Akzo Nobel invests in coatings application technology from Qlayers
Technology from Qlayers, which is opening up new possibilities in the application of industrial coatings, has prompted Akzo Nobel to acquire a stake in the startup.
According to Akzo Nobel, Qlayers’ coating technology offers a fully automated solution that is safer, more consistent and faster than the manual coating processes used now in the industry. By eliminating overspray, it is regarded as a sustainable solution that saves costs.
“This collaboration with Qlayers is not only a strategic investment for AkzoNobel and our co-investor ECFG, it’s a win-win-win for us all,” says Menno van der Zalm, Global Director Innovation at Akzo Nobel.
Applying anti-corrosive coating systems
As Akzo Nobel tells, Qlayers’ technology has already been used by customers to successfully apply anti-corrosive coating systems on storage tanks, where the benefit of automated application has enhanced worker safety and delivered increased sustainability and process efficiency results.
