More than 100 of the coatings industry’s leading scientists are being brought together by AkzoNobel in a new €12.6M research and innovation hub, which could revolutionise the company’s portfolio.
Located in Felling in the UK, the facility will be home to teams of scientists and technical experts, who will work on developing protective coatings for the energy, mining, infrastructure and oil and gas industries. The main focus will be on delivering innovations and efficiencies for protecting steel and concrete structures from damage caused by corrosion, abrasion and fire.
The hub will also offer a world class testing and simulation facility, enabling tests to be carried out in conditions experienced in the world’s most extreme environments.
