Formulations are sometimes adjusted by fine tuning various additives, including antioxidants and light stabilizers, which provide different thermal and light stabilization properties. It is very important to find the best combination of additives to achieve the necessary performance, especially if the final substrate or area to be powder coated requires specific durability or heat resistance.
These high-performance, water-miscible anti-oxidants and light stabilizers offer high durability, low VOC generation, environmentally sound formulations, and easy dosing and handling.
Emerald Polymer Additives, a division of Emerald Performance Materials, announced that two of its antioxidants, GOOD-RITE® 3128 and GOOD-RITE® 3131, have received the NSF HX-1 listing, which allows for their use as ingredients in lubricants with incidental food contact.
Emerald has focused on developing new technology for the coatings industry to meet the need for more environmentally friendly and high-performance materials.
