Clariant's industry know-how and broad portfolio of high-quality pigment preparations, engineered for the latest coatings technologies, are easy to use, cost efficient, and comply with current environmental standards.
Siltech's Silmer TMS products react on hard surfaces such as concrete, porcelain, countertops, or rubber; flexible surfaces such as fabric, paper or leather; and with polymers to form silicone modified films.
The new SPHERILEX® DP-0115 is a new matting agent from the Coating Additives business line of Evonik. This unique grade of precipitated silica obtains efficient, uniform, consistent, and predictable matting in powder coatings.
This innovative technology is designed to meet the delicate balance of the low-bake conditions for coating MDF. It is based on unconventional polyester-hybrid technology with a complete binder package approach that offers synergistic performance benefits of flow, smoothness, excellent chemical and stain resistance, adhesion on MDF and metal, ease of workability, and one-shot matte capabilities at low temperatures.
Anticorrosion coatings go beyond the standard topcoats seen on bridges, cars or heavy equipment exteriors. Rust-converting coatings can do much for surface prep, while removable coatings meet an important temporary protection need. Whatever the specific situation, it is good for manufacturers, maintenance crews and even construction workers to be aware of specialty coatings that can make their job easier.
Color formulation involves defining requirements and methods while also identifying variables within the environment or production process that could influence the color formulation results. In addition, color measurement instruments such as spectrophotometers and sophisticated color formulation software are essential for quantitative analysis to help achieve the right color with minimal time and waste.
The Supermill Plus offers the latest in horizontal disc mill technology. CMC's specially designed fluidizer discs agitate the beads inside the mill to make them flow in various directions.
Choosing the correct mixer for highway and road paint is critical to achieving the desired product consistency prior to application. Factors such as viscosity, solids content and mixing containers all play into the decision on which mixer is best suited for the task.
Coating processes on thermoplastics are multifaceted, and require precise engineering and quality controls. The effects of paint chemistry, plastic compatibility and surface quality are essential for product performance. Single-component lacquer, two-component thermosets and UV coating technologies are effective for painting and coating polypropylene substrates, and they are available in water-based chemistries.
