Pressure on the use of heavy metals, VOC levels and the need to incorporate
more renewable materials are the facts of life for todays coatings industry. OMG
recognizes that increasing regulation together with increasing cost pressures and
demands for ever higher performance present a continuous challenge to coatings
formulators, and that incremental improvements to existing technologies can only go
so far in meeting this challenge. Our approach is to search out and apply technology
new to the coatings industry which is capable of giving the signicant improvements
in performance needed to respond to todays pressure.
