Clean Coats

What Clean Coats does

Clean Coats P. Ltd. is a Mumbai-based specialty industrial coatings manufacturer founded circa 2000, operating four product divisions: Flooring and Wall Coating Solutions, High Performance Coating, Construction Chemicals, and Exports. Its core technology spans epoxy, polyurethane, phenolic epoxy, coal tar epoxy, glass flake, and solvent-free coating systems engineered for corrosion protection, hygienic surfacing, potable water compatibility, and high-temperature or underwater service environments. Flagship proprietary formulations include CLEAN TECH PW (food grade epoxy for potable water, WRAS / CFTRI / AWWA C210 / IS16676 certified, with 2.5 million+ m2 installed), CHEMI TECH UW (underwater and cryogenic pipeline coating), CORRO TECH HR 650 (heat resistant up to 650-700°C), CHEMI TECH UC (resistant to 33% HCL), and CONPROOF IA (EIL-approved bipolar corrosion-inhibiting concrete admixture).

The company monetizes through two primary streams: sale of specialty coating products (one-time license / unit-based revenue) and end-to-end project execution services delivered by an in-house application team for high-value enterprise coating projects (professional services revenue). GTM is enterprise field sales targeting large industrial buyers in Oil & Gas / Refinery (BPCL, IOCL), Power (Tata Power, Reliance Energy), Pharma & Food (GSK, Ranbaxy, Dr. Reddy's, Cipla, Wockhardt, Parle, Cadbury), Water & Irrigation (L&T on major Indian lift irrigation and supply schemes), Steel (Tata Steel, Essar Steel, Bhushan Steel), Automotive (Hyundai, Tata Motors), and Renewables (solar tracker projects in Morocco). Pricing is custom quotation-based with multi-year contract cadence; no publicly disclosed list pricing exists.

In November 2025, BirlaNu Ltd (a subsidiary of CKA Birla Group) acquired 100% of Clean Coats for INR 120 crore (~USD 14.3 million) at a 2.3x revenue multiple, integrating it into BirlaNu's construction chemicals platform which is targeting INR 1,000 crore in segment revenue over five years. Clean Coats maintains ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certifications and serves 27 export markets through a dedicated exports division across Asia, the Gulf, Europe, Africa, Australia, and South America.
