The Society of Coatings and Finishing, an affiliated organization to the
Chemical Industry and Engineering Society of China (CIESC), organized a
committee of industry professionals to select the winners based on
several criteria, including market advantage, product and application
benefits, and sustainability. In addition, public internet votes were
also counted in the award selection. Axalta’s Nap-Gard is recognized for
its innovation qualities such as its 100% solids formulation and absence
of targeted harmful air contaminants (HAPs) which combine to address
China’s environmental protection agenda.
“Winning this award comes at an opportune time as Axalta is celebrating
150 years of innovative development,” said Xu Xiangming, General Manager
of Axalta-Huajia Coatings. “Last year Nap-Gard celebrated its own 50th
anniversary as well. Nap-Gard is the first in the world to offer epoxy
powder coatings as anti-corrosion material for gas pipeline
construction. Today, Nap-Gard is designed to provide superior
anti-corrosion and wear-resistant protection to internal and external
pipes for oil and gas, as well as valves, used under the most taxing
environmental conditions. We are grateful to the CIESC and the Society
of Coatings and Finishing for recognizing our years of innovation.”
Axalta’s Nap-Gard fusion bonded epoxy thermosetting coatings are
formulated to withstand long-term exposure to corrosive elements in the
air, ground, water, sea and soil as well as chemicals. It is also a
tough wear-resistant coating with excellent adhesion and insulating
properties which can effectively prevent construction and mechanical
damage to pipelines laid underground and subject to soil stresses.
The award was presented during the annual conference of the China Powder
Coatings and Finishing Industry organized by the Society of Coatings and
Finishing of CIESC. This conference along with the award was introduced
in response to the Chinese government’s supply-side structural reform
aimed at increasing the supply of high-end and eco-responsible products
and services through innovation and entrepreneurship. The reform expects
to support the economic growth of China.
