DSM OFFERS A POLYESTER
FOR HYBRID POWDER COATINGS
DSM Powder Coating Resins has
expanded its portfolio of polyester resins
for epoxy-free coatings with a new resin
in its Uralac Veranda polyester resins
range. Uralac Veranda is based on a
patented technology and it meets a pressing demand for epoxy-free alternatives to
hybrid powder coatings. The new Uralac
Veranda P 542 features excellent flow in
highly filled coatings and improved processing properties. The product, furthermore, is HAA curable and designed for
coating systems that can replace epoxy
hybrid systems with an equal or better
performing system. Uralac Veranda products provide excellent chemical and
staining resistance, good boiling water
resistance, as well as improved outdoor
durability with reduced yellowing.
PERSTORP OFFERS VOXTAR
Perstorp has launched Voxtar, a renew-
able pentaerythritol platform, which can
reduce the carbon footprint by 63% com-
pared to fossil-based Penta and Di-
Penta, according to the company. Voxtar
products maximize value by helping for-
mulators and producers capitalize on
the growing demand for renewable
alternatives. It enhances performance
and minimizes environmental impact in
a wide range of end products including
high performance alkyd paints and coat-
ings, synthetic lubricants, cosmetic
emollients, adhesives and printing inks.
By combining the renewability of Voxtar
with the latest waterborne technology,
high-solid alkyd paints and alkyd emul-
sion paints secure superior environmen-
tal performance with up to a 40% reduc-
tion in carbon footprint compared to tra-
ditional petroleum-based latex paints.
SONGWON LAUNCHES RANGE
OF UV ADDITIVES FOR PLASTICS
Songwon, an additives supplier to the
polymer industry, has developed a new
range of UV additive solutions.
Songlight 2790 GR and Songlight 2930
GR are 100% UV active systems consisting of synergistic blends of several additives. The innovative new combinations
deliver superior UV protection of plastics compared to standard UV formulations, according to the company. The
additives are particularly suitable for
thick plastic sections where surface and
color protection are key to the customer’s end use applications under
severe UV irradiation.
LUBRIZOL INTRODUCES PERMAX 805
VINYLIDENE CHLORIDE EMULSION
The Lubrizol Corp. has introduced
Permax 805 vinylidene chloride emul-
sion, an APE-fee, low VOC, small particle
size vinylidene chloride acrylate copoly-
mer emulsion that exhibits extremely
low moisture vapor permeability and
excellent oxygen barrier properties,
according to the firm. Permax 805 emul-
sion is recommended for a variety of coat-
ings in OEM and industrial metal appli-
cations, such as maintenance primers,
underhood and underbody coatings, rust
converting products and barrier coatings.
Recommended at a film thickness of 3-4
mils dry, coatings based on this emulsion
provide both superior corrosion and
humidity resistance, as well as adhering
well to a variety of metal substrates,
according to the company.
NEW HIGH PERFORMANCE MULTIPURPOSE ADDITIVES FROM TEGO
Evonik Tego Chemie GmbH now offers
Tego Rad 2010 and 2011 multipurpose
additives. Radiation-curable and cost
efficient, these new high performance
multipurpose additives can be used in
formulating radiation-curing coatings
and printing inks. The 5 - 6 acrylate
groups/molecule render Tego Rad 2010
and 2011 easily cross-linkable thus significantly reducing migration tendency
compared to that of non-cross-linkable
products, according to the firm. In rad-ical-curing formulations, these 100%
active matter products improve properties such as substrate wetting and flow.
The products are highly compatible
and enable release and slip characteristics to be adjusted as required, without stabilizing foam.
HAMAMATSU INTRODUCES
NEW LIGHT SOURCE FOR UV CURING
Hamamatsu’s new Lightningcure LC-L3
series is a UV light source for fast UV
curing of UV adhesives, UV/radcure coatings, and UV inks. This light source features 9 long-lasting light emitting diodes
(LED) that generate stable, high-intensi-ty UV light to ensure rapid curing with
minimal thermal effects. Depending on
the model, the LC-L3 emits UV light at
365 nm with 250 m W/cm2 intensity or at
385 nm with 325 mW/cm2 intensity.
Special features of the LC-L3 include
individually programmable LEDs. On/off
switching and light level adjustments
can be controlled on each LED, allowing
the creation of tailored profiles for added
flexibility. For more flexibility, multiple
LC-L3 units can be combined to irradiate
large areas or a linear area. CW
