based on high mo-

    lecular weight hyaluronic acid (HA).

    This technology has applications among

    a range of fields including ophthalmol-

    ogy, urology, cardiology, endoscopy, and

    neurovascular. HydroSleek coatings have

    overcome the trade off between lubricity

    and durability seen in cross-linked coat-

    ings. Additionally, HydroSleek involves

    a heat-cure process so both ID and OD

    may be coated without the concerns sur-

    rounding UV curing. These new prod-

    ucts will act as Biocoats front line

    solution to medical device firms seeking

    to reduce surface friction for their de-

    vices the company said. CW

    Industrial Coatings Segment TacklesVOC Issues

    International Coatings Scene Europe

    by Sean Milmo

    Europe Correspondent

    [email protected]

    European regulations aimed specically atlimiting emissions of volatile organic

    compounds (VOCs) from coatings have

    been mainly conned to decorative paints and

    the manufacture of the coatings themselves.

    The last piece of major European Union legis-

    lation targeting VOCs was the decorative paints

    regulation dubbed Decopaint, which in two

    phases from 2007 and 2010 decreased the VOC

    content of certain coatings by over 90 percent.

    The European Commission, the EU executive

    which is responsible for drawing up new EU leg-

    islation for approval by the European Parliamentand EU governments, appears to have abandoned

    tentative plans to extend VOC limits to other

    coatings sectors, especially industrial paints.

    It has also put aside plans for regulations on

    interior air quality (IAQ) which would proba-

    bly trigger not only tighter restrictions on VOCs

    in decorative paints but also in wood coatings

    on ooring and furniture and in plastic coatings

    in household appliances.

    Nonetheless producers of industrial paints,

    especially anticorrosion and protective coatings,

    have been feeling under pressure to reduce theVOC emissions from their products.

    They are being pushed by other legislation

    not specic to VOCs, new guidance from stan-

    dards organizations, by customers or by their

    own environmentally friendly strategies.

    (Were) not waiting until the last minute for

    legislation to show the way, said Dimitris Lik-

    ouressis, group marketing manager at Hempelof Denmark. We are trying in all our develop-

    ments to explore ways of combining high per-

    formance competitive products with the least

    impact on the environment. We need (also) to

    understand that our customers with their own

    sustainability policies have every intention to

    work for a safer environment.

    NORSOK, the Norwegian organization that

    sets international bench marking standards for

    the North Sea oil and gas, energy and marine

    sectors, has just been tightening up its VOCs and

    other rules. Certain water tanks now have tohave solvent-free coatings under NORSOC.

    Among non VOC-specic EU regulations the

    biggest inuence on solvents usage is being exerted

    by REACH, the regions legislation on the regis-

    tration, evaluation and authorization of chemicals.

    It requires that all chemicals manufactured

    or imported in quantities of 10 tons or more a

    year will have to be registered with data about

    their derived no effect levels (DNELs). These

    show the extent of exposure to a substance

    below which no adverse effects are expected to

    occur. The REACH denition of DNEL sub-stances include VOCs.

    Previously confined

    to the decorative

    coatings segment,

    the VOC issue is

    now at the forefront

    of industrialcoatings as well.

    Manufacturers of industrial coatings

    are steadily moving over to low-solvent or

    solvent-free products. Weve seen grow-

    ing interest from our customers for lower

    VOC alternatives, said Mary Rose Cor-

    rea, industrial market manager for Dow

    Coatings Materials.

    International Paint, the marine and

    protective coatings division of AkzoNo-

    bel, has reported that ABB, the global

    leader in power and automation tech-

    nologies, had recently awarded it a coat-

    ings supply contract for transformers in

    which a priority was a reduction in

    VOC emissions.

    International Paint has a wide range of

    VOC contents in its paintsextending

    from virtually zero to over 400 grams per

    liter. In discussions with ABB before the

    award of the contract International

    stressed that VOC emissions were not nec-

    essarily linked to VOC content.

    While VOC per liter is important it is

    also essential to understand the relative

    volume solids content of the coatings, the

    total dried lm thickness (DFT) of the ap-

    plied lm coating system and the overall

    VOC released per area painted, said

    Jamie OBrien, worldwide power market

    manager at International.

    Hempel has just introduced a new sol-

    vent-free epoxy coating for the interior of

    storage tanks and pipelines, specied for

    temperatures up to 93C (200F), which

    enables oil and gas companies to store and

    handle high temperature crude oil and

    water without risk of contamination.

    The coating with the brand name

    Hempadur 35900 does not release VOCs

    during application so that it conforms

    with strict environmental regulations such

    as those of California in the US and the

    new NORSOK standards.

    It was quite a challenge conforming

    to the NORSOK standards because it

    took nine months of testing according to

    NORSOK requirements, said Kunal

    Nadkami, Hempels group oil and gas

    segment manager. It was particularly

    demanding for solvent-free coatings,

    which had to show that they operate at

    high temperatures.

    Hempel believes that the trend to low-

    VOC emissions or VOC-free paint in sec-

    tors like oil and gas will extend to other

    coatings segments.

    There is a strong momentum behind

    the move to low or solvent-free anti-cor-

    rosion and protective coatings in oil and

    gas production, both off- and on- shore,

    said Nadkami. The large players in the

    market are taking the lead on the issue.

    They are taking on the responsibility of

    ensuring that the coatings they use have

    both a high level of performance and are

    environmentally-friendly.

    The formulation of anticorrosion and

    protective paints with low VOC contents

    can be technologically challenging to coat-

    ings producers, particularly if their per-

    formance has to be at least equivalent to

    that of solventborne products.

    The durability, hardness and chemical

    and UV resistance of protective solvent-

    borne epoxy coatings can be difcult to

    replicate in low-VOC paints. Dow Coat-

    ing Materials has recently introduced wa-

    terborne systems with very low VOC

    contents, which it claims rivals solvent-

    borne properties.

    One option when switching to low

    VOC formulations with epoxy coatings is

    to use liquid instead of solid systems. But

    while these give high levels of hardness

    they can also have less exibility than the

    solid epoxies.

    Poor gloss and foaming can present

    problems in low-VOC protective coatings,

    requiring the use of new types of deaera-

    tors or defoamers.

    At a time of slow economic growth

    and low capital investment, the move

    away from solventborne anticorrosion

    and protective coatings may be a gradual

    process in Europe because of the neces-

    sity for expenditure on new equipment

    for applying more environmentally com-

    patible paints.

    This is now a trend, said Nadkami.

    The technology, which is now showing it-

    self to be suitable for the oil and gas sec-

    tor will be suitable for other sectors. At

    the moment the oil and gas sector and to

    some extent the marine segment is driving

    this extension into other segments.CW

    Keeping the Family Business In the Family

    Business Corner Strategies & Analysis

    by Ira Miller

    The Chemark Consulting Group

    Irecently interviewed the founder and CEO of

    a successful small business and his two sons.

    The founder wants to grow the business and

    ensure a place for his sons. The boys want the

    business to succeed and become the foundation

    for employment in their community and wealth

    for the family for generations to come.

    We have put together a three-step game plan

    for this business that brings the sons into the de-

    cision-making process both as executives and

    owners.The three steps include:1. Finding Capital (pricing models; cash cy-

    cles; packaging models)

    2. Strategic Direction (external view; in-

    ternal view; implementation of change)

    3. Organization Impact (structure/ manage-

    ment; policies/methods; involvement)

    In the process of discovering this particular

    familys goals, I came across a number of gaps

    that we will need to bridge as we work together.

    As you will see below, Priscilla Cale and David

    Tate have identied some of the more frequently

    encountered gaps in family-owned businesses.

    Excerpted from Building Commitment in the

    Family Business Begins with YOU, By Piscilla

    M. Cale, MBA and David C. Tate, PhD

    Generational differences between owners and

    successors can account for some of the inter-

    personal challenges that surface in family-

    owned or closely held businesses. Members of

    the veteran generation may see Baby Boomers

    as self-absorbed and view those of Gen X or Y

    as stubborn, unaware and disrespectful. Baby

    Boomers may characterize members of Gen Xor Y as rude, impatient and having little regard

    for established processes. And members of Gen

    X or Y might characterize Baby Boomers as

    workaholics, self-righteous and clueless. Either

    way you slice it, those in Gen X and Y are of-

    tentimes (and unfairly) labeled as irreverent

    and uncommitted.

    But when it comes to family businesses,

    most family business owners want the business

    to remain family-owned. And so, members of

    the senior generation face a dilemma: while

    they may want to transition the business to thenext generation, they are fearful that the next

    generation is not or will not be as committed

    to the business as they are.

    In a number of surveys, commitment is ranked

    as thesecond-most important successor attribute

    just behindintegrity. Conversely, lack of committed

    leadership has been cited as a barrier to succession.

    So, for family business leaders, the question be-

    comes:HowcanI build commitment in successors?

    Here are a few tips on how leaders can foster

    commitment in the succeeding generation.

    Exhibit commitment

    One gripe heard from successors is that it is unfair

    to expect them to be committed to a business that

    (a) doesnt have an established plan for succession;

    (b) doesnt have leaders who have built an estate

    plan that protects corporateassets; (c)doesnt have

    formally identied career paths and job descrip-

    tions; and (d) doesnt have a strategic plan. And

    their concerns are not baseless.In fact, only about

    one-third of family businesses have a strategic

    plan, one-third have built a succession plan, one-

    third have an estate plan (that goes beyond a sim-

    ple will),half have developed job descriptions and

    only one in ve have descriptive career paths by

    job function.So for the next generation to be com-

    mitted to the business, leaders must exhibit com-

    mitment by establishing plans and processes that

    will ensure there will be a strong business that can

    survive beyond the transition of leadership.

    Appreciate different work styles and the ef-

    ciencies technology brings

    Globalization of the late 20th century (and the

    dotcom era) has brought much efciency to the

    boardroom, and it also allows leaders to delegate

    tasks to others more effectively and outsource

    those tasks that are not value-added. Technology

    allows leaders to videoconference, work remotely,

    monitor progress toward goals and be plugged in

    virtually anywhere and at anytime. Yet, just be-

    cause successors may notphysically be at theofce

    for 12-hour stretches every day doesnt mean

    theyre being unproductive.Understandthat tech-

    nology brings opportunities to have a work/life

    balance, and brings about greater efciency that

    places less cost demands on the business.

    Be a participatory leader

    When leaders involve successors in current busi-

    ness decisions, it fosters buy-in and feelings of in-

    clusion. It also generally leads to better decisions

    (being that the leader has considered multiple opin-

    ions) and helps successors to believe that the busi-

    ness will be strong enough to survive a transition.

    In fact, studies of leadership in family rms found

    that participative leadership was associated with a

    number of positive results, including favorable

    family and nancial outcomes, greater employee

    satisfaction and greater levels of commitment.

    Be transformational

    Closely related to participatory leadership, trans-

    formational leaders motivate others and help to

    build cohesion in ways that increase loyalty. There

    are four ways in which leaders can become trans-

    formational: (1) by giving individual considera-

    tion to employees and acting as a mentor or

    coach; (2) by articulating a compelling vision and

    communicating optimism about future goals; (3)

    by providing intellectual stimulation and chal-

    lenging employees to think,learn, and share ideas;

    and (4) by exhibiting charisma, pride, respect,

    trust, high standards and ethical behavior.

    With a new generation entering the business

    comes a new set of norms and practices that

    sometimes mystify those members of the senior

    generation. But change is natural, and new ways

    of working are an integral part of evolution. Just

    remember, though: nobody wants to be part of a

    sinking ship. If you want to attract, retain and

    build committed next generation leaders, incum-

    bent leaders must put forth the effort rst to let

    successors know that they are doing the impor-

    tant work to make sure that the business is safe,

    strong and an exciting place to work that offers

    opportunities for personal and professional

    growth. And so, heres our advice to family busi-

    ness leaders: Be committed to build commitment.

    What you can do nowIt seems to me there are four steps to take as

    you contemplate leadership succession to the

    next generation:

    Accept that youwill notwork forever. Desire

    for the next stage of life or Mother Nature

    will ensure that this assessment is correct.

    Make your own, private assessment of the

    leadershippotential within thenextgeneration.

    Ask them about their desires for their life.

    Does or could it include running the fam-

    ily business?

    Find someone who can guide you, your

    business owners, family and leadership

    through the planning and execution of the

    transition.CW
