Research and Development

Our Target Line Paint helps make automated driving a reality

Nippon Paint’s Target Line Paint enables LiDAR to recognize black paint, such as paint used on asphalt road surface, by using a technology that controls the intensity of reflection according to the wavelength of light.

Antiviral and Antibacterial Coating

With the simple push of a spray agent, this nano-coating technology provides long-lasting antiviral and antibacterial functionality through a photocatalytic effect, protecting people’s health and providing peace of mind against the growing threat posed by viruses in recent years.

Anti-fog and anti-Reflection technology for face shields

We have imparted anti-fog and anti-Reflection functionality to face shields, whose demand has been growing in the COVID-19 turmoil, by applying interior paint technology for automobiles. The technology contributes to reducing users’ stress.

Anti-viral technology using visible light responsive photocatalyst

We have applied photocatalyst functionality to suppress the virus activity to paints. The use of such paints for architectural interiors achieves a safe and reliable living environment.

Technology to exhibit special viscoelasticity by controlling the urea reaction

We offer more flexible and durable urea resin coating films. We contribute to saving labor and manpower by extending the service life of industrial products.

Environmentally friendly technology to prevent concrete spalling

We have succeeded in using only water-based materials for the process to prevent spalling of concrete structures by applying coating films. The use of water-based materials reduces the risk of fire and generation of hazardous chemicals during work.

A paint which hardly spatters during painting using a paint roller

We have developed a paint focused on easy painting. A technology to prevent spattering of paints also helps reduce the environmental impact.

Technology for reusing heat by using a chemical heat storage material

We have developed a material that stores heat by using a chemical technology without using complicated equipment. The technology makes it possible to use heat energy efficiently.

E-coat (Electrodeposition Coating) Technology

This is derived from rust prevention technology that prevents corrosion of auto bodies. We have been working to further reduce the environmental impact, such as reducing social loss attributed to corrosion of steel and reducing heavy metal consumption.

Technology to design insulation powder/insulation electrodeposition

This technology makes it possible to impart insulation functionality to parts for various applications by using coating films. It is expected to contribute to creating a smart society.
