Dr. Lei Qiao, Refinish Technology Director of Axalta Asia
Pacific introduced Axalta’s innovation in waterborne coatings which
are designed to reduce environmental impact but on the other hand
enhanced productivity, energy savings and color performance. Dr.
Lei also explained about Axalta’s concern on Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOC) as one of the precursors to ozone formation and the
air pollution caused. According to Dr. Qiao, waterborne coatings
can reduce about 75% VOC emission than the conventional
solventborne coatings to comply with major VOC compliance
regulations globally. These innovative products also have lower
carbon footprint through lower energy or fewer bake cycles while
still meet customer requirement of sustainable, high quality
products. Axalta waterborne coatings give aesthetical finish with
lower paint consumption, excellent coverage, fast and easy
application process.
“Our participation in this symposium is part of our
responsibility to constantly support academic communities by
sharing Axalta’s expertise and innovations in coating industry,”
said Dewi Djanuwati, Managing Director of Axalta in Indonesia. “We
are always committed to developing and producing sustainable
products and services as sustainability is central to our business.
As part of this effort we have just opened our new Axalta Asia
Pacific Technology Center (APTC) in Shanghai, China in June 2017,
which is focusing on developing high performance products and
technology following Axalta's guiding principle for research:
sustainable innovation”, she added.
Dr. Ir. Aniek S Handayani, M.T as the Chairman of the Symposium
Committee was impressed with Axalta’s expertise in sustainable
coatings. “Sustainable Coatings topic is very relevant to current
global and industry issues. Axalta’s innovative sustainable
technology presented today will help to bring new ideas for
researchers with coating related research projects”, she said.
