PCI recently spoke with Steve Ridge, Senior VP Supply Chain and Manufacturing at Elementis, to get his views on the company's experiences, challenges and successes during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as their outlook for the market and business strategies moving forward.
Only continuous, focused R&D in the development of wetting and dispersing additives will ensure that the current and future needs of our customers can be met.
This additive maximizes the wetting and dispersion of pigments for various solventborne systems, provides good antisagging properties, eliminates settling and enhances stability.
Excellent pigment stabilization and universal compatibility in solventborne, solvent-free and waterborne systems can be obtained with a single additive.
Products in the Z-line of multifunctional additives are free of VOCs, HAPs and APE. New are Troysol™ Z370 and Z372 universal wetting, and mar and slip additives, and Troysol Z377 acrylic flow additive for solvent systems. E-mail clayg@troycorp.com.
