Learning Centered Environment
Elinor Coatings was founded to push science to create a more sustainable approach to new materials development. Students in our labs learn how to work creatively but systematically. You will learn lab safety and organization, and apply your coursework to a real research workplace.
Our internships give you responsibility and accountability. As a laboratory intern, you will learn to formulate coatings, operate instruments, follow standardized testing protocols, and record and interpret data.
Commitment to Sustainability
At Elinor Coatings, the focus is on minimizing environmental impact and promoting a safer future. Previously, coatings commonly contained toxic heavy metals like lead. However, Elinor focuses on utilizing less toxic or bio-based materials, avoiding the use of chromates or isocyanates - chemicals found in many other coatings and known for their harmful effects.
Through extensive research and development, Elinor Coatings creates coatings that you can feel good about. Elinor prioritizes the health and well-being of not only their employees but the planet as well.
