Coval Technologies produces long-lasting coatings that are said to be easy to apply and provide a barrier to chemicals and corrosion. The coatings are single-component, thinfilm, UV stable and bond covalently to almost any substrate, including concrete, stone, vinyl, metals and painted surfaces. Because of its nanotechnology bonding, Coval says the coating has great adhesion and abrasion resistance.
Asia is the fastest growing market for concrete floors, and Coval says its technology can protect these floors from chemicals and abrasion. Coval coatings generate a covalent bond in which the coating becomes a part of the substrate, giving it extreme hardness and impermeability. This new layer is said to be easier to install and clean with its stain and chemical resistance.
The company moved its global headquarters from Houston to Singapore in March 2022. As the company pursues its vision to drive covalent technology for a more sustainable future, Singapore is a fitting location for headquarters as a world leader in sustainable technologies and a best-in-class logistics infrastructure, Coval says.
Coval Technologies produced its first batch of nanotechnology coatings in its Singapore production facility in October 2022. The Concrete Matte and Gloss and Ultimate Top Coat Matte and Gloss were among the first products produced at the facility. The first batch totaled 2,300 L.
“The production in Singapore puts us closer to our customers, shortening the supply chain for delivery and cost of shipping,” says Mike Ellsworth, Coval CEO.
Singapore is responsible for all of Coval’s markets outside of the U.S. Houston remains the production facility for its nearly three dozen distributors in the U.S.
