Wanted: Coating Solutions for UV Applications

A cost-efficient anti-graffiti coating solution is needed for application to flexible PVC film. The coating should add a flexible transparent layer with specific properties: scratch & UV resistant, stable physical behavior between -30 degrees and 90 degrees Celsius, and resistant to solvents and alcohols used for graffiti cleaning.

A broad-spectrum biocide is needed for several industrial applications. In addition to being demonstrably effective on a wide variety of common bacteria, it should also deter molds and mildew. The intention is to use the biocide as an additive for plastic objects, apply it to textiles, and use it in water-treatment equipment.

A new active that could be used in several different delivery modes and forms is needed to remove household odors. The active must eliminate and remove odors caused by bathroom odor, mold and mildew, pets, and by kitchen garbage. The active would work on a broad set of compounds, such as sulfides, amines, heterocycles, short-chain fatty acids, and aromatics. To respond to this Tech Need, click here.
