Excellence on any surface
Based on our extensive knowledge of the industry, we aim to help our customers excel in their markets by satisfying the end-user needs:
- Durability: superior appearance, enhanced performance
- Workability: convenience and ease of handling
- Sustainability: social and economic viability
- Environmental care: systems that are both low in odor and free of volatile organic compounds (VOC).
Painting, varnishing and floor-laying are typical DIY (Do-it-Yourself) jobs. The criteria applied when choosing the paints, coatings or other materials read: quality, appearance and good workability. However, environmental and health aspects also have a decisive effect on the decision to buy. If the paint or varnish has a strong "solvent" smell, consumers are averse to purchasing it. The increasing awareness of allergic reactions to preservatives and solvents, provides a further indicator that irritant-free products, offering optimum workability, performance and high surface finish, are the wave of the future.
Cognis recognized the associated trends long ago, and through our Coatings unit, we have been able to respond effectively to the changing needs of both consumers & customers. Cognis solutions offer the means to achieving excellence on any surface.
