Kansai Nerolac Tests Excel Everlast Paint in Extreme Stratospheric Conditions

Kansai Nerolac conducted a pioneering test by sending its Excel Everlast exterior paint on a stratospheric balloon to 86,000 feet, exposing it to extreme conditions including temperatures below -64°C, intense UV radiation, and low atmospheric pressure. The paint returned unblemished, demonstrating its durability. This campaign, developed with agency ULKA, aims to validate the paint's toughness beyond laboratory tests, highlighting features like nano-silica technology and crack-bridging for enhanced protection.
