April 12-15 2010: Reactive Surfaces presented technical papers, performed a product demonstration, and exhibited at the 2010 American Coatings Show in Charlotte, NC. The show was a resounding success for us as we solidified current research and commercial relationships, learned of intriguing new industry needs, and fostered new innovative endeavors with a large group of highly interested collaborators. Excerpts and full articles from the show's daily publication are linked below.
Daily 1 Excerpt - Melinda Wales' talk is briefly discussed and an interview with James Rawlins features a picture of Reactive Surfaces ProteCoat additive working after an 18 month outdoor exposure.
Daily 3 Excerpt - Discussed Reactive Surfaces emerging technologies.
Link to Full Articles - Hosted on the American Coatings Show website.
May 2010: The third article in the 3 part series published in the May issue of Coating's World magazine, Bio-Engineered Additives-A Pipeline of Value Delivering Unique Functionality in Your Coating, discusses Reactive Surfaces products in various stages of development and how they will shape the future of the paint and coatings industry
March 2010: We present a summary of our current technologies and a primer in formulating with bioengineered additives in this web-broadcasted seminar.

March 2010: With the second article in a 3 part series published in Coatings World magazine entitled, Formulating with Bioengineered Additives: Enhancing the Performance and Functionality of Paints and Coatings, we show how our research proves that ours and other bioengineered "green" additives, derived from natural sources, can add unique functionality to paints and coatings without the need for any changes to the formulation process.
February 2010: In part 1 of a 3 part series of articles published in Coatings World entitled,
Functional Additives: A Platform for Revitalizing the Paint and Coatings Industry, Reactive Surfaces explores the significant commodity crisis currently facing the paint and coating industry. In collaboration with Chemark Consulting we show how ours and other bio-based functional additives have the potential to revitalize the industry, bringing value and emerging markets.
The American Coatings Show awarded Reactive Surfaces the 2008 American Coatings Award as "the most innovative coatings technology of 2008, and one that will change the coatings industry for the next 50 years."
