2 Eckart (March 12, 2019) – Brilliant, Sustainable, Groundbreaking: Effect Pigments for Tomorrow’s
Applications – “Moving Forward in Brilliance” is the theme ECKART chose for the pigment
innovations it presents at this year’s European Coatings Show (ECS), Nuremberg, March 19-21.
Innovations include sustainable solutions for the coating and the printing industry. New solutions for
functional applications allow groundbreaking efficiency increases with protective coatings. In Hall
4A-314A, the producer also shows innovative concepts to demonstrate how effect pigments can
support self-driving cars or electromagnetic interference boxes.
Effect Pigments for Autonomous Vehicles – The concept of autonomous vehicles presents an
immense challenge to the coating industry. The vehicles use radar or lidar based sensors to convey
the movement of other vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians to the on-board computer. Conventional
popular silver metallic coatings could reflect, reduce, or absorb the radar waves. At ECS 2019,
ECKART presents first concepts for radar permeable silver coatings. On the one hand, the new
pigment combinations guarantee highly brilliant silver metallic shades with comparable hiding
power to existing silver metallic colors while transmitting radar waves on the other. The concept can
be matched with formulations and binders as well as with the vehicle design.
Top Leading Key Manufacturers are: Eckart, Novamet, Kechuang, Xingke, Xinri, Nonfemet and
others. New product launches and continuous technological innovations are the key strategies
adopted by the major players.
