The center will cater to Pune city, its suburbs, and neighboring regions, marking a significant move in Cartisan's expansion plans.'

Concrete is frequently used in civil engineering structures since it is a durable and robust material. Buildings must also fulfil the owner's and architect's expectations for their aesthetic appeal. By avoiding water infiltration, sealing, and adapting surface cracks, protective coating solutions can increase the concrete's longevity as well as its appearance and color palette. Concrete structures are subjected to a variety of environmental factors, including normal atmospheric carbonation, aggressive influences from polluted urban and industrial environments, marine atmosphere, and liquid or gaseous chemicals. These factors may destroy or weaken the embedded steel or concrete reinforcement depending on their location and use. The two most frequent factors contributing to concrete deterioration and reinforcing corrosion are carbonation and chloride attack.

Electronic devices now come in a variety of sizes and have radically improved performance and mobility. Electronics are everywhere, from wearables and consumer electronics like smartphones and tablets to specialized industrial equipment like automation controls. Components inside of these devices may corrode if they are not adequately shielded from pollutants. As a result, electronic devices operate worse, which increases the risk of electrical shorts and equipment failure. Smaller, more advanced, densely printed circuit boards (PCBs) with high-performance components, LEDs, and a variety of tiny components are making greater use of electronic protective coatings. The coating on electronic protection devices helps shield electronics from contaminants that could shorten their lifespan. Metals, polymers, and organic and inorganic compounds are used as coating materials in this sector. The use and function of the equipment determine its material consumption. Coatings are advantageous for mechanical, thermal, optical, electrical, and magnetic properties. In contrast, coatings support the creation of circuit boards as well as the protection, ornamentation, and design of devices. When compared to traditional conformal coatings, 3M Novec Electronic Grade Coatings provide corrosion protection for delicate inside device components. These ultra-thin coatings also provide protection from moisture, humidity, contaminants, oils, sulphur, and salt water immersion. These can be applied without masking or curing because they are simple to work with and can be reused as well.

The Asia Pacific region is expected to dominate the global market during the estimated time period. This is owing to the growing population, rapid urbanization and industrialization, increased need for infrastructural development, and rise in construction activities. Additionally, government programmes to invest in infrastructure, notably in the energy and transportation sectors, to improve the connectivity between cities will also help the region to generate notable revenues in the coming years.
