Overview of Marine and Protective Coatings
The marine paint and industrial paint industry in Vietnam is developing strongly, following the trend of modernization and environmental friendliness. Current international regulations promote the use of water-based paints and paints that do not contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to minimize environmental impact. Nano technology and graphene materials are being widely applied to improve corrosion resistance and increase the lifespan of paints. In particular, the application of new generation materials significantly reduces VOC emissions while providing long-lasting protection. These advanced solutions not only enhance product quality and reduce negative environmental impacts but also strictly comply with international standards. This helps businesses in the industry enhance their competitiveness and ensure safety for maritime works and vehicles.
