Research and Technology

The Berger approach to work and innovation.

  • Researching Excellence

    Our range of exterior and interior products, coatings and systems use the latest technology incubated in our labs.

    Our R & T has four main pillars of focus :

    • 1Product

      Our team of researchers and technicians work to constantly improve the performance of our products on a variety of parameters - to make them more durable, more adhesive, more washable, more resistant to weathering and corrosion.

    • 2Aesthetics

      Our approach to aesthetics is two-fold. We strive to create the best and most extensive colour profile and matchless finishes. We also study fashion, trends and colour forecasts in order to tweak our product range.

    • 3Environment

      Asian Paints Berger is committed to reviewing and re-engineering formulations and manufacturing processes continuously, in order to address environmental concerns.

    • 4Compliance

      Our products are formulated and extensively tested to better the standards laid down by regulating bodies such as ASTM and EXOVA UK.

  • Creating Quality

    • Our range of interior products has the lowest VOCs in their class.
    • Our exterior products are specially formulated with exceptional anti-corrosiveness, anti-carbonation, weather resistance and high thermo plasticity, making them ideal for the challenging Middle Eastern conditions.
    • Our products are non-toxic. They are free from heavy metals, lead and formaldehyde.
    • Our R & T has resulted in a range of highly washable products with excellent stain cleansing properties.
  • Facilities for Change

    We have dedicated R & T laboratories for different functions. These include laboratories for paint development and testing for architectural and industrial applications, microbiology laboratories, modern instrumentation laboratory, resin and functional polymer development laboratory. The highlights of the Dubai unit are a Quality Assessment Lab, Development Lab, daylight cabinet for colour matching and Scrub Resistance Tester.

  • A Team of Bright Minds

    Our state-of-the-art equipment is matched by the spark of human inspiration that has led to innovations and breakthroughs. We welcome the best talent and give our folks an atmosphere of enquiry and openness to thrive in. Regular innovation sessions are held to generate ideas which are then vetted for feasibility and actioned.

    Our scientists provide product development support for short-term business goals. They also work on long-term projects with an emphasis on developing improved chemistry platforms that make for better product functionality.

  • Committed to the Future

    To create excellence, we have invested substantially in R & T resources and infrastructure. In the years ahead, it will continue to hold the key to our performance.
