Road to Net Zero Seminar 2026

Reducing carbon emissions in the coatings industry is an increasingly important step toward addressing global climate change and building a more sustainable future.

The industry is energy-intensive so by lowering its carbon footprint, the coatings sector can significantly contribute to worldwide emissions-reduction goals. 

The British Coatings Federation (BCF) is the Trade Association representing the interests of the decorative paints, industrial and powder coatings, printing inks, and wallcovering manufacturers in the UK, making them the perfect platform to discuss the industry's roadmap to Net Zero. 

Road to Net Zero Seminar 2026

On Tuesday 24th February, BCF will host the third Road to Net Zero seminar at Spaces at the Spine in Liverpool and we're proud to be co-sponsoring this important industry event. 

One of the significant concerns in the paint, pigment and coatings industry is the risk of biofilm formation, which has become more prevalent as biocide use has been restricted by EU regulations.

The use of Ice Pigging has proven highly effective in mitigating this risk. By removing all traces of paint, pigment or coating and ensuring no moisture or residue remains in the pipeline, this method drastically reduces the likelihood of biofilm development.

How does Ice Pigging work in the coatings industry? 

Ensuring pipelines are clean is key to producing non-contaminated, high quality paint, pigment and coating products.

Our innovative Ice Pigging technology removes and prevents biofilm and other contaminants by using a slurry ice mixture which exerts high shear forces on the inner walls of the pipelines to clean without causing any damage. 

Ice Pigging is a pipeline cleaning process utilising a two-phase ice and liquid slurry which forms a semi-solid plug within the pipe known as the Ice Pig. The slurry is pumped through the pipe like a liquid, but moves through pipework like a solid plug, detaching contaminants and fouling from the pipe wall and carrying them out of the pipe within the Ice Pig.

Ice Pigging boosts production

Regular Ice Pigging keeps pipelines clean and free of biofilm and other contaminants. This not only ensures that product is of high quality but it keeps production lines running smoothly and effectively, minimising downtime and maximising product production.

Using Ice Pigging to regularly clean pipelines in your paint, pigment or coatings factory will not only save time, but in turn will save you money, reduce waste and increase productivity.
