Many business segments such as transportation, healthcare, office, and building interior need the product surface not to accumulate the dirt / dust and the product performance longevity to provide end users with better working, living experience, and reduce the building operation cost. The surface normally gets dirty during air flow that carries dust to the surface and the white surface looks dark / yellow since the surface color is deteriorated with lighting or heating. We have developed a patented powder coating TrioGuardTM, which repels dust more than ten times better than a regular powder coating and offers white color stability for at least 10 years. Additionally, it provides excellent bacteria and mold growth resistance as well as the fire resistance. TrioGuard powder coating has super hydrophobicity, excellent oleophobicity, good durability, and wash ability. TrioGuard powder coating has been commercially applied for metal product with reasonable cost.
