Nippon Paint Marine has announced the application of its unique biocide-free self-polishing coating (SPC) AQUATERRAS to RIVIERA, a luxury cruise ship operated by Oceania Cruises, a subsidiary of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH).
This application of Nippon Paint Marine’s award-winning AQUATERRAS product follows pre-pandemic testing on NCLH’s vessels. After almost two years of the vessels being exposed to static, pandemic-enforced operation in a fouling-rich marine environment, AQUATERRAS demonstrated superb resistance to fouling and marine growth.
The coating was applied to Riviera (66,172 GT) in dry-dock at Chantiers Naval de Marseille. AQUATERRAS was applied to the vertical sides of the ship. The average hull roughness measured after the application of AQUATERRAS was a significantly low 40 microns. This extreme smoothness will provide reduced friction between the hull and the water and will help NCLH to maximize fuel savings and reduce emissions. AQUATERRAS’ excellent biocide free fouling resistance properties will assist in mitigating possible ecological issues arising from biofouling and species migration.
Nippon Paint Marine has been working closely with NCLH for over a decade to provide antifouling systems for cruise ships operating under the Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises, and Regent Seven Seas Cruises brands.

Interpon D architectural powder coatings from AkzoNobel are helping to protect and enhance Dubai’s latest billion-dollar luxury hotel and resort, Atlantis The Royal, with products that beautifully mimic the appearance of terracotta, ensuring its beauty and style for generations to come.
Constructed in two Lego-like structures connected by a bridge the $1.4 billion project is the latest jewel in Dubai’s crown of luxury hotels and resorts and opened its doors to the public on February 10, 2023. The unique concept was designed by the award-winning team of Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates.
The challenge for the resort’s designers and architects was to find a powder coating that could protect aluminum surfaces and girders in a climate of extreme heat and corrosive salt spray from the coast, and with a finish that would complement the warm terracotta tones of Dubai’s landscape.
The solution was an Interpon D2525 superdurable powder coating which delivers the classic appearance of terracotta, without having any of the downsides of sourcing, transporting, installing, and maintaining the real thing.
Crucially, being an Interpon powder coating, the Interpon D2525 is free of harmful substances and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). And no powder coating is lost to the environment when applied; coaters can collect overspray and reuse the powder, making it a better choice for the environment.
Although the design was completed and specified in the US, Interpon’s global presence, the consistency of its products worldwide, and flexibility in offering different textures and finishes everywhere meant that the coating itself could be handled in Dubai without the need for costly shipments.
Sanal Limoncuoglu, Commercial Director Powder Coatings South & East Europe and Middle East and Africa, says the project is a great example of Interpon’s ongoing commitment to support its customers with innovative and sustainable solutions: “Extraordinary buildings need extraordinary solutions. Our architectural range of powder coatings gives architects and designers the freedom to make the improbable possible and dreams a reality. Our products were chosen for their ability to help create earthy natural tones whilst meeting tight industry specifications and demanding weather conditions.”
Launched during a three-day star-studded event, Atlantis The Royal welcomed Beyonce and other celebrities to officially open the resort, ensuring its introduction to the world was as breathtaking as the Interpon powder coating protecting it.

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) market will grow globally from $91.73 billion in 2022 to $100.99 billion in 2023.
Posted by staff | Feb 21, 2023
The global high-density polyethylene market will grow from $91.73 billion in 2022 to $100.99 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%.
The HDPE market is expected to grow from $145.5 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 9.6%.
That’s according to a market study released this month by Reportlinker.
Products made of HDPE include shampoo bottles, toys, pipe systems, recycling bins, chemical containers, milk jugs, grocery bags, and cereal box liners. Values in this market are “factory gate” values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.
HDPE is a plastic polymer with flexible properties that’s resistant to impact and chemicals, making it suitable for healthcare and laboratory environments. HDPE is also used in heavy-duty damp-proof membranes, flexible bags, and films.
HDPE markets and details.
Asia Pacific was the largest region in the HDPE market in 2022; North America was the second-largest region.
The product types of high-density polyethylene are PE 63, PE 80, and PE 100. PE 63 is used in medium pressure piping system, irrigation system, and drinking water connections.
Applications are oil and gas pipelines, agricultural irrigation pipes, water supply pipes, sewage system pipes, and others.
End-use industries are packaging, building and construction, agriculture, automobiles, and other industries.
The unique set of properties include lightweight, impact resistance, flexibility, low-temperature resistance, serve as the most important market drivers. These properties have increased demand for HDPE in end-user industries such as manufacturing, energy, geothermal, marine, mining, landfill, HVAC, gas, oil, mining, and agricultural industries.
HDPE pipe is environmentally sustainable because it is non-toxic, corrosion and chemical resistant and has a long lifespan. According to the Pipeline & Gas Journal, a high number of oil and gas companies are exploring plastic pipes as an alternative for pipeline transportation to reduce operational expenses as they are corrosion-resistant, flexible, and lightweight.
Polypropylene is a market threat to HDPE.
The use of competitive materials such as polypropylene (PP) is threatening growth in the HDPE market. HDPE is opaque and translucent in nature, whereas PP is amorphous or crystalline in nature and is preferred where transparent packaging is required.
Polypropylene is unusually resistant to many chemical solvents, bases, and acids and is much less brittle than HDPE.
PP is also microwavable and dishwasher safe. Owing to its lighter nature, PP is now used in a wide variety of applications, including food packaging, textiles, laboratory equipment, automotive components, and HDPE. Thus, the market for HDPE is negatively impacted by this inter-polymer competition between PP and HDPE.
The demand for thermoplastics from the automotive industry can be attributed to a revolution in weight reduction. For instance, BMW is using thermoplastics for the exterior skin of their newest vehicles, such as the I series. The rising demand for thermoplastic materials increased PP demand.
Companies in the HDPE market are investing heavily to increase the sustainability of the polymer by moving to environmentally safe raw materials while maintaining product quality and safety standards.
For instance, Chevron Phillips Chemical is one of the world’s top suppliers of polyethylene. The company provides high-density (HDPE), medium-density (MDPE), low-density (LDPE), linear low-density (LLDPE), metallocene, and masterbatches for a broad range of applications, including pressure pipes, soap and detergent bottles, flexible packaging, coatings and laminations, films, and more.
In 2020, CPChem Co. LP (CPChem), a joint venture of Chevron Corp. and Phillips, offered to buy Nova Chemicals for $15 billion. The deal for the Canada-based company would enable CPChem Co. LP group to increase its ethylene reach, making it the third-largest polyethylene producer in North America and expanding its market reach.

AkzoNobel has launched a new range of Resicoat EV powder coatings to protect the battery system and electrical components of a new generation of electric vehicles (EVs).
The future success of EVs is dependent on the performance of the battery and associated systems. Battery performance, however, is highly impacted by its environment, which is why it needs protection to ensure the vehicle’s performance and the safety of the passengers. Powder coatings can improve the performance of the battery by providing insulation from electric current and protection against corrosion. This means manufacturers can extend battery life, and ensure the battery performs better for longer.
Each of the five product ranges developed within the Resicoat EV range has been specifically innovated to enhance the safety and performance of the EVs of tomorrow. They have superior electrical insulating properties and enhanced thermal management to help protect the battery systems, motors, and electrical storage units.
The range comprise Resicoat EVpack which delivers a range of protective properties for the battery pack or housing to insulate electrical systems; Resicoat EVcell which provides outstanding cell to cell electrical insulation for even the most intricate designs; and Resicoat EVcooling, designed to deliver superior performance in thermal conductivity, electrical insulation, edge coverage and consistent film building in cooling tube and cooling plate applications.
It also includes Resicoat EVbusbar to coat the busbars that carry and distribute electricity to improve heat dissipation and support a lower fire load with a longer lifetime during thermal impact. To protect the electric motor, the Resicoat EVmotor range includes epoxy powder solutions that are specifically designed for the electrical insulation of hairpin stators.
Key solutions within the Resicoat EV range are tested and approved to UL 94 V-0 which enables vehicle systems to tolerate a certain amount of exposure to a flame without igniting. They’re also tested and approved to UL746B and UL1446, ensuring they can resist thermal degradation and possible damage that can occur at elevated temperatures.
Sustainability is a significant driver in the popularity of EVs and similarly important to AkzoNobel. Crucially, the guaranteed durability of the Resicoat EV range in protecting essential components means those components last longer before needing to be replaced. Resicoat powder coatings have very minimum Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and conform to the industry’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive, to give coaters and customers ultimate peace of mind.
Jeff Jirak, Managing Director at AkzoNobel Powder Coatings, said innovation is the key to accelerating the future EVs: “For more than 60 years we have built the expertise and innovation inherent with our Resicoat brand to help resolve the challenge of electrical insulation. We understand how an exceptional powder coating with the right application technique will provide consistent electrical insulation for the life of the key components, such as the batteries in EVs. It’s further proof of our commitment to supporting our customers through partnerships and product development to create, power and protect the designs of the future.”
