2022 Safety Excellence
By: Jeff White, Induron Executive Vice President and General Manager
March Madness is upon us, which means one team will be cutting down the nets in Houston in the coming weeks. Hopefully, for the first time in school history, it will be the Alabama Crimson Tide. I believe basketball is one of the most unpredictable sports out there. Coaches and players alike, work to eliminate as much of the variance in performance by drawing up plays and working on execution to include offense, defense, shooting, and time management among many other things. Continue reading 2022 Safety Excellence

2023, Induron is Ready
By: Davies Hood, Induron President
As we flip the calendar from 2022 to 2023, I must say that I am optimistic about Induron’s position in our target markets. 2022 was another stressful year in the coatings industry–much like the two preceding years–because of a myriad of supply chain issues ranging from consistently high inflation to shipping delays, and in some extreme cases, ABSOLUTELY NO RAW MATERIAL available. Continue reading 2023, Induron is Ready
NSF 600 Implementation Deadline Extended: Now What?
By: Dr. Jeffrey Lackey, Induron Protective Coatings Technical Director
The potable water tank industry went into a frenzied panic in 2021 when it was announced that the NSF standard for coatings for potable water was being changed to be significantly more restrictive on the levels of certain chemicals (NSF/ANSI/CAN61-2019.)
Over the course of the year, we’ve informed our customers of the truth about the new standards, how they impact job sites, and ultimately, how the change is “old news” to Induron.
While many suppliers scrambled for solutions, Induron looked at the new standards, nodded, and pressed on with “business as usual.” Why? Because years before other companies were forced to reduce the levels of certain chemicals in their products for potable water, Induron had made the proactive decision to design and develop environmentally-friendly products that are as safe as possible for drinking water. Not because we were forced to do so by outside agencies, but because it was simply the right thing to do.
Now the agencies in charge of certifying products for potable water use, such as UL, are saying that many in our industry are complaining that they simply haven’t had time in the last couple of years to make the changes in their products required to meet the implementation date of January 26, 2023. They’ve petitioned the agencies to push the implementation date to the middle of the year–July 31, 2023. This change clearly has some people still struggling to meet these new standards. But again, Induron calmly carries on.
Induron’s Competitive Advantage: Market Focus and Proactivity
Change is inevitable, including (perhaps especially) changes in environmental regulations. But the inevitability of such changes allows a company with a clear vision to deal with such changes by being proactive rather than being forced into ruched, knee-jerk reactions. For Induron, the water tank market is a significant, targeted market and not a “side business.” Our specialized focus allows us to develop and plan proactively. Thus, while others spend their resources scrambling to meet new regulations, Induron can keep our resources focused on serving our customers and developing next generation technologies.
