Zetatech launches Zecoa additive for lower-carbon coatings
KUALA LUMPUR: Zetatech Sdn Bhd has introduced Zecoa, a nanotechnology-based additive for paint and coating applications designed to reduce carbon dioxide (CO₂) and heat impact.
KUALA LUMPUR - Zetatech Sdn Bhd has unveiled Zecoa, a pioneering nanotechnology-based additive engineered to lower CO₂ emissions and heat output in paint and coating products. Managing Director Associate Professor Dr Rozzeta Dolah highlighted that Zecoa is the result of translating academic research into a market-ready product. Its unique catalytic technique could potentially expand into other industrial uses, according to Dr Dolah, who is also a researcher at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.
The Zecoa innovation was showcased at the University Research and Innovation Investment Summit 2026 (URIIS 2026) held at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur. The technology, which incorporates nanomaterials and specialized catalysts, holds promise for multiple industries. At the summit, Zetatech formed strategic alliances with Nanoviz – Internationalisation and Euro-Circuit Technology (ECT) – Manufacturing Ready to boost commercialization efforts.
Additionally, Zetatech received a notable accolade from the Malaysia Book of Records (MBOR) for its groundbreaking work in CO₂ adsorbent paint, namely the Mizu Paint product. This dual-purpose nano paint absorbs CO₂ from the atmosphere while simultaneously reducing heat, aligning with the Malaysia Blue-Nation Agenda's focus on Made in Malaysia, Invented in Malaysia, Owned by Malaysia.
