BASF Korea said Tuesday that it had become the first in the industry to use a new chemical compound with a superior environmental profile to produce its flagship insulating polystyrene foam Neopor. The German firm now produces Neopor using a newly-developed polymeric flame retardant, instead of hexabromocyclododecane or HBCD, a more toxic flame retardant typically used to produce polystyrene-based insulating foams and textiles.<more> PPG liable for pollution from Pennsylvania plant FORD CITY (AP - A federal judge ruled this week that PPG Industries Inc. is liable under environmental laws for decades of pollution in the Allegheny River from its old glass manufacturing waste dump site in western Pennsylvania. Judge Robert Mitchell's decision is a victory for environmental groups that contended waste from the Ford City plant violated the state's Clean Streams Law, the federal Clean Water Act and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. Mitchell said PPG is liable because it contributed to the past disposal of solid waste at the Slurry Lagoon Area which may present an imminent and substantial endangerment to health or the environment," the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported. He also found that PPG violated a 2009 state Department of Environmental Protection order. "We're excited about the ruling. We knew when we started this case that we were on strong legal ground," said David Masur, PennEnvironment executive director. "We know that illegal dumping into the three rivers is not something that people in southwestern Pennsylvania support."<more> |

In March, the paint and coatings company Valspar uploaded a carefully constructed tearjerker of a video, in which a group colorblind men and women give testimonials about their disability, before putting on EnChroma glasses - which help them to see certain colors they had never seen before and looking at, what else, splotches of Valspar paint. The ad's been viewed over 5 million times, bringing a lot of attention to a paint company. The ad also had a pleasant side effect: it inspired copycats. Click here for video Before the ad, only a few videos of color blind people's first experiences with EnChroma - and the colors it allows them to see - had made their way onto YouTube. But since March, a few new videos are posted each week, featuring color blind people from across the world. While the advertisement was touching, the polished short pales in comparison with these moments captured on smartphone cameras. There's no editing or artifice, each video is just a single long shot in which the reality of seeing a color for the first time gradually overtakes someone's emotions.<more> Anodising Vs powder coating: Which is better for aluminium surface treatments? Woodform Architectural evaluates the most suitable coating systems for aluminium profiles by examining their advantages and disadvantages. Aluminium is one of Earth's most abundant metals known for its lightness, strength and resistance to corrosion. Untreated aluminium extrusions are perfectly adequate for many applications; however, there are many valid reasons to treat the surface of aluminium profiles. These include introducing colour, supplementing corrosion resistance; augmenting hardness; arresting wear-and-tear; and adding reflectivity. Two coating systems - anodised and powder coating - are currently preferred when specifying architectural aluminium. Nearly a century old, anodising is a relatively straightforward electrochemical process used to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of aluminium. Powder coating, on the other hand, is a technique mainly used to apply decorative and protective finishes to aluminium profiles through a process that electrostatically charges the powder consisting of a mixture of finely milled resin and pigment, spraying it on to the aluminium extrusion, and then fusing it into a smooth coating in a curing oven. <more> Jotachar coating gains ground Jotachar JF750, a mesh-free passive fire protection (PFP) epoxy coating system for structural steel, was launched two years ago by Jotun. The Jotachar system does not require mesh reinforcement, meaning the required coating thickness for any fire scenario can be applied in a single day. When compared to traditional mesh containing products, independent tests show that Jotachar can cut material costs by more than 20% and application time by 60% (on a typical 6000sq m project).<more> Government likely to extend validity of environment clearance to Asian Paints' project NEW DELHI: Government is likely to extend till June 2018 the validity of environment clearance (EC) given to Asian PaintsBSE 2.22 % the country's largest paint maker for expansion of its Patancheru unit in Telangana. The EC, granted to Asian Paints in 2008 for expansion of its Patancheru plant, expired in 2013.

"Asian Paints' proposal seeking extension of the validity of EC for its expansion project in Telangana was examined by the Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC) in a recent meeting. It suggested for extension of the EC validity till June 2018. The final EC is expected to be issued soon," a senior Environment Ministry official said. <more> Asian Paints to invest Rs 2,300-crore on new plant in Karnataka NEW DELHI: Asian PaintsBSE 0.02 % plans to invest up to Rs 2,300 crore to set up a manufacturing plant at Mysuru in Karnataka.
