The May issue of Coatings World covers a lot of ground related to the paint and coatings industry. From aerospace coatings, to col- or trends and the latest biocides technologies and lab and testing equipment, we have it covered.

On the coatings side our “Aerospace Coatings Market” (page 26) article
contains insights from key players in the market. According to Daniela
Vlad, BU director Aerospace Coatings at AkzoNobel, “the market has in-
trinsic growth potential and we will benefit from that growth. Growth in
aerospace is being driven by an emergent middle class in emerging econo-
mies and more and more people being able to travel for leisure. Various
airlines will try to adapt their strategy to tap this demand. This translates
into demand for aircraft and associated services. We expect this trend to
continue.”
“Another driver is the need for coatings with superior, enhanced prop-
erties which can provide both economic value to the customers – better
throughput times, lower weigh – and meet sustainability and environmen-
tal needs,” Vlad added. This article contains information on the latest aero-
space offerings from PPG, Sherwin-Williams and AkzoNobel.

This year our color trends feature was written by PPG color expert, Dee Schlotter. “Discovering the Best Colors for our Customers: PPG Global Color Trending Service” (page 30). According to Schlotter, societal events have a huge impact on the colors that consumers feel comfortable selecting and buying. “Colors become popular and resonate with customers because of what is happening in society at that particular time, demographic profiles that tug on customers’ memories and generational events and geographical influences,” she added.
