The major change that has taken place in the coatings industry during the last 40 years has been the adoption of new coating technologies. Waterborne (thermosetting emulsion, colloidal dispersion, water-soluble) coatings, high-solids coatings, two-component systems that make use of epoxy have been at the forefront of such technological advances.
Although new to this sector, Petrokem continues to innovate with local manufacturing technology that is truly Sri Lankan and aspires to become one of the main coating suppliers in the country.
