‘Lean & Green’ a winner for Axalta

Axalta Coating Systems was granted the Outstanding Environmental Technology Award at the 2014 China Surface Engineering Summit (CSES) in Shanghai.
The technology recognised for its contribution to environmental sustainability is Axalta’s Lean and Green Coating System. The award recognises Axalta’s leadership in developing surface treatment solutions that meet industry’s evolving demands for high performance and sustainable coatings.
The Lean and Green Coating System for OEMs includes the company’s Eco-Concept primer-less coatings, a high solid solventborne 3-Wet coating system and a waterborne 3-Wet coating system each of which can deliver full layer performance with a simplified coating process.
Available for different customer requirements, all three systems can reduce application and bake steps in OEM coating application.
The results for automotive manufacturers include improved productivity, lowered emissions of volatile organic compounds, reduced energy consumption and lower investment costs, while still achieving a high quality finish on vehicles.
CSES 2014 featured speakers from the China Coating Industry Association (CCIA) and the China Surface Engineering Association (CSEA).
