NBC has led product development based on "environmental consideration" in the coating industry. It developed the world's first water primer for plastic bumpers in 1994, and completed the world's first total water-base coating system, including the base coat, in 1998. NBC continues to develop and introduce its more advanced next-generation water-base coating system, for the further reduction of volatile organic compounds (VOC). NBC has promoted the development of proprietary technology, toward "100% high solid," the environment-friendly technology for the ultimate water-base coating. In particular, NBC's film coating and bi-layer molding are "decorative techniques" that go beyond simple paint and coating. This epoch-making chemical coating system provides more sensitive beauty using high-potential material plastics, ahead of traditional coating concepts. Technological innovations have proceeded rapidly in many fields, including OA equipment, cellular phones and digital home appliances. Plastic coating is required to have an advanced design and functionality to respond to such innovations. The development of new materials in response to nano-technology is also important. NBC integrates its sophisticated technologies in the automotive industry to establish "Intelligent Coating Technology (ICT)," for such special coatings in the future.
