29 October 2025 | OnlineEC Webinar | Modern Functional Coatings: Self-Healing, Anti-Ice and Beyond
Coatings should no longer just look good and protect against corrosion. As good and important as both properties are, many customers want more. Many of these requirements can be described with the term “functional coatings”. Popular buzzwords that are often used here are anti-ice, anti-graffiti, self-healing or the often-mentioned sharkskin. Some of these properties are now well researched and established on the market, while others still have practical hurdles to overcome. This seminar will show you which functional coatings belong to which of these categories. The mechanisms behind the various modern functionalities and the role played by nanotechnology are no secret. If you want to provide your customers with coatings with that little bit extra, you should attend this seminar.
Topics covered:
- What role does nanotechnology play?
- Which coating systems are suitable?
- How to achieve an anti-ice effect?
- Which functional coatings are already marketable?
