Much has been written about AI transforming healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and retail through predictive analytics, automation, and generative models. At the same time AI and automation are making many strides in surface technology – which includes coatings, surface treatments, material characterization, and manufacturing finishing – shifting it from manual, experience-based operations to intelligent, data-driven, and highly precise systems.

Artificial intelligence and automation have long been an integral part of industrial surface technology. Whether process monitoring, quality assurance, material efficiency or plant control, digital technologies are fundamentally changing painting processes and raising them to a new level of performance. Intelligent, automated solutions that are already in use today and will become even more important in the future. Close cooperation with manufacturers, system providers, research institutions and users shows that AI is no longer a promise for the future, but a decisive lever for more efficient, sustainable and stable coating processes.

This technology is not just automating old processes; it is creating entirely new possibilities. It helps manufacturers produce higher-quality paint with less waste, empowers consumers to find the perfect color with a tap on their screen, and pushes the boundaries of what a simple coat of paint can achieve. It helps manufacturers produce higher quality paint with less waste, empowers consumers to find the perfect color with a tap on their screen, and pushes the boundaries of what a simple coat of paint can do.

These illustrations show that AI and automation in surface technology are no longer viewed in isolation, but increasingly as integral components of continuous process chains. The focus is shifting from individual optimizations to networked systems in which process data, quality information and plant parameters are collated and evaluated in real time. This development opens up new potential for reproducible quality, resource efficiency and process stability – but at the same time requires a high level of system integration and robust data models.

In this issue, we try and discuss some of the latest developments within our sector in the field of AI and automation. Besides, this issue also carries all our regular features and columns to keep our readers updated.

At the same time, we also hope the hostilities in the Middle East comes to an end as soon as possible and we are able to get on with our businesses and lives as usual and in peace!

December 2025 - January 2026

Imagine a paint that does away with the need to ever fuel your vehicle, or one that helps in lower a vehicle's ambient cabin temperature and reduce the energy usage of the air-conditioning system. This is just the proverbial tip of the iceberg to innovations in the future, just when we thought we have seen all there is to see in the paint and coatings sector. Mercedes-Benz is researching a new type of solar modules that could be seamlessly applied to the bodywork of electric vehicles – similar to a wafer-thin layer of paste. An area of 118.4 square feet (equivalent to the surface of a mid-size SUV) could produce energy for up to 7,456 miles per year under ideal conditions. The photovoltaic system is permanently active and also generates energy when the vehicle is switched off.

Nissan's cool paint has shown yields of up to a 12ºC reduction in exterior surface temperatures and up to 5ºC cooler interior, compared to a vehicle featuring traditional automotive paint. A cooler cabin is not only more pleasant to enter, but also requires less air-conditioning run-time to cool the cabin to a comfortable temperature. This helps reduce load to the engine, or in the case of an electric vehicle, draw on the battery.

Modern automotive paint and coatings is the result of years and millions of dollars spent in R&D, tightly controlled and orchestrated production processes and expectations from customers that leave no margin for miscalculations.

The industry is witnessing robust growth driven by rising demand for eco-friendly, waterborne, and high-performance coatings. Increasing adoption of EV paint technologies, smart nanocoating's and customized vehicle finishes is transforming the market landscape.

In this edition we discuss some of the latest developments in the automotive paint industry and the factors for its growth. Besides this, we have all our regular features and columns in place for our readers.

As we enter the New Year, let me thank you for your support throughout 2025 and also take this opportunity to wish each one of you – our readers, advertisers and well-wishers a great and fantastic year 2026 ahead!!!

October – November 2025

The unfortunate thing about corrosion is its autocatalytic nature, once corrosion commences, and then that is it. In practice, the best way to prevent the spread of corrosion is to prevent it from starting at all! Given the cost of engineering, procurement and construction of process installations, the ultimate successful facility is one that remains in the intended service for as long as possible.

In this issue, we discuss how ‘corrosion and integrity management’ is a systematic approach to protect assets from material degradation, ensuring their safe, long-lasting, and reliable operation. It involves developing and implementing a Corrosion Management Plan (CMP) that includes procedures, risk assessments, and performance metrics, all within an organization's overall management system. The goal is to minimize life cycle costs, meet safety and environmental goals, and prolong the life of critical assets like pipelines and storage tanks.

It’s also high time we look at asset integrity management as a value enabler, rather than a compliance tool. New technologies use AI to analyze data from sensors and images to predict corrosion, identify it earlier and more accurately than traditional methods, and recommend preventative actions. This leads to more efficient, proactive, and cost-effective corrosion control strategies. AI models can analyze historical and real-time data to predict where and when corrosion is likely to occur, enabling proactive maintenance and preventing costly failures.

But all this would be of no use if the people are not well acquainted or aware about what they are supposed to do. Or, simply are not trained. Asset owners must invest in their people, train them, and build a culture of innovation and technology. You can have all the technology, but you need to have trained people who need to put in the data, analyse the data, and work on that data. If you feed garbage, it’s simply garbage in, garbage out!

Henry Ford, the famous American industrialist and business magnate, and founder of the Ford Motor Company once said: “The only thing worse than training your employees and having them leave is not training them and having them stay!” This appliesto all trades including corrosion.

As the year comes to a close, let me take this opportunity to wish each and every reader, advertiser and well-wisher a great festive season and a wonderful year ahead!!!

August – September 2025

Corrosion remains a significant challenge to India’s industrial growth, resulting in considerable economic losses and undermining public safety. India loses over Rs 12 lakh crore every year to corrosion-related damage. This is equivalent to nearly 4.2 percent of the country’s GDP. With nearly 90 percent of industries depending on steel, and 25 – 33 percent of it lost to rust, surface engineering must be treated as a national priority!
While a completely ‘Corrosion-free India’ is likely an aspirational goal, significant strides are being made through various measures, including research, awareness campaigns, and the adoption of corrosion-resistant materials and technologies.
There has to be a concerted effort if we have to be anywhere near a Corrosion-free India. We may not be able to eradicate corrosion all of a sudden, but it can be done gradually. The cost of corrosion is around 2.1 percent of the GDP in the USA, and in Japan, it is around 1 percent. So, India with 4.2 percent is losing quite a lot of money! But to have a Corrosion-free India, there has to be a thrust on education and training.

AMPP, a world leader in standards and training has recently designated India as a separate area to focus on, reflecting the organization's recognition of the region's significant growth and engagement in the materials protection and performance field. There are many new developments happening around the world in the field of corrosion management in terms of new technologies, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, etc. Workforce development is one focus area of AMPP through their various courses, certifications, and seminars.
There is always a shortage for a skilled workforce, and we need to tackle this challenge, by equipping a workforce that will work towards combating challenges related to corrosion. After all, India is a leader contributing to the global workforce.
The AMPP India Area comprises 6 chapters and 7 student chapters. AMPP Kerala Chapter is the latest one that was inaugurated a couple of weeks ago. A report on the inauguration appears in this issue, besides all our regular features and columns. And, as a bountiful monsoon comes to an end and the festive season begins, let me take this opportunity to wish you all a great time ahead!

June 2025 – July 2025

The entire world has been going through some difficult times lately. The armed conflicts in various parts of the globe, and a major tragedy back home in India – the disastrous crash of Air India flight AI-171 in Ahmedabad a couple of weeks ago. At the outset, we offer our sincere prayers and condolences to all the devastated families who have lost their loved ones in the unfortunate
incident.

In this issue, we talk about insulation coatings and its growing use in industries operating in high-temperature environments, such as aerospace, metallurgy, and energy production. They increasingly seek advanced insulation coatings that can withstand extreme heat while maintaining structural integrity and performance. In addition to the growing focus on energy efficiency, global market growth is also spurred by rising awareness of environmental impacts and the increasing regulatory emphasis on sustainability. Manufacturers and industrial players are now more aware of the cost-saving potential of insulation coatings, which help extend the lifespan of equipment while reducing energy consumption and associated operational costs. The trend toward smart building solutions, energy-efficient systems, and green construction further supports the adoption of these coatings across sectors. Moreover, as businesses continue to face fluctuating energy prices and stricter environmental regulations, insulation coatings are being recognized for their significant contribution to energy conservation and environmental protection.

Rising construction activities in emerging economies also boost demand for thermal insulation coatings for buildings. In March 2025, an initiative in Gujarat involved painting roofs in slum areas with a reflective white coating to combat extreme heat. This project encompassed 400 households in Ahmedabad and is part of a global scientific trial studying the impact of indoor heat on health and economic outcomes in developing countries. Residents reported benefits such as cooler homes, improved sleep, and reduced electricity bills. Insulation coatings play a significant role in mitigating global warming by reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions associated with heating and cooling buildings. In the meanwhile we look forward to meeting you at the CII Surface & Coatings Expo, Chennai; the ICENDE 2025 / ICECORR 2025, Kochi, and the launch of AMPP India’s Kerala Chapter, also in Kochi, very soon!

India is expected to be at the forefront in terms of trunk/transmission oil and gas pipeline network additions in Asia, accounting for more than 40% of the region's total pipeline length additions by 2028, according to GlobalData.

As of 2024, the country has around 43,000 km of pipelines to transport crude oil and petroleum products.

GlobalData's latest report, 'New Build Trunk-Transmission Pipelines Projects by Development Stage, Regions, Countries, Project Type and Forecast to 2028,' reveals that out of 62 projects to commence operations by 2028 in India, gas pipeline projects are likely to account for 48.4%, followed by product pipelines and oil pipelines at 40.3% and 11.3%, respectively.

India is also set to lead in terms of transmission pipeline length in Asia by 2028, with an expected 29,800 km of length additions by 2028. The pipeline development helps the country to enhance its energy infrastructure and meet the growing demand for petroleum from the industrial, domestic, and transportation sectors.

The oil and gas sector is particularly vulnerable due to the harsh operating conditions and the corrosive nature of the materials involved. Preventing corrosion is essential not only for protecting asses but also for ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and maintaining public trust.
Pipe coating along with Cathodic Protection is a critical process in modern infrastructure, ensuring that pipelines—whether they carry oil, gas, water, or other materials—are protected from damage, corrosion, and wear. With the increasing global demand for efficient and long-lasting pipeline systems, the importance of pipe coating cannot be overstated.

The global pipe coating market is projected to reach US$9.1 billion by the end of 2024 and grow at a CAGR of 4.8% to hit US$12.6 billion by 2031, according to a press release from Persistence Market Research. This growth is driven by increasing demand from industries seeking corrosion-resistant and durable coatings to enhance pipeline longevity.

In this issue's cover feature, we try and analyze the various types, methods, benefits, the importance of pipe coatings, and the new developments happening within the pipe coating industry. This, plus all our regular columns like the Interview, company profile, case studies, industry reports, etc.

February 2025 – March 2025

Corrosion is a significant problem in the chemical industry, damaging equipment and causing environmental harm. Chemicals like sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and hydrogen peroxide are used in many chemical processes, which are inherently corrosive. Aggressive substances like aqueous solutions with different concentrations of salts can corrode equipment. Besides, pH, oxygen and dissolved gases, hardness, and temperature also promote corrosion.

This results in decreased equipment life, environmental damage, plant shutdowns, product contamination, damage to adjacent equipment, and hazardous conditions, amongst others.
The chemical resistant coating market size was estimated at US$ 7.60 billion in 2024. The sector is expected to grow from US$ 7.90 billion in 2025 to US$ 11.26 billion by 2034, at a CAGR (growth rate) expected to be around 4% during the forecast period (2025 - 2034), according to a Market Research Future report.

Factors which drive the demand for the chemical resistant coatings includes the rapid industrial development and urbanization of economies across the globe. Growth means more infrastructure and there has to be an emphasis to ensure that the assets are well protected. In this issue, we try and discuss how this can be done.
In a pioneering move poised to reshape India's innovation landscape, the Union Budget 2025-26, has allocated `20,000 crore to the Department of Science and Technology (DST) to initiate a private sector-driven research and development (R&D) fund. This will have an impact on the chemical and petrochemical industry too.

In our Interview section, Atlas Copco elucidates the parameters one should keep in mind while choosing a compressor for one's purpose, especially spray painting and abrasive blasting purposes. This and much more in our latest issue with all our regular columns, new product launches, technical features, etc. Happy reading!

Wishing each one of you, our readers, advertisers and well-wishers, a great New Year ahead!!!

December 2024 - January 2025

India currently ranks 20th in the global shipbuilding industry with its 0.06% share in the global shipbuilding market. The story of India;s government setting a goal to become a top 10 shipbuilder by 2030 and a top five one by 2047 has been doing the rounds for some time now. Government support and initiatives like the Scheme for Financial Assistance to Shipyards in India (SFAS) are helping the industry grow. India;s coastline and proximity to major shipping routes reduce transportation costs and turnaround times. India;s labor costs are lower than other shipbuilding nations, which attracts international clients. Indian shipyards are specializing in niche segments like offshore support vessels, dredgers, and ferries. The Government of India is in the process of approving a `25,000 crore Maritime Development Fund (MDF) shortly, aimed at advancing India;s maritime sector, aligning with the nation;s
Make-in-India initiative to establish the country as a global manufacturing hub.

Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL), India;s leading warship and submarine builder, has announced a massive expansion project aimed at doubling its shipbuilding capacity over the next 4 – 5
years. The new infrastructure will enable MDL to enhance its production rate, modernize operations, and meet the rising demand for advanced naval vessels in India and abroad.

Cochin Shipyard invested close to `3,000 crore recently to complete work on a new dry dock, and another international ship repair facility at Kochi. This is expected to raise ship repair facility from just below 100 ships per year now to over 160 ships, allowing it to take up ships repair work in a big way for the global market. The Adani Group is also planning a major shipbuilding initiative at Mundra Port in Gujarat, with a target of reaching a US$ 62 billion market by 2047.

In this issue, we try and evaluate how all this, would mean a boost for the marine coatings industry. At the same time, stringent environment regulations regarding the use of toxic paint see marine coatings manufacturers introducing low VOC, non-toxic coatings addressing both corrosion protection and pollution prevention and seeing higher acceptance.

Wishing each one of you, our readers, advertisers and well-wishers, a great New Year ahead!!!

Editorial October – November 2024

After water, concrete is the most widely used material on earth. Approximately 4.3 billion tons of cement – the principal ingredient in concrete – were produced in 2021.

According to a report by Future Market Insights, Inc, the global waterproof coating market is set to thrive at a CAGR of 4.02% between 2022 and 2032 while holding a value of US$15.81 billion in 2022. The anticipated value is US$23.45 billion by the year 2032.

Waterproof coatings are expected to grow significantly in the coming years due to their increasing demand across various industries. As a result of the increasing population and rapid urbanization, waterproof coatings have become more popular around the world, which will aid in the growth of the market. In addition, the increased commercial and residential infrastructure around the world is expected to result in a rise in demand for waterproof coatings and thereby drive growth in the market.

Waterproofing is essential because concrete can corrode. Concrete corrosion happens when concrete breaks down due to exposure to corrosive substances. This can happen when concrete which is alkaline in nature is exposed to sulfur compounds, salty or acidic water, chlorides, microbes, nitrates, fluorides…

Concrete corrosion can be dangerous because concrete is porous, allowing corrosive materials to soak in and cause damage from within. It can also weaken the structure of reinforced concrete, as the steel bars that provide strength can corrode as well.

In this issue, we discuss how waterproofing methods can assuage the problem to an extent possible.
Plus, also all our regular columns, news, case studies and features.

Let me also take this opportunity to wish you all a great festive season!!!

Wishing you happy reading with all our regular features and columns.
