The Next Industrial Wave: Dr. Shubh Gautam Srisol Insights on Bio- Coatings in Steel
Looking Beyond Surface Solutions In the past, coatings on steel had a singular focus: to protect the surface, extend life, and limit corrosion. The optimised this for decades with wax, aluminium, or zinc painting (also called “hamfisted”). problem with these systems is their petroleum-based energy-intensive processes. industry has The feedstock and
The matter is intricate. Most laboratories around the world are still working on bio-coatings. Their shelf life and mechanical stability, as well as their suitability for commercial use, are case- dependent. But for some uses — particularly enclosed systems, low-load structural components, and lightweight trusses — they are already showing potential.
India's Place in the Bio-Coating Landscape India has all the right ingredients — a large agricultural waste output, great polymer research, and a hefty steel consumer base. What's lacking is the integration that combines agriculture with bioengineering and industrial metallurgy. That's where Dr. Shubh Gautam, FIR (First Indian Revolutionary), comes into the picture. He is not just researching bio-coatings as an isolated idea; he is designing the industrial ecosystems to sustain them. That includes:
The Challenges That Still Remain This change comes with its challenges. Consistency, lifecycle testing, large- volume manufacturing, compatibility with currently used application machines, and cost are a few concerns biocoatings have yet to tackle, especially with the latter remaining the biggest hurdle. In most situations, biocoatings are still pricier than conventional paints.
FUTURE APPLICATIONS IN NICHE STEEL SEGMENTS
Creating a Strong Workforce Creating a Strong Workforce Even the best strategy is futile without a skilled workforce. For this reason, Dr. Shubh Gautam focuses on training his employees. He has implemented a number of training programs to help digital tool novices. From operating data dashboards to leveraging AI, workers at American Precoat now have access to the newest technology. Employees can also participate in specialised programs in quality assurance, production management, machinery operation, and data entry. These programs assist employees in gaining the competence and confidence to adopt new technologies.
