GreenVolts to use Henkels

Aquence coatings to protect its
CPV solar equipment from
corrosion
Henkel announced that its Aquence CoCure technology has been selected for use
by GreenVolts, Inc. for its higher-performing, lower cost protection against
corrosion and UV-damage in the solar industry. GreenVolts, provider of the
worlds only complete and fully integrated concentrating photovoltaic (CPV)
solar system, and its investor and global
September 2012
strategic partner ABB, a leader in power

and automation technologies, are the
first to use this process for solar energy
equipment. Henkel worked with GreenVolts and leading paint and coatings
company AkzoNobel to customize a
process that layers Henkels Aquence autodeposition coatings with a powder topcoat and co-cures them in a single
oven. This lean paint shop process, which
has been very successful in the automotive industry, now provides solar components with higher quality finishes,
increased durability, and ultraviolet protection for 25 years. Additionally, the
process reduces environmental impact,
since it contains no heavy metals or
sludge, and lowers water and energy requirements. According to Henkel, most
solar equipment manufacturers use a
hot-dip galvanization process to protect
their metal parts. While industry-standard, this process has drawbacks. The
high temperatures can introduce stresses
in the dipped metal parts. These stresses
and any dimensional distortions can be
weak points in a system. Also, the galvanization process leaves a thick layer that
can be problematic for complex shapes,
especially internal cavities. For example,
threaded holes may reduce in size so that
bolts do not fit properly. The Aquence
process is more precise, and can provide
a smoother, higher quality surface for
topcoats and finishes the company said.

Economic Development Zone of Hubei

Province. The new facility, scheduled to
be completed in the second half of 2013,
will be equipped with state-of-the-art
production and quality control capabilities, and house about 100 employees.
The facility is expected to double Graces
regional production capacity for specialty waterproofing products sold to
Chinese customers and exported to the
rest of Asia, Latin America and other
fast-growing emerging markets. Grace
China Ltd. was founded in 1986 as the
first wholly foreign-owned company to

sales offices and four technical service
centers in China.
A new chrome free pretreatment for the

commercial aircraft maintenance market
is being presented at MRO Europe by
AkzoNobel Aerospace Coatings. Under
the name Metaflex SP 1050 Pre-treatment, the chrome free, water-based
product is the most recent addition to
the Metaflex brand. Metaflex SP 1050
Pre-treatment offers corrosion protection through increased adhesion of paint
on metal, meeting the rigorous anti-corrosion requirements of AMS 3095. Recognized as a universal pre-treatment for
commercial
aircraft
maintenance,
Metaflex SP 1050 Pre-treatment can be
applied over several metals and composite. Furthermore, it improves adhesion of the paint system on rivets,
compared to traditional conversion
coatings and wash primer pre-treatments. A solution to simplify the aircraft
maintenance process, the system brings
time and cost saving benefits to the
paint shop and an innovative approach
to the way surface pre-treatment products are utilized in the repainting
process the company said. Reduced
VOC emissions by as much as 75 percent offer an additional advantage, resulting in a non hazardous, odorless
product. CW

DuPont sells coatings business for $4.9 billion
Global alternative asset manager The Carlyle Group and DuPont signed a denitive
agreement whereby Carlyle will purchase
DuPont Performance Coatings (DPC) for
$4.9 billion in cash. The transaction is expected to close in the rst quarter 2013,
subject to customary closing conditions
and regulatory approvals.
DPC is a global supplier of vehicle and
industrial coating systems with 2012 expected sales of more than $4 billion and
more than 11,000 employees. The investment will be funded with equity from Carlyle Partners V and Carlyle Europe
Partners III.
DuPont Performance Coatings is a
leader in the automotive and industrial
coatings sectors with world-class products
and customer service. The business continues to grow and deliver solid results.
After a careful review, however, we have
determined that DPCs full growth potential would be best realized outside DuPont
and through the sale to Carlyle, said
DuPont chair and CEO Ellen Kullman.
This transaction is consistent with our
vision to be the worlds most dynamic science company and long-term strategy of
driving competitive advantages in agriculture and nutrition, advanced materials
and biotechnology, which represent highgrowth, high-margin opportunities.

positions, next-generation technology and
established brands, said Greg Ledford,
Carlyle managing director and head of the
industrial and transportation team.
Through targeted investments we will
support DPCs product development and
growth objectives as it transitions to a
stand-alone company. We look forward to
working with management to fully realize
DPCs great potential.
technology innovator and we look forward
to building on its strong market presence to
accelerate growth in emerging markets, particularly in China and Brazil, said Gregor
10 | Coatings World
Bhm, managing director and co-head of

Carlyles Europe buyout team.
Kullman stressed that DuPont remains
committed to serving the automotive industry. Following the closing of this transaction, DuPont will generate more than
$3 billion in sales of advanced materials
to the auto industry. We will continue to
work closely with automotive customers
to apply our science-powered innovations
related to light weighting of vehicles, revolutionary and environmentally friendly
refrigerants, biobased seat fabrics and
headliners, and next-generation biofuels,
Kullman said.
Beginning with the third quarter 2012,
DuPont will classify and report results of
DPC as discontinued operations on a
retroactive basis.
Carlyles industrial and automotive investments include Allison Transmission,
Hertz and PQ Corporation, as well as recent commitments to invest in Hamilton
Sundstrand Industrial, Sunocos Philadelphia renery and regional rail freight operator Genesee & Wyoming.
BASF sells its German and

French decorative paints
business Relius to Prosol
BASF and Prosol Lacke + Farben GmbH
signed a contract for the sale of the decorative paints business of Relius Coatings
GmbH & Co. KG in Germany and Relius
France SAS in France. The business encompasses construction paints and plaster as
well as varnishes and glazes for construction application and is mainly based in Germany, France and some other selected
countries in Europe. The sale of the business
includes the Memmingen site in Germany
as well as 30 distribution points in Germany
and France. The transfer is scheduled to be
completed on November 30, 2012. The two
parties agreed to not disclose any information on the purchase price.
The decorative paints business of Relius in the Netherlands is not part of the
transaction. BASF is currently negotiating
the sale of this part of the Relius Coatings

business. The industrial coatings business
of Relius Coatings at the Oldenburg site
in Germany is also not affected and will
remain part of BASF.
Relius Coatings has a very experienced
team, state-of-the-art sites and well established brands. We are condent that this
business can have a successful perspective
at Prosol that has its core competencies in
construction paints, said Markus Kamieth,
president of BASFs coatings division.
Prosol is a leading wholesale company
for paints and coatings. The company was
founded in 1949 and employs 500 employees at 40 sites. The product range
comprises decorative paints, automotive
renish paints, industrial coatings and

CIN invests 12 million euros in

Maia plant
CIN, Iberias leading paint and varnish
company, unveiled plans to invest 12 million euros in increasing the manufacturing capacity of its plant producing powder
paints for the industrial sector, in Maia.
We have been turning away customers because we do not have any more
capacity. It was essential to increase the
capacity in a segment - Industrial Finishes
- which is geared towards exports and
which has ample business potential for the
CIN Group, said Joo Serrenho, chairman of the CIN Group. Our products
are well accepted by foreign markets and
requests are regularly made.
The investment is scheduled for various phases over ve years. The rst phase
has already begun. It comprises a total of
six million euros and will be completed in
July this year.
Powder paints currently represent 11
percent of the groups total turnover. The
group will produce an additional 50 percent in the rst phase, reaching 10,000 tons
per year. This increase in production will
be almost entirely channelled for export.
In the second phase, from December
September 2012
Fresh Paint
2012 to February 2013, a specic

products unit will be installed,
encompassing an investment of
1.5 million euros. The third and
nal phase will increase the installed capacity to 14,000 tons/year through the installation of new production lines.
These works will not only allow the
brand to increase its operations in key
overseas markets such as Central Europe,
but also strengthen the CIN Groups leadership in Portugal, driving an increase in
its current market share.
Environmental sustainability was considered throughout the project, with the
introduction of new technologies and new
production processes, such as bonding,
which allows the development of polyester
powder coatings with metallic effects, free
of heavy metals, to be used in architectural
projects. The processes of the current plant
will also be streamlined and made more
exible. This investment in market leading
technology allows the creation of ever
more innovative products that are eco-sufcient and also more competitive.
The expansion of the Maia plant will initially create an additional 15 jobs to the 58
already existing, and increase the area devoted to R&D, which currently employs 17
people solely in the area of powder paints.
CIN INDSTRIA, S.A. was founded in
2007. It was created by the demerger of
CIN, S. A., with the aim of optimising the
companys position in the industrial paints
market, a market that CIN has lead since
1958.
CIN INDSTRIA sells powder paints
developed and produced in its plant located in Maia. These paints are sold under
the Megadur and Ibercoat brands and are
aimed at the following markets: architecture, functional and industrial use as
metal furniture, job coaters, home appliances and automotive components.
The Megadur brand has been the segment leader in Portugal since the 90s. A
large percentage of production is aimed at
the European market, namely Germany,
Spain and France.
CIN owns 10 manufacturing plants in
six countriesPortugal, Spain, France, Angola, Mozambique and Chinaand employs about 1,400 workers for the
decorative and civil construction segments,
12 | Coatings World
plus protective and industrial coatings

(metal and wood). CIN occupied the 46th
place in the world rankings of producers of
paint and varnish in 2012 (Ref: Coatings
World). It exports to several markets in Central Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia.

tional research center known as

the BP International Centre for
Advanced Materials, or BPICAM. This center will lead research aimed at advancing the
fundamental understanding and use of
materials across a variety of energy and
industrial applications.
The BP-ICAM will be modeled on a
hub and spoke structure, with the hub
located within The University of Manchesters Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences, which has core strengths in
materials, engineering, characterization,
collaborative working, and a track record
of delivering breakthrough research and
engineering applications that can be deployed in the real world. The spokes
and other founder members, all worldclass academic institutions, are the University of Cambridge, Imperial College
London, and the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign.
The ten-year investment program will
fund research into advanced materials and
is expected to support 25 new academic
posts, along with 100 post-graduate researchers and 80 post-doctoral fellows.
This coalition Government is committed to putting innovation and research
at the very heart of its growth agenda,
said the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer
George Osborne. We are ensuring the
UK maintains it competitive edge in science and we are creating an environment
where innovation can ourish. Thats why
top businesses such as BP are investing in
the UK and supporting our world-leading
universities in delivering cutting edge research. And as an MP for the North West
of England I particularly welcome the fact
that BPs International Centre for Advanced Materials will be based at Manchester University.
Advanced materials and coatings will
be vital in nding, producing and processing energy safely and efciently in the
years ahead, as energy producers work at
unprecedented depths, pressures and temperatures, and as reneries, manufacturing plants and pipeline operators seek ever
better ways to combat corrosion and deploy new materials to improve their operations, said Bob Dudley, BP group chief
executive. Manchester has world-leading

capabilities and facilities in materials and

was chosen after a global search to act as
the hub of the center, working with other
world-class university departments. We
look forward to deepening further the
very productive partnership that already
exists between our professionals in BP and
the academic team at Manchester.
The BP-ICAM hub will be based in
dedicated premises which will use stateof-the-art tools to support this major international collaboration. The BP-ICAM
will carry out research into seven primary
areas of direct interest to industry: structural materials, smart coatings, functional
materials, catalysis, membranes, energy
storage and energy harvesting. Initial
focus will be on: structural materials, such
as new metal alloys and composites for
deepwater production, and high pressure/high temperature reservoirs; smart
coatings, for increased protection from the
elements and improving a structures usable life, protecting pipelines and offshore
platforms from corrosion; and membranes and other structures, for separation, ltration and purication of oil and
gas, water and chemicals in production,
rening and biofuels processes and petrochemicals.
This should allow us to change the
way we build, operate and maintain our
equipment; manufacture cleaner and more
efcient products; develop imaginative energy sources and then store that energy for
when it is needed most; and increase the
use of lighter metals and composites for
structures and products, said Dudley.
The universities will have academic
freedom to publish fundamental science
resulting from the BP-ICAMs work, while
commercial agreements will cover specic
technological applications of the work.
BP works with some 200 universities

In 2011, approximately 12,000

painters attended training courses at the
RCCs worldwide with global demand
constantly increasing. In the region of Asia
Pacic, more than 2,000 painters from
various bodyshops participate in professional training courses at one of the RCCs
each year.
These days, painters need more than
traditional training. For this reason, we
offer training courses at the RCCs that
focus on both the quality and the efciency of the seminar participants, said
Ken Marshall, head of automotive renish coatings in Asia Pacic for BASF.
BASF is expanding its network of
RCCs around the world. In Italy, an RCC

Industrial Nanotech awarded

project for skylight insulation
using Nansulate coatings
Industrial Nanotech, Inc., said its patented
Nansulate translucent thermal insulation
and protective coating was specied into a
recently awarded renovation project in
Miami, Fla. The nanotechnology-based
coating, which insulates while allowing

through visible light and providing UV resistance, will be used for skylight insulation in the Caribbean Marketplace
Renovation Project.
The company said Nansulate coating
technology is well suited for use as skylight
insulation because it provides an effective
way to reduce heat transfer through glass
or plexiglass, while also allowing transmission of approximately 92 percent of
visible light, as tested on pane glass, and
providing important UV resistance.
Industrial Nanotechs coatings have
been used in skylight applications at the
Tampa Port Authority, The Vernon Bank
in Louisiana, and at the Frost Art Museum at Florida International University.
Skylights are often used in architecture to
allow in natural daylight, which reduces
the need for interior lighting. Unfortunately, without the protective advantage
that Nansulate offers, they can act as a
problem area for heat loss and gain, therefore increasing cooling and heating costs.
Another issue is glare and harmful UV
rays streaming through the glass, which
are all problems that Nansulate coating
technology helps solve the company said.
The return of the Caribbean Marketplace marks renewed efforts to boost
tourism for Miami while preserving Little
Haitis history. The only building in South
Florida to win the American Institute of
Architects national honor award, the
structure was designed by Haitian-American Charles Harrison Pawley and inspired by the famed Iron Market in
Port-au-Prince.
In other news, Industrial Nanotech,
Inc. has entered into an agreement with
Anticorrosion Protective Systems Sdn Bhd

The relationship with APS as
our exclusive distributor in
Malaysia will strengthen Nansulates presence in many manufacturing sectors, and
particularly oil and gas, said Francesca
Crolley, vice president of business development for Industrial Nanotech, Inc.
Their company has been working with
Petronas and has secured an offshore trial
for our Nansulate Translucent PT coating
for use to control corrosion under insulation (CUI) by providing the combined
benets of thermal insulation and corrosion prevention.
This is the same product that has been
used by Galp Energia for two large ongoing projects at their renery in Portugal
over an oil pipeline and fuel oil storage
tanks. Nansulate coatings have been continuing to gain ground in this industry sec-
tor and it continues to develop new relationships with companies such as

EcoPetrol in Colombia.
Malaysia has progressed from being a
producer of raw materials, such as tin and
rubber, in the 1970s to being a multi-sector economy that grew on average 7.3
percent between 1985 and 1995. After the

BASF designers receive red dot award for

presentation of automotive color trends
BASF Coatings and the design agency Are We Designer are
joint winners of the red dot award: communication design
for the design of their global automotive color trend book.
The red dot award is a worldwide design awards. More than
6,000 works from 43 countries
were submitted in the communication design category alone.
The designers at BASF Coatings impressed customers in the
automotive industry and the jury with their portrayal of automotive color trends in their trend book.
Every year, BASF Coatings publishes a limited-edition global
trend book exclusively for automotive customers. Automotive
designers use it as a source of information and inspiration. The
trend book describes the social movements and developments
researched by the designers. The resulting color trends are illustrated with original coated color samples. This is the seventh
time that BASF has collaborated on this book with Cologne,
Germany-based design agency Are We Designer.
The challenge with the trend book was not just to portray
the complex trends in a comprehensible way and bridge the
gap to the associated colors.
Putting colors and their fine nuances on paper is difficult.
The effect of our coatings is based on the interaction of color and
the surface it is applied to, said BASF designer Mark Gutjahr.
Therefore, the color section was completed with individually

in support of a nuclear plants Life Extension Program.
The concrete, epoxy lined spent fuel
basin and handling ponds were relined
underwater by nuclear divers as dewatering was not a viable option.
The fuel basin contained fuel, radioactive components and radioactive debris accumulated over the course of many years of
plant operation. The concrete fuel basins
epoxy coating system had deteriorated to a
condition which warranted relining. Coating deciencies found with the original
epoxy coating included blistering, delamination, cracking and mechanical damage.
The third phase of the project consisted of approximately 300 square meters
of inspection, preparation and coatings
application. The strategic use of nuclear
divers proved to be a safe, efcient, and
coated samples that show automotive designers what is possible.

On the basis of these suggestions, the specific car colors can be
developed in collaboration with the automotive companies.
With the red dot award, we have won one of the worlds
most important design awards, said Dr. Wolfgang Reckordt,
head of marketing for automotive OEM coatings Europe at BASF.
In 2011, we won the Materialica Design + Technology Award
and a prize in the Automotive Brand Contest for our color innovation called XFine. This shows that we are on the right track
with our color developments and the way in which we are
preparing and illustrating them for the automotive industry.
The North Rhine-Westphalia Design Center (formerly Industrieform e.V.) has been rewarding outstanding design since 1954.

Drr installs a total of 155 painting robots at

Volkswagen in Bratislava
Machinery and plant engineer Drr has installed a total of 155
painting and application robots at VW in Bratislava in 2011 and
2012. Forty-ve robots are for a new paint shop at the Slovakian auto plant. Drr has installed another 110 robots to modernize two existing paint lines, on which VW will be able to paint
both the body exterior and interior fully automatically in the future; the lines are due to be brought into operation by June 2012.
The robot orders for VW Bratislava are worth 36 million.
Besides the painting robots, Drr is also supplying the complete application and paint supply systems, featuring high-tech
products such as electrostatic high-speed rotating atomizers,
paint-saving color changers, and software. The scope of supply
also includes robots for welded seam sealing and for applying
underbody protection. In addition to the luxury SUVs Volkswagen Touareg and Audi Q7, bodies for the Porsche Cayenne, the
new compacts Volkswagen up!, KODA Citigo, and SEAT Mii
are produced in Bratislava. An increase in production capacity to
400,000 vehicles is planned for this year.
We won the order from VW on our good technical performance in terms of quality of nish, paint consumption, and
total cost of ownership, said Ralf Dieter, Drr AGs CEO. Bottom line, our technology increases production efciency in
Bratislava measurably.
The Application Technology division, in which Drr concentrates its robot and application systems activities, aims to grow
its sales revenues from 407 million to over 500 million in
2012. Sales were already increased by 52 percent in 2011. The
driver is the buoyant demand in the automotive industry, which
has continued so far in 2012. Among the main investment motives in the automobile industry are the need for additional production capacity and the increasing automation of the painting
process. For the group as a whole, Drr expects sales revenues in
excess of 2 billion in 2012.

problem and ACA is strategically positioned to facilitate this effort.
As a partner in the New Market Export Initiative, ACA will offer webinars
about the initiative and feature speakers
from U.S. Commercial Services at its
meetings to highlight the advantages this
initiative offers to companies.
Through the partnership, participating
members will be able to:
Receive assistance from U.S. Commercial Service in creating an international business plan for entry or
expansion into a target market, including legal and regulatory documentation and requirements;
Receive country commercial guides,
trade data and analysis, and customized market research;
Receive assistance in locating potential partners, buyers, and sales representatives in a target market;
Participate in trade missions organized and led by U.S. Commercial
24 | Coatings World
Service ofcials to allow companies

to meet distributors, government and
industry ofcials, as well as prospective customers; and
Gain access to U.S. government trade
advocacy for foreign government
procurement bids with direct support
from U.S. ofcials stationed overseas.

ShawCor to provide protective

coatings for the Linea 5
Pipeline Project in Mexico
ShawCor Ltd. announced that its
pipecoating division, Bredero Shaw, has
received contracts with a value in excess
of $40 million from the consortium between Dragados Offshore and Swiber
Offshore Construction and from
Tubacero S.A. de C.V. to provide pipeline
coatings and related products and services
for the Linea 5 Pipeline Project operated
by Petrleos Mexicanos (PEMEX).
The Linea 5 Project will consist of approximately 77 km of 36 pipe to be installed offshore between the Plataforma
Enlace Litoral and the Terminal Maritima
de Dos Bocas in the Bay of Campeche,
Mexico. Natural gas will be transported
from the Litoral eld to the terminal in
Dos Bocas for supply to the PEMEX dis-
tribution network in Tabasco, Mexico.

The contracts involve coating the pipe
with fusion bond epoxy (FBE) anticorrosion coating at Bredero Shaw Mexicos
Monterrey plant and the supply of heat
shrinkable joint protection sleeves manufactured by ShawCors Canusa-CPS division. Lastly, Bredero Shaw Mexico will
coat the pipe with concrete weight coating using its Compression Coat Technology (CCT) plant in Coatzacoalcos where
anode installation will also be completed.
Coating for this project is scheduled to
begin during the third quarter of 2012.
Bredero Shaws CCT concrete coatings
are the pipeline industrys leading coating
system for projects requiring rapid mobilization or the provision of concrete coatings near the right-of-way. CCT concrete
coating systems are designed to provide
negative buoyancy and mechanical protection for pipelines in submarine environments, wet environments or rocky and
rough terrain congurations. Compression Coat uses a side-wrap application
process, making it ideal for both small and
large diameter pipelines.

AkzoNobel reports eight

percent rise in Q2 revenue
Akzo Nobel N.V. reported an eight percent

with the same period in 2011, mainly driven
by pricing actions to offset higher raw material costs and currency effects the company
said. The EBITDA for the second quarter
was eight percent higher at 593 million.
Decorative paints achieved a revenue increase of six percent in the second quarter,
mainly due to favorable price/mix effects and

In the second quarter, PPG delivered
the highest quarterly earnings per share in
company history as a result of continued
execution, strong cost discipline and effective cash deployment, said Charles Bunch,
PPG chairman and CEO. These record
earnings were achieved despite signicantly
weaker European and Latin American currency exchange rates and growth that varied by region and end-use market.
Performance coatings segment sales for
the quarter were $1.2 billion, up one percent versus the prior year. The aerospace
business delivered strong growth in all regions, and U.S. architectural coatings sales
were seasonally stronger than the rst
quarter and improved by mid-single-digit
percentages over a difcult prior-year comparison period that included channel
stocking for the new Olympic One product. Protective and marine coatings volumes were muted, with gains in protective
coatings offset by lower marine demand.
Automotive renish volumes declined due
to lower European demand and customer
destocking. Segment earnings for the quarter of $204 million were level with the
prior-year period.
Industrial coatings segment sales for the
quarter were $1.1 billion, an increase of
$24 million, or two percent, versus the
prior year. Segment volumes grew by more
than 20 percent in the United States, including strong automotive OEM (original
equipment manufacturer) coatings business
performance. Growth in emerging regions
continued but was mixed by end-use market, including in Asia where strong automotive OEM coatings results outpaced

in mature markets, particularly in Europe.

In performance coatings, revenue increased 12 percent, supported by margin
management, acquisitions and currency effects. EBITDA was up 25 percent compared
with the previous year, further supported by
improvements in operational efciency. Volume declined, although there was signicant
variability between individual activities.
AkzoNobel continued to see ination
in the overall raw materials portfolio, although less than last year. The main driver
of input cost ination is TiO2. In the second quarter, the company saw an increase
in supply from China and a reduction in
global demand. However, in total, the
company continues to expect an increased
average cost for the year.
The overall performance in our second quarter results is solid given the increasingly
difcult
economic
environment, said CEO Ton Bchner. In
my rst few months as CEO, I have spent
a great deal of time with our customers,
employees and shareholders, and have also
visited many of our factories around the
world. My initial observations are that we
have solid businesses and many strong
market positions. The opportunity remains
to increase return on capital, cash generation and margins, which is why the immediate priority for me and the leadership
team is performance improvement.

declined by about 10 percent. Segment earnings for the quarter
were $143 million, an increase of $28 million from the prior year.
Architectural coatings - EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) segment
sales for the quarter of $601 million decreased $10 million, or two percent, versus the prior year due to lower volumes
partly offset by price. Currency translation negatively impacted sales by 10 percent but was offset by sales from the
Dyrup acquisition completed in January
2012. Despite mid-single-digit segment
volume declines, segment earnings grew
by $14 million versus the prior years second quarter to reach $64 million, aided by
acquisition performance and continued
cost-management actions.
Overall, our sales in local currencies
grew in the quarter, led by continued strong
organic growth in North America, Bunch
said.Business in emerging regions also expanded, but results were mixed by end-use
market. Organic growth in North America
and emerging regions was comparable to
rst quarter performance; however, these
gains were partly offset by a further, fairly
broad step-down in European demand.
These regional variations were evident in
nearly all our global businesses, which resulted in an overall attening of our worldwide volume growth rate.
Aerospace and automotive manufacturing remained our strongest end-use
markets, delivering excellent growth, and
recent acquisitions aided sales and earnings results, Bunch said. CW

Market Reports
Kusumgar, Nerlfi, & Growney says global

coatings market worth $120 billion
According to an upcoming study by the

consulting rm Kusumgar, Nerl, &
Growney, global consumption of coatings
in 2012 is projected to come in at 67 billion pounds worth $120 billion. Volume
has bounced back from the recession year
of 2009 with the Asia-Pacic region leading the way. However, growth in 2012
slowed owing to global and local economic uncertainties. Coating volume in
2012 is up 15 percent since the 2009
global recession but coating value is up by
about one-third largely because of the escalation in raw material prices.
The Asia-Pacic Region is the largest
consumer of coatings taking 42 percent of
the volume in 2012. China accounts for
over one-half of the regions consumption
with growth now moderating from the
rapid expansion of the past. India is now
about 15 percent of the regional volume
and continues to increase its share.
Europe is the second largest market for
coatings taking 27 percent of the global
volume in 2012. Consumption in 2012
was hurt by the regions economic crisis.
North America was an outlet for one-fth
of the global coating volume and has mature growth prospects. The South and
Central America region was eight percent
of the global demand in 2012. Growth in
the region slowed in 2012 but is forecast
to grow modestly in the future.
The above information will be part of
Kusumgar, Nerl & Growneys current
multiclient study, Global Paint & Coatings, 2013-2018. The study is available

till 2017
Revenue within the US automotive coatings manufacturing market has been forecast to grow at a compound annual
growth rate (CAGR) of 2.7percent over
34 | Coatings World
the next ve years, to reach a total market value of $1.5 billion in 2017, according to new research published by
Companiesandmarkets.com.
Over the ve years to 2012 the industry
didnt have the best of times, with revenue
falling at a CAGR of 0.7 percent, however
this is expected to turn around in 2012 with
a predicted CAGR of 3.5 percent to help
bump the market up to $1.3 billion.
The recession has had a big impact on
the US automotive coatings manufacturing industry, with consumers tending to
stay clear of nonessential vehicle alterations and new vehicle purchases, hurting
demand for automotive coatings.
Things took a turn for the worse in
2009 though, as US vehicle sales fell to
historic lows and motor vehicle manufacturing revenue plummeted at an alarming
rate of 36.5 percent.
However, the industry looks to have
turned their fortunes around with demand
being encouraged by several new styles of
automobile coatings, including coatings
with ultraviolet light-cured nishes and
coatings that incorporate nanotechnology.
Water-based coatings are the future of
the US automotive coatings manufacturing market and are expected to boost demand for coating customization, given
their ease of use and lower potential cost
once the technology is widely adopted.
GIA says growth in end-use

markets drives the pigments
dyes industry
The market for pigments and dyes responds 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 Industry Analysts Inc.
Aided by a choice for brighter aesthetics and higher pigment concentration, the
pigments industry is expected to propel
ahead at a steady rate. The industry 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, meanwhile, 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 and values, 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 registered positive
growth in 2010, albeit by a small margin.
The market, however, is expected to post
signicant 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 industries. 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 further drive prices upwards. Mounting energy costs would also considerably
impact global pigments consumption.
Asia-Pacic 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-Pacic region, driven mainly by stringent environmental compliance issues. China will
continue to be the single largest and fastest
growing market. Over the years, China has

terms. Given the ability to meet exact enduser needs, high performance pigments,
such as quinacridones, represent a highly
potential market. Specialty pigments also
represent a promising market due to their
eco-friendly characteristics, besides their
high performance. Nevertheless, traditional and classical products would continue to occupy leading positions in the
organic pigments market; and low priced
products would gain in volume terms for
applications, such as printing inks, which
require lower colorant standards. Growth
in the organic pigments market, however,
would be limited by their higher price as
compared to inorganic products, and limited capability to provide opacity. China
has emerged as a leader in the production
of dyes. Dyes are widely used in China,
South Korea, India, and Taiwan.
Metallic pigments are expected to register a strong wave of growth owing to
the rise in popularity of colored varieties.
Eco-friendly products constitute a key
growth area for the manufacturers of
Market Reports

dyestuffs. Gradually maturing production
technology and presence of strong downstream customer base within the country
have been propelling demand for pigments
in the country over the recent years.
India is expected to be the second
largest market in terms of demand for organic pigments and dyes. Indian dyestuff
industry witnessed signicant growth in
the past decade due to government concessions in the form of tax and excise concessions to small-sized establishments. In
addition, the industry witnessed export
opportunities, subsequent to the shuttingdown of several facilities in the US and
Europe, following the enforcement of
strict pollution control regulations. Europe trails behind Asia-Pacic, while the
US constitutes the next largest market.
Segment-wise, Inorganic Pigments represents the largest segment in volume and
value terms. Organic Pigments represents
the fastest growing segment in volume
metallic pigments. Customers

are increasingly demanding
products that are eco-friendly
with small carbon footprints, as
a result of which growth of waterborne
technology is likely to persist, along with
applications, such as powder coatings,
that reduce waste and emissions. Demand for metallic effects that combine
functionality, color, and travel, are also
increasing. Brighter prospects lie ahead
for metallic pigment producers, as automotive industry starts rebounding and
market conditions stabilize.
The global pigments and dyes industry
was characterized by a series of consolidations in the recent years. Market players, in order to capture market share,
revitalize assets, expand sales network,
and enhance technology, resorted to consolidations. Mounting concerns over environmental factors, and implementation
of strict regulations across the world are
likely to result in market consolidation in
the coming years. CW

Jotun Builds First Brazilian Factory

he Jotun Group, of Sandefjord, Norway,
is constructing its rst Brazilian factory
at Itaipuau, in Rio De Janeiro state
also its rst in Latin Americato better serve
the growing maritime coatings market there.
The Brazilian maritime coatings market as a
whole is estimated at about $45 million, according to Ferran Bueno, the managing director
of Jotun, in So Gonalo, across the bay from
Rio de Janeiro. The aim is to have strong
growth in marine and protective coatings business in the country, he said.
The new factory will produce 10 million
liters per year of marine coatings and protective
products once completed in late 2013, but plans
exist to increase production ve-fold if market
demand presents itself, a Jotun executive told
the Brazilian press in early August. For now,
production at the new facility is expected to be
consumed entirely in Brazil, Bueno said. The
company maintains ofces and a warehouse
nearby in So Gonalo.
Brazil has been expanding its maritime eet
as well as its oil and gas rig eet, inspired by recent discoveries of pre-salt oil reserves off the
shore of Santos state, adjacent to Rio de Janeiro.
Onshore and offshore equipment involved in
sub-salt oil production require special corrosion
protection coatings.
The
Associao
Brasileira de Corroso, the national corrosion
association, recently published ndings that the
application of appropriate corrosion protection
in Brazilian industry saves 75 percent of the cost
of replacement due to corrosion.
Jotun in 2008 signed a contract with state oil
company Petrobras Transpetro unit to supply
about 250,000 liters of dry dock coatings per
year for eet maintenance. Transpetro has a eet
of 52 vessels, and 26 more have been ordered.
Brazilian law requires Petrobras to maintain a
70 percent local content percentage within supply chain requirements.
In June of last year, Petrobras awarded GE

A recent study by Universal Consensus indicated that Petrobras plans to spend $224.7 billion in their supply chain during the 2011 to
2015 time period, as the company aims to triple
its oil production by 2020 from its current 2.1
million barrels per day. Petrobras latest new
business plan, in July 2011, called for 16 oating production and ofoading platforms and/or
modules and 28 offshore drilling rigs, which are
currently being re-tendered, the consultant reports. By 2017, the company expects to have at
least 63 drilling rigs, and will continue to operate the worlds largest offshore rig eet.
Apart from oil and gas-related vessels, Brazil
is expanding its navy. In January, BAE Systems,
based in Arlington, Va., won a 133 million contract to supply three ocean patrol vessels to
Brazil, along with ancillary support services. The
contract includes a manufacturing license that
will permit additional vessels of the same class
to be built in Brazil, BAE indicates. CW

Europe
Bracing For A Double-Dip Recession

by Sean Milmo
European Correspondent
milmocw@rodpub.com
uch of Europe is now in the midst of
an economic downturn, which is
likely to plunge the region into its second recession in four years.
But most of Europes large and even
medium-sized coating companies, as well as
many of their raw material suppliers, seem to
have the nancial strength to cope with it.
The coatings sector in most of Europe has recovered sufciently from the debacle of the
2008 nancial crisis to regain margins in the
face of rising raw material costs. As a result
they have been able to build up adequate cash
reserves to see them through further economic
trouble. Many of their raw material suppliers
have been performing even better.
The 17-country eurozone forming the core
of the region is looking like it will move into a
double-dip recession this quarter, which economists believe will continue into next year.
Already the UK, a non-euro member of the
European Union, has entered a new recession.
Germany has been showing slight growth while
France has been atlining. The economies of
Italy and Spain have been shrinking while
Greece, whose economy faces catastrophe, could
dive by seven percent this year.
The economic outlook for Europe looks relatively grim at the moment, said Alan Eastwood,
senior economist at the UK Chemical Industries
Association (CIA) and chairman of economic
forecasting task force of the Brussels-based European Chemical Industry Council (Cec).
But chemical companies, including coatings
producers and their raw material suppliers are
much better prepared than they were for the
2008 crisis, Eastwood said. Theyve been battening down the hatches and preparing for a
long haul through possible further nancial difculties ahead.
In the rst ve months of this year production of chemicals in Europe, including that of
coatings and other downstream chemical seg-
After the recession

of 2008 coatings
producers are in a
better position to
weather the
impending
economic storm.
42 | Coatings World
ments, declined by an average 2.1 percent, according Cec.

Output of coatings and inks showed from
January to May an even bigger drop of six percent, which was 5.2 percent lower than the level
in May 2011, according to Cec. Without a recovery in demand in the second half of this year,
coatings and inks output will return to the same
level prior to the post-2008 recovery.
On the other hand the Cefic figures reveal
that prices of coatings and inks went up by an
average six percent in the first five months of
this year, following a 5.7 percent average rise
in 2011.
What we have been seeing in the European
coatings sector are lower volumes with higher
prices, which is a response to high raw material
prices but may be hard to maintain much
longer, said one UK-based analyst.
In fact there were signs of an easing in both
the prices of raw materials and coatings and
other downstream products in the summer.
Our customers are reducing their inventories,
in expectation of falling prices due to declining
raw material costs, said Kurt Bock, chairman
of BASF, both a coatings and raw materials producer, after the publication of the companys
second quarter results in July.
Many European coatings companies have
adopted a strategy of increasing cash ow by focusing on margins rather than sales volumes. In
many cases margins are being maintained
through cost-cutting and restructuring programs
in European operations.
Not much of the profits from relatively
strong margins are going into investment,
said Paul Hodges, chairman of International
eChem (IeC), a London-based consultancy.
September 2012
Europe
Instead they are being used to build up

cash reserves. A lot of coatings and other
companies are still extremely nervous
about the future. They dont want to
have to rely on the banks at a time of
credit shortages.
Coatings producers are also targeting
higher value-added segments in the search
for higher margins in Europe, such as specialist niches in architectural and industrial coatings.
In the UK while coatings output has
been sliding in the post-2008 period,
paints producers have been maintaining in
recent year a gross value added (GVA)
revenue minus input and raw material
costs of around 30 percent of turnover.
Coatings companies have been able
to take advantage in the UK of sectors like
automobile manufacture which has been
doing well through higher exports and offers opportunities to suppliers to gain improved margins, said Eastwood.
The latest second quarter and half-year
results of European coatings companies
show evidence of the nancial benets of
existing or previous cost cutting initiatives. But they also indicate how much
paint producers have been striving to take
advantage of variations in economic conditions in Europe.
With the help of additional supplies
from the opening of a new state-of-the-art
factory at Sandefjord in its home country
of Norway, Jotun achieved record decorative paint sales in the rst four months of
the year in Sweden which in the rst half
had had one of the fastest GDP growth
rates in Western Europe.
Kingsher Group of the UK, one of Europes largest DIY retail chains, has been
increasing sales in its depressed domestic
market during its second quarter by
launching a marketing campaign to persuade customers to switch to internal repair projects during the wet summer. In
Russia, whose energy-based economy has
been boosted by continuing high oil and
gas prices, the companys sales went up by
19 percent.
Tikkurila of Finland pushed up its
sales in Russia by 15 percent in the rst
half with operating prot in the country
jumping by 60 percent. In Central Eastern
Europe, in which its main market is
September 2012
Poland, sales and operating prot both

went up by 10 percent. In its home market of Finland, the company, mainly a decorative paints producer, managed to raise
margins to almost 16 percent on an improved operating prot of 9.7 percent despite a slowdown in the economy.
In the second quarter Tikkurilas group
margin rose to just under 16 percent after
total operating prot went up by 21 percent, while in the rst it increased by 15
percent on a sales rise of 7.7 percent.
With the help of cost-cutting measures,
the company is expecting to achieve at
least last years operating prot of 61
million ($76 million) on 2011 sales of
644 million especially since raw material
pressures are easing. The situation with
raw materials (costs) seems to have stabilized, said Erkki Jaervinen, Tikkurilas
president and chief executive.
AkzoNobel reported at revenue in
decorative paints in Europe during the
second quarter due to weak demand
across the whole region, particularly in

the south. It also said that in its performance coatings segment there had been soft
or lower demand in Europe for wood nishes, automotive renish paints and powder coatings.
Like most multinationals, AkzoNobel
was able to offset falls in sales and prots
in Europe with increases in high growth
emerging markets. It blamed an eight percent drop in earnings before interest, tax,
depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA)
in decorative paints on a total sales rise of
six percent on the poor European performance. But in performance coatings,
despite feeble European demand, total
revenue rose by 12 percent with EBITDA
up 25 percent.
Smaller coating producers, dependent
on national or regional markets in Europe, have less exibility. They will have
a tougher time during the impending recession. But even they have become more
nancially resilient in recent years. CW

Product Leaders: How did they get there?

by Phil Phillips, PhD
Contributing Editor
phillips@chemarkconsulting.net
homas Alva Edison epitomized the socalled lonely inventor. Edison had
1,300 inventions and 1,100 patents to
his credit. However, few people today realize
that his many invention gifts to mankind pale in
comparison to just one of his inventions: The invention of the process that underpins todays
product leadership.
In 1879, Edison pioneered what has become
the industrial worlds rst effective product development process, a means of generating invention after invention and applying those
inventions in useful, commercial products. His
Menlo Park, N.J. lab became the model for the
labs of todays product leaders such as Apple.
Edison was a cheerleader! He would cheer his
bright assistants for their obsession to create

products that incite a passionate customer response. He would celebrate employees obsession
on breaking new ground, on cracking the code of
perplexing concepts. As Im certain you remember, it was Edison who said, Genius is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.
At the same time, Edison would be disgusted
at the sad state of product development at many
companies today. Too often, companies forsake
invention for its poorer cousins: renement,
repackaging, and reformulation. Many products
exiting research and development today come
tagged as new and improved, but they dont
deserve either label. Instead of exciting customers, they turn them off.
What wakes customers up, and would have
delighted Edison, is product leadership, a company displaying the ability and determination to
make products that customers recognize as superior and products that deliver real benet and
performance improvements.
Todays product leaders nd that customers
have a much broader perception of performance.

Strategies & Analysis
They crave a mix of both tangible and experiential benets. They expect the performance of breakthrough products to
move their rational and their emotional
selves. For instance, months before Apple
was in a position to offer for sale their IPad thousands of unsolicited orders poured
in. Buyers of Apple I-Pads buy more than a
machine, they buy a new life style. Moviegoers wait with wild anticipation for any
movie directed by Steven Spielberg who
goes beyond supplying fresh concepts and
stimulating experiences. He has actually
changed our culture.
Edison began by creating an inspiring
vision of each new product. He strongly
believed that he had to fuel his organization with a dream of questionable
achievements. Much like product leaders
today, Edison saw breakthrough products
as the sustenance his venture needed to
keep on working.
Paralleling his visions, Edison harnessed
the motivating power of ambitious targets.
He wasnt the rst one to create a lightemitting device. Contemporaries had engineered products that would shine for a few
moments. But Edisons target was not a
light bulb; it was the ability to light a building or even a town. That lofty target channeled his creativity. He then worked
backwards from the goal to gure out the
steps required to achieve it. Working rightto-left, as we call it today, is a pervasive
characteristic of successful product leaders.
Edison new that a revolutionary invention rarely sells itself. He knew that
market cultivation must go hand in hand
with breakthrough products.
A famous example is of Remington. It
developed the typewriter in 1874 and it
took 12 years for the larger market to catch
on to this unfamiliar device. Every breakthrough product develops sales demand at
a natural rate. Academics refer to it as the
rate of diffusion of innovation and it follows a S-shaped curveslow at rst, then
fast, and then leveling off. The challenge for
product leaders is to PUSH the rate of diffusion beyond what is natural and common, to get demand to climb faster, earlier.

model and Apples and Spielbergs common core strengths were to have buyers
of their product output, pre-sold as a
brand, so much so that before their next
product is offered it is already a success.
In this part of the article we want to
discuss the successful product leader and
his/her activities.
Product leadership always involves a
gamble and these bets product leaders
place can be large or small. The test is
where to place the bets. Where to invest
your talents? Which projects to have others work on? How much funding should
you allow? All these considerations knowing full well none of them are sure bets
and they compete for a limited supply of
investment dollars.
Within larger companies each project
competes for attention and tries to make a
compelling case, but no company can
fund every idea or project it considers.
Remember, large corporations are
made up of small companies vying for
project/product approvals up-the-line.
Small companies have very similar issuestheyre normally rife with ideas but
with limited resources to fund them all.
While small- to medium-sized companies sometimes envy the larger corporations and their massive resources,
successful large companies create smaller
unitssometimes smaller companies
because they know that governing down
bureaucracy can exponentially help the
organization. Therefore, small- and midsized companies have the ability to run
faster to a market than does a large one
simply because the bureaucracy of the big
boys many times trips them up in
tempo/time-to-market.
Successful fast commercialization of
products by astute managers who recognize that small many times is better, literally reorganize their company to
emphasize that the cohesiveness and team
Esprit de Corps of being small and mobile, really works. There are companies
who made successful strides in increased
new product opportunity attainment
through literally spinning off small units
into separate corporations, while holding
51 percent controlling share and giving
the units president autonomy to bring
his/her company to above average sales
and prot growth in the industrys shortest amount of time.
Structure vs. process

Generic operating procedures and
structured processes do not produce
winning products unless they are designed to play into the drivers of individual behavior. Two such drivers are a
thirst for problem solving and a distaste
for bureaucracy.
Does not mean that structure and
process have little to no role in product
development? No it doesnt! Product leaders create exible structures and robust
processes.
Structures that allow resources to ow
to the most promising opportunities and
robust processes that enable people to ex
their minds without creating major disruptions. The product leaders we observed applied several commonsense
values to accomplish this cohesiveness.
Values
I. Maintain peoples excitement by rst
establishing well-founded challenges with
clearly dened outcomes and tight deadlines with achievement milestones where
celebration of intermediate victories motivates to desire even more success.
II. Dont dominate or over control!
Create business structures that liberate.
The example of a corporation breaking
people up into operational teams, or small
companies, by establishing separate corporations where their CEOs act as entrepreneurs and not divisional caretakers,
really worked well.
III. Stress procedures that pay the
largest dividends. Work cross-functionally
and pay close attention to the later development stages. At that point a leadership
team can apply itself to understanding
root causes of glitches and then be in position to map their processes and workows backwards to learn what created
time delays and misdirection.
Finally, product leaders have learned
that if they cut their development cycle
time in half, they can get twice as many
shots at development targets only half the
distance away.

The Wall of Your Trade Secret Vault

is Made of Paper
By Steve McDaniel, JD PhD
Technology Litigators
protective wall of papera series
of documents including agreements
and restrictive covenants to protect
your trade secretsis your rst line of defense against the techno-thief (The Wall).
Kinda like a lock on your house, The Wall
will help you to avoid theft by relatively
honest people. If litigation is inevitable
against the not-so-honest sorts, then your
Wall will serve as concrete evidence in court
showing you took reasonable and proper
steps to protect your trade secrets.
Your Wall has two main goals, the rst
being to thwart the misappropriation and
disclosure of your trade secrets. Just as importantly though, and sometimes not as
obvious, it serves to strongly discourage
employees from sharing unwanted trade
secrets from their previous employment, an
inadvertent act for which you may get
sued. Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs),
non-competition agreements, or a form of
restrictive covenant, and exit interview
documents, among others, will bolster your
credibility in the workplace and in court.
We will focus on these workhorse documents, but there are a ton of others that deserve and should get proper attention in a
professional trade secret audit.
A nondisclosure agreement is an agreement of condentiality. An employee who
signs an NDA is required to do his best to
preserve and protect your, or others, say
strategic partners, valuable information
both during and after the employment. An
employee is legally obligated to still protect
and preserve the secrecy of trade secrets
even if he no longer works for the company
to whom the trade secrets belong.
Non-competition agreements, the most
commonly encountered type of restrictive
covenant, are way trickier than NDAs. Some
states at out do not allow non-competition
48 | Coatings World
agreements to be enforced. After all they are,

in many regards, an illegal restraint on trade
in a market that prides itself on openness
and employee mobility. If a state does allow
non-competition agreements, to be enforceable an employer must have a good reason,
such as a clear business purpose, to justify
using the restrictive covenant.
There are a few criteria involved in a
non-competition agreement that merit closer
examination. First is duration. How long can
you restrict a former employee from seeking
work at a competitors business or from
starting his own competing business? The
courts have recognized a reasonable window
of one to two years as a standard. Next is geography. Whether you are a multinational
corporation or just a midsize business will
determine the geographical limits where a
departed employee can seek future work.
Usually you can only restrict a departed employee to seek work in a geographical area
where your company conducts business. Finally, there is subject. It is only reasonable to
restrict an employee to seek work in a subject area in which he actually worked. It is
unreasonable, for example, to restrict a research biochemist from joining another
company as a chief nancial ofcer. Keep in
mind that you may be required to pay a departed and restricted employee if you wish
to keep him out of the work force.
Lets look at a pretend case of highly
specialized employees coming from two
competitors businesses looking to work for
you and watch The Wall in action. We will
call them Bonnie and Clyde. Both maintain a
duty of condence to their old bosses not to
disclose the trade secrets they learned on their
former jobs. On top of this, Clyde comes to
you having signed a non-competition agreement at his old job. In the course of employment, your concern with non-disclosure
agreements and non-competition agreements
should begin before formally hiring any new
employees. Depending on their understanding of the law, Bonnie and Clyde might be
unaware of the implied duty of condence
not to disclose condential information regardless of whether they signed non-disclosure agreements at their old jobs. It would be
prudent to remind them that any condential information gained during their previous
employment should not be used while at
your company. Bringing condential or proprietary information to your company from
their previous jobs can get you in trouble.
You need to conduct a little background
screening on your potential new employees;
screening for limitations due to contractual
obligations is always a good policy. If Clyde
is restricted by agreement not to work for
youyou are a competitor of his previous
companythen you will have to wait to hire
him when the non-competition agreement no
longer applies, or place him in a position at
which he is not reasonably restricted. If Clyde
is not restricted, you are free to hire him. In
this case, lets say that your background
screening found Clyde did sign a non-competition agreement but it no longer applies.
Once youve decided to hire Bonnie and
Clyde, they need to sign non-disclosure
agreements stating something to the effect
of protecting and preserving your trade secretsthat is, not to disclose them, during
or after their employment. Assuming they
will perform highly specialized work and
will have access to numerous trade secrets,
specic language tailored to the nature of
their work should be added to a basic
NDA. On top of just obtaining Bonnies
and Clydes signatures, make sure they understand the language of the agreement,
allow them to and recommend they pass it
by their own lawyer, and address any questions they may have. Even though Bonnie
and Clyde are bound by an implicit duty of
condence not to disclose any proprietary
information, a written, express agreement
is always the best policy. This way the two
parties know what is expected during the
employment; it also provides concrete evidence should you have to go to court.

operates allows for non-competition agreeSeptember 2012

ments, you may wish to have them sign one.

Because non-competition agreements are
very contentious, evidenced by their outright
prohibition in some states, they should only
be reserved for employees with whom trade
secret misappropriation or disclosure is a serious threat. Many companies have decided
that due to the likelihood of a court-challenge to a non-competition agreement, and
due to the very limited restrictions they provide, they are rarely worth the trouble.
The same non-disclosure procedures
should be applied to all employees at your
business, top to bottom. This includes temporary or part-time employees. These types
of employees, it turns out, make the risk of
disclosure that much greaterthey owe little to no loyalty to your company and frequently are on the move seeking new
employment. The short-term clerical worker
or part-time service worker should at least
sign a basic NDA acknowledging that the
nature of the work may involve access to
condential information. Chances are it is
unnecessary for these types of employees to
sign non-competition agreements.
Eventually the day will come when Bonnies and Clydes services are no longer necessary and it is time to terminate them as
employees. As a savvy business practice, and
a part of your program to protect your trade
secrets, you should conduct exit interviews
with departing employees, usually through
the human resources department or an outside rm. These interviews are much more
than a simple goodbye, wish you luck
kind of encounter. Protocols need to be followed to ensure the departing employee is
not leaving your company with trade secrets. An exit interview checklist should be
used to document the termination.
Whereas in the beginning you were concerned about them bringing unwanted
trade secrets to your company, you are now
concerned about the reverse situation
Bonnie and Clyde leaving your company,
seeking new employment, and stealing or
disclosing the trade secrets they learned
while on the job. Bonnie and Clyde, as departing employees, should be asked to sign
a new document during the exit interview.
A trade secret acknowledgement and termination agreement is just another way to
remind them of their duty not to disclose
your trade secrets. The termination and exit
50 | Coatings World
interviews should review the provisions of

the agreements they signed. Any issues
about future employment or trade secrets
should be sorted out before they formally
leave the company.
The rst and most logical thing to discuss
in the interview is the reason for leaving.
Talk about why the employment came to an
end; this can be a result of termination or a
voluntary decision to leave the company. If
you decide to terminate Bonnie or Clyde, explain your reasoning for doing so. If Bonnie
or Clyde are voluntarily leaving their position, ask why that is the caseprobe for
specics and note any discontent or dissatisfaction. Talk about the work or assignments
in which they were involved. From there, discuss future plans, especially relating to future
employment. Identify the new employer and
position and ensure that the Bonnie and
Clyde understand their duty of condence
regarding disclosure and use of a trade secret. Finally, make sure Bonnie and Clyde
arent about to walk out the door and steal
valuable company materials. Ask them to
turn over their badges and keys; supervise
them cleaning out their ofces or workspaces. For any further questions concerning
condentiality or other obligations, let them
know they can call your company any time.
A well-run and properly documented
exit interview will minimize the pains associated with employee termination. It is
also just one more way you can prove you
took reasonable steps to protect yourself
from trade secret misappropriation. Armed
with non-disclosure agreements, non-competition agreements, and documented exit
interviews, you have established a strong
protective wall of paper to help guard
you from misappropriation or unwanted
disclosure of trade secrets.
But what if Bonnie and Clyde turn out
to be a couple of dirty rotten thieves, like
their historical namesakes, and have misappropriated your trade secrets? You will
likely le a lawsuit against them and you
better! Furthermore, you will likely want to
seek injunctive relief to stop them from continuing to use or disclose your trade secrets.
A judge will need to see some kind of evidence proving that Bonnie and Clyde were
not allowed to use or disclose the information. And thats where the NDAs, non-competition agreements, and exit interview
documents come in to play. After viewing

these documents, a judge will be much
more likely to see that Bonnie and Clyde
have not kept in condence your trade secrets and broke a contractual agreement.
Injunctive relief may even be awarded to
help prevent any further harm.
In a professional-strength trade secret
audit, you will scour each and every one of
the NDAs, non-competition agreements and
your entire exit interview process. But, thats
really just the beginning. Other documents
that will serve as bricks in your wall may
include this partial list: insurance documents, SEC lings, partnership documents,
grants and contracts with the federal government, Patriot Act compliance documents, import and export compliance
documents, patent application lings, publications, slide presentations, toll manufacturers agreements, vendor agreements,
work-for-hire and other consulting agreements, software licenses, court proceedings,
etc. And, the litigators toy-box where we

the evidence against your bullet-proof wallof-paper: e-mails and texts. Employees say
the stupidest damned things in e-mails and
texts (Naw, thats not a trade secret, dont
worry about it!; Yeah, thats a big company trade secret supposedly, so dont tell
anyone else, OK?; If you promise not to
tell anyone else, I will tell you that we are
just about to launch a big [..]). I have
seen it all, and I continue to be amazed!
So, when you conduct a professionalstrength trade secret audit, get ready to feel
a little irritated at, and maybe even a little violated by, your professional auditors. Ultimately though, the goal is to feel a whole lot
more secure. If its done right, you should feel
like you have been attacked by someone trying to prove you DONT have any protectable trade secrets. But, when it happens
for realPowers That Be Please Forbid
youll be locked, loaded and the thief will be
staring down both barrels of a sawed-off 12gauge shotgun poking out from behind a
wall of paper. Like Pink Floyd said, All in
all it was all just bricks in the wall. CW

CREATING TOMORROWS SOLUTIONS
MAKE THE MOVE

TO VINNAPAS EF8300 THE NEW VAE
BINDER FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE PAINTS
VINNAPAS EF8300 is a new VAE copolymer dispersion that is produced without the use of APEO and
ideal for flat to semi-gloss paints. This allows the formulation of paints with low VOC (< 5 g/l), very low
residual VAM (< 200 ppm) and overall high performance, e.g. excellent scrub resistance, good block
resistance as well as good wet adhesion and water resistance.
Make the move to the technology of the future today. Visit us at www.wacker.com/interior-paints

cations for their customers. With the purchase

of the Hiwassee facility in 1970, Hoover Color
also acquired mineral deposits, which made it
fully integrated in the mining and manufacturing of Siennas, Umbers, and Ochres. These rich
earth tones are the hallmark products for
Hoover Color, especially Raw and Burnt Siennas. Our product range includes Natural and
Synthetic Iron Oxides, Blended Iron Oxides,
Chromium Green Oxides, Van Dyke Browns,
Tuscan Blends and Complex Inorganic Pigments. Since the 1940s, Hoover Color has always been in the forefront of color control,
developing the Hoover Automatic Muller. The
Hoover Muller has since become the standard
piece of testing equipment for the pigment industry. It is also widely used in the ink and cosmetic industries. The Hoover Muller has been
recognized by ASTM and ISO as an approved
way to prepare samples for color evaluations.

BASF will modernize and service its acetylene facility at the Ludwigshafen, Germany
Verbund site. In the course of these efforts
the company will also perform routine
maintenance at its facility producing 1,4butanediol (BDO), which is based on
acetylene. BASF will make use of this period to upgrade its plant technology,
thereby securing the long-term supply of
raw materials to meet the growing demand for BDO and its derivatives. In 2012
alone, the company is investing more than
20 million euros for this purpose.
The activities will start at the end of August and are expected to last six weeks.
BASF plans to bring both facilities back on
stream in mid-October. The company said it
will make sure that customers at the Ludwigshafen site and elsewhere will receive
supplies as usual by building up stocks and
by arranging product shipments from other
BASF sites.
The acetylene plant is one of the key production facilities at the Ludwigshafen site.
Acetylene is a starting material for BDO, an
intermediate that serves as a precursor for
many other intermediates, including
tetrahydrofuran (THF), polytetrahydrofuran (PolyTHF), N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP)
and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Acetylene
derivatives are used to produce plastics,
highly elastic textile bers, solvents and electronic chemicals.
Heraeus Noblelight opens new

UV LED curing testing facility
for North America
Heraeus Noblelight has established a new
UV LED curing testing facility.
With the increasing popularity of UV
LEDs in the curing of inks, coatings and
adhesives, we determined that formulators, OEMs and end users have a need to
evaluate cure quality using LED technology in a cost effective manner, said Rick
Slagle, business development manager of
Heraeus Noblelight LLC.
UV LED curing offers signicant advantages such as low power consumption,
low heating of sensitive substrates and long
lifetime to name a few. UV LEDs are single
wavelength devices and success in curing is
dependent on formulators selecting and
testing photo-initiator packages that are optimized for the LED wavelength. Parameters such as intensity, dose, working
distance and peak wavelength emission all
have an impact on curing. Our testing facility allows us to support our clients to
maximize the benets of LEDs in their application, said Slagle.
Heraeus Noblelights newly-formed
Spectrum Press launches Colour Critical offset production process

Singapore-based Spectrum Press International, which prints color cards for coatings
manufacturers, has introduced Colour Critical, an alternative and cost efficient offset
production process for the paint industry.
Together with the latest offset equipment
CMYK plus two to three spot colorand
customized screening and color matching
software, Spectrum Press says Colour Critical is able to deliver a more saturated and
vibrant color that can closely match paint
swatches. Major advantages according to
the company include high quality print, fast
delivery and cost savings. For more information visit Spectrum Press online at

of our Chip-On-Board assembly for high
density die placement, exibility of the
form factor of the emission area and
unique optical design giving our clients a

Pigment industry remembers Chris Whiston

By David Savastano, Contributing Editor
Chris Whiston, a longtime pigment industry leader, passed away in his
sleep last week.
Mr. Whistons career in the pigment industry spanned many
decades, most prominently with Ciba. He also worked at Fabricolor,
and retired from Toyo Inks pigments division a few years ago. In addition, Mr. Whiston was also involved in the launch of the IndigoB2B.com
pigment web site during the late 1990s.
His friends recalled Mr. Whiston as a one-of-a-kind individual, both
as a business leader as well as a friend.
Paul Legnetti of Breen Color knew Mr. Whiston for more than two
decades, beginning when they worked together at Ciba.
It was my pleasure to know him for 25 years, Mr. Legnetti said.
Chris made many contributions to the pigments industry and to Cibas
pigment business. He was a driving force behind Cibas highly effective
sales and marketing efforts for much of his career. He vision helped
forge the sales and technical service organizations that led to the
launch of products like Pigment Yellow 62, Violet 23 and Red 254 into
the plastic and ink market.
He personally mentored many of the younger people in the organization and some of the older types as well, Mr. Legnetti added.
You will never meet anyone who knew Chris who will say that they did
not learn something from him. Many of us owe much of the success we
have had in our careers to Chris and what we learned from him.

inks, and he was quite successful in the 1990s bringing in consistent
profitable growth, even in years with declining market dynamics.
In recalling Mr. Whiston, his colleagues talked about their friendship
with Mr. Whiston.
He was quite a character, and stories of him are legion and legendary, said Eric Finkelman, vice president, general counsel and secretary, Sun Chemical Corporation, who knew Mr. Whiston for more
than 15 years, from their time at Cibas Newport site.
One point in my mind stands out about Chris, Mr. Baker said. In
a program we employed at Ciba, Chris defined himself as someone
that wanted to be remembered as a clever person. Chris always
looked at things from a different perspective and always challenged
the status quo. If/when Chris disagreed with the direction of a conversation, we could always count on an interjection which invariably
started with 'Scuse me..... (said with a heavy British accent). At that
point we knew the discussion would start to get interesting. I would
say that Chris met his objective as being remembered as being clever.
Chris was actually a shy, quiet guy who took absolute joy in just
hanging around with his friends, Mr. Legnetti concluded. He was a
warm, caring man who cherished his family and friends. He loved a good
time and he knew how to share it with others. Chris came to visit my
wife and me right after our first child was born. He just showed up at the
house with a bottle of champagne, some flowers and a toy for the baby.
He was always doing caring stuff like that, but he never made a big deal
of it. He was a good man. I was privileged to be among his friends.

BYK Additives & Instruments introduces a

renewable and biodegradable additive
At the Asia Pacic Coatings Show from

September 19 to 20 in Jakarta, BYK additives & Instruments will be presenting additive solutions for the coatings and
printing inks industry. The areas of focus
at this years show cover the themes:
Biotechnology in the coating industry;
carbon nanotubes for functional applications; nanotechnology for surfaces.
In recent years, the desire for more environmentally compatible and sustainably
produced additives has grown signicantly.
BYK responded to these challenges with its
Greenability concept and presented, with
Ceraour 1000, an additive with wax-like
properties that is suitable for all systems,
be they aqueous, radiation-curing, solventfree or solventborne. Ceraour 1000 provides efcient matting and also involves a
soft-touch effect the company said. In addition, systems in which Ceraour1000 is
used exhibit a high degree of transparency
and improved scratch resistance.
BYK said the special feature here is that,
because the additive is based on renewable
raw materials, it represents an extremely interesting alternative to natural and synthetic
waxes. The latter, for instance, are based on
nite, petrochemical resources. Thanks to
biotechnology, the BYK additive is produced instead with the aid of bacteria.

Prior to its commercial launch, Resinate
offered R-162 as a customized solution to
select clients seeking to improve their product performance. According to Stephen
Hall, COO, We initially developed R-162
to meet the needs of a handful of clients.
Later, we determined this resin had excellent adhesion to a wide variety of metal
substrates and acted as a superior anticorrosive coating. This resin has broad applications for manufactured metal products.
The R-162 line of resins is also great
for manufacturers concerned with the environmental impact of their manufacturing, said Ben Wodicker, senior vice
president of business development. This
resin is low VOC and is sourced from sustainable domestic sources.
R-162 is a proven product with dynamic applications. We had a customer
that was sourcing its resin from China and
was having all sorts of performance and
quality problems, said Daniel Seyer, vice
president of research and development.
We were able to take their formulation
and adjust it to include our R-162 resin.
What resulted was a higher quality product that consistently passed performance
tests but was also cheaper and greener because it was sourced domestically.

Resinate Materials Group, Inc., a provider

of resins and technology for the coatings,
adhesives, sealants and elastomers industries, has launched its rst commercial
resin product line, R-162, to the public. R162 is a waterborne aromatic anionic
polyester polyurethane dispersion ideally
suited for coating metal substrates such as
aluminum, chrome and steel. R-162 provides corrosion resistance while also providing physical protection as a component
of a topcoat. In addition to being waterborne, R-162 resin is sourced from sustainable domestic suppliers which results

has recently released the CM-700d and
CM-600d spectrophotometers in Mexico
and throughout the Latin American market. The CM-700d and CM-600d are two
spectrophotometers that promise the same
high performance as previous Konica Minolta models in a more compact, lightweight and highly portable body. These
models are approximately 25% smaller in
volume than the previous models as well
as approximately 20% lighter. They employ a vertical body that is both easy to
hold and stable for greater ease of use. In
addition, each model come equipped with

Bluetooth wireless communication functions, enabling wireless transmission of
measurement data to a computer, mobile
printer, etc. This allows for greater maneuverability for measurement work on
location and on production lines without
the limitations of conventional communication cables. The CM-700d and CM600d are both equipped with a color TFT
LCD, which provides color patches to be
shown for each measurement. The CM700d can measure areas of 8mm and
3mm for greater exibility of measurements. The CM-600d has a xed measurement area of 8mm. Each model can
support a wide variety of samples including pastes, powders, and even wet surfaces. Various optional accessories are
also available to accommodate many different samples and customer applications.

attritor for mineral grinding
Union Process recently built a lab machine
for its limestone and mineral grinding line.
The CL-5 is the smallest member of the CL

is appropriate for research, scale-up studies
and small-scale production. Primary applications are for wet grinding limestone for
ue gas desulphurization in power plants
and for mineral grinding.
Sachtleben introduces
Sachtosperse EP barium sulfate
Sachtleben has introduced Sachtosperse EP
for powder coatings. Powder-coated aluminum sections and proles, for windows
and conservatories, for example, are sealed
after production into polymer lms to protect them during shipment and storage. The
company said this form of protection can become problematic, however, if the proles are
stored outdoors before use, for instance;
water can then condense between the lm
and the product. Exposure of this pairing of
substances to intense UV radiation relatively
quickly sets off fading on the surface of the
proles and causes mottling. Sachtleben said
the incorporation of Sachtosperse EP into the
powder-coating is a solution to this problem.
Sachtosperse EPfunctionalized, patented
synthetic particles of barium sulfateenhances the stability of the powder-coating
system no complications the company said.
Gloss remains unaffected, and in Sachtlebens

producers get not only optimized protection
but also the important ller functions they in
any case need for their systems.

Painters District Council #2 Opens $3.5

Million Training Facility in Chesterfield, Mo.
The International Union of Painters and Allied Trades, District

Council #2 (Painters District Council #2) of St. Louis, Mo.,
has opened a new $3.5 million training center. Located on 10.5
acres at 18036 Eads Ave. in Chesterfield, Mo., the 75,000square-foot Painters District Council #2 Training Facility more
than triples the schools previous space and unites classes once
spread among five buildings in St. Louis. The larger space accommodates up to 425 studentsa 30 percent increaseand
houses greater innovative and hands-on programming. Designed to be the countrys leading training facility for the finishing trades, it will develop advanced skills for residential and
commercial painters, industrial painters, drywall finishers, paperhangers and glaziers.
In 2004, we began planning an expansion of our program to
elevate the skills and abilities of St. Louis nishing trades workforce to best meet future needs, said Tim Klotz, director of training for Painters District Council #2. Today, our school is raising
the national industry standard for technique and safety training.
A formal dedication is being planned for fall 2012.
The training center was funded by the 2,200 members of
Painters District Council #2, the St. Louis Painting and Decorating Contractors of America/Finishing Contractors Association
(PDCA/FCA), the Glaziers Local #513 and the Architectural
Glass and Metal Association.
The facility includes six classrooms equipped with audio/visual systems, one blueprint room, bench work space for initial
technique training, two mock residential/commercial structures
for interior and exterior training, one mock steel structure for
industrial training, one spray booth and one abrasive blast
booth. A mock commercial storefront will be added in 2013 for
glazier training, including glass and framing fabrication and installation, and more.
The mock structure for residential and commercial painters
resembles a home, stands two stories tall and features 36 interior
rooms with eight- and 12-foot ceilings, and varying window and
door frame treatments. Its exterior is siding and exterior insulation nishing system (EFIS) with multiple cornice and shutter
layouts. Drywall nishers train in a second two-story, 46-room
structure with 8-foot ceilings and radius and splay work. After
three rounds of practice on each surface, drywall is removed and
replaced to create fresh practice space.
A two-story steel frame simulates industrial surface (interior and exterior) preparation and coatings application. Students spray on surface coatings and then use abrasive blasting
to remove it. The structure also offers rigging and containment training.
Construction of the mock facilities was completed by apprentices and journeymen of other local construction unions, including the Glaziers Local #513, the Iron Workers Local #396,
Painters District Council #2 is training apprentices and upgrading

skills of journey workers on a mock up of a residential home.
the Operating Engineers Local 513 and the Carpenters District

Council of Greater St. Louis and Vicinity.
One of St. Louis greatest assets is the skill and safety of our
building trades workforce, said Jeff Aboussie, executive secretary-treasurer of the St. Louis Building and Construction Trades
Council (BCTC) AFL-CIO. That requires continuous investment in training by unions and their building partners. The
painters new training facility is great example of our commitment to delivering the best value in skill and safety to the buyers
of construction services.
In April, Sheet Metal Workers Local 36 opened its $22 million training center and union hall at 2319 Chouteau Ave. Meanwhile, Plumbers and Pipetters Local 562 is building a new $12
million training center.
The Painters District Council #2 apprenticeship program will
increase from three years to four years, and include courses on
safety; general painting; exteriors; drywall and wood nishing;
wall coverings; abrasive blast; industrial coatings; decorative nishes; and more. Also available are Society for Protective Coatings (SSPC) certications and journeyman safety training, such as
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 10- and
30-Hour, lead abatement and licensure, scaffold and more.
Painters District Council #2 purchased the building from
Findlay Industries in 2009, and remodeled its interior through
2011. CW
