Description

Fogging, a natural phenomenon causes various accidents and mishaps in industrial setup and other instances. It can distract the attention of workers and even travelers and cause accidents, which can cost lives. Anti-fog coatings are widely used to overcome the challenge. These protective coatings are widely used across industries with increasing research focusing on increasing the durability of the coatings and anti-fog performance.

The Advanced Coating & Surface Technology TechVision Opportunity Engine (TOE) provides intelligence on technologies, products, processes, applications and strategic insights on various coatings across industries. This encompasses protective and functional coatings such as antimicrobial coatings, food coatings, energy-saving coatings, smart glazing, hydrophilic, hydrophobic and super hydrophobic coatings, corrosion protection coatings, barrier coatings and paints.

The Materials and Coatings cluster tracks research & innovation trends and developments across specialty chemicals, plastics, polymers, chemicals, bio-chemicals, metals, coatings, thin films, surface treatments, composites, alloys, oil and gas, fuel additives, fibers and several other related technologies and its impact and application across industries.
