Breaking Boundaries: Sustainable Solutions Amidst Industry Challenges

Presented by David Zamarin, Impermea Materials

Amidst industry revelations surrounding carcinogenic chemicals like PFAS, few options exist that offer sustainable, high-performance solutions to diverse industry challenges. With efforts to tackle the PFAS and Single Use Plastics crisis through proposed legislation, many manufacturers are scrambling to find performance driven fluorine-free and plastic-free barrier coatings that offer tangible solutions to these industry-wide concerns. With real-world examples and success stories, few coatings have been able to demonstrate the effectiveness and durability comparable to legacy technologies. However, as a new era of bio-based chemical manufacturing becomes mainstream, several techniques have been discovered to make new technologies that illustrate how sustainable practices can coexist with high-performance standards.
