During an interview at the AMPP conference, Michael Terralavoro, Account Manager at Neville Chemical Company, highlighted the company’s progress in developing innovative resins aimed at improving performance and sustainability in coating applications.

Bio-hybrid resins for safer, more efficient coatings

One of the key points discussed was the importance of resin design in the durability and performance of coatings. As he explained, Neville tailors its solutions to the specific needs of each formulator, adjusting variables such as aromaticity levels, softening points, and viscosity. This customization helps optimize product performance across different industrial applications.

In line with global trends toward safer chemistry, the company is investing in the development of bio-hybrid resins. These new solutions aim to reduce the use of substances with potential toxicity risks, such as nonylphenol, without compromising technical performance.

One of our new products does exactly that.

Michael said, underscoring the company’s commitment to sustainable innovation.

Improvements in industrial strength and flexibility

He also highlighted the role of epoxy modifiers developed by Neville, which help improve the chemical resistance and flexibility of coatings. These properties are especially valuable in applications such as industrial floor coatings or systems that require epoxy accelerators.

Finally, the representative invited those interested to learn more about its solutions through the corporate website NevChem.com or directly with its technical team, reinforcing the company’s openness to collaboration and specialized support.
