Everlight Chemical Wins Two HongTu Awards: 2026 Excellent Cases for Sustainable Development in Green Coatings Technology

Eversorb® CP2 and Eversorb® EP1 Recognized, Marking a Second Consecutive Year of Awards!

 

Everlight Chemical receives the HongTu Award: 2026 Excellent Case for Sustainable Development in Green Coatings Technology

 

Great news! Everlight Chemical has won the HongTu Award · 2026 Excellent Case for Sustainable Development in Green Coatings Technology, presented by Paint & Coatings Industry magazine, for two application cases: "Eversorb® CP2 for Surface Coatings on Lightweight Carbon Fiber Composite Automotive Parts" and "Eversorb® EP1: An Anti-Yellowing Solution for Thick-Cast Clear Epoxy Resin". Following last year's award for Eversorb® AS1, this recognition reflects Everlight Chemical's continued commitment to R&D in green coatings technology.

The award ceremony took place on September 17 in Hefei, Anhui, as part of the 2026 Green Coatings Development Forum & Annual Symposium on Waterborne Technology, held from September 15 to 18. The event brought together experts in waterborne, UV-curable, powder, high-solids and solvent-free coatings to discuss carbon reduction, energy efficiency and sustainable industry development.

 

Award Case 1: Eversorb® CP2 | Enabling Lightweight Vehicles

Carbon fiber composites are key to building lighter, more energy-efficient automotive parts. However, their surface coatings are exposed to UV radiation over long periods, leading to yellowing and degradation that affect both appearance and durability. Eversorb® CP2 is designed specifically for carbon fiber composite coatings. It improves weather resistance and extends the service life of components, so lightweight materials keep their look and performance for longer.

 

Award Case 2: Eversorb® EP1 | Anti-Yellowing for Thick-Cast Clear Epoxy Resin

Thick-cast clear epoxy resin is widely used in casting, encapsulation and decorative applications. Its thick-section structure, however, makes it more prone to yellowing under light exposure, reducing clarity and product value. Eversorb® EP1 was developed for thick-cast epoxy systems. It effectively suppresses yellowing and keeps products crystal clear over time, reducing replacements due to cosmetic degradation and cutting resource waste.

 

Forum Presentation: New Technology for Clear and Tinted Coatings on Carbon Fiber Composites

At the forum on September 17, Yung-Chi Yang, Deputy Director of the Technology Department, Specialty Chemicals Division at Everlight Chemical,, delivered a presentation titled "Research on New Light Stabilizer Technology for Clear and Tinted Coatings on Lightweight Carbon Fiber Composites". He shared how new light stabilizers improve weather resistance and preserve surface appearance in clear and tinted coatings on carbon fiber composites, and discussed coating challenges and solutions for lightweight materials with industry attendees.
