Cytec launches Resydrol AY 6705 resin
Cytec Industries, Inc. has introduced
Resydrol AY 6705, a waterborne acrylic
modified alkyd resin with 44 percent solid
content that was designed to extend durability with its penetration for timber substrates. It is ideal for feeding and
protecting exterior wood stains and timber decking. Its quick drying time and
affinity for timber with varying degrees of
tannin content promotes fast and easy recoating. The company said this hybrid
system captures the sought after properties of both alkyds and acrylics, allowing
customers to enjoy the best of both
worlds. Its durability is further strengthened by its improved UV resistance. Cytec
also said this low VOC resin doesn’t peel
or flake for easy repair and refurbishment.
Croda introduces toughening
agent for epoxy coatings
Croda Coatings and Polymers has introduced B-Tough C2, an epoxy functional
toughening agent for epoxy coatings for
use in marine and protective heavy-duty
coating applications such as flooring,
cargo holds and storage tanks. Croda’s
novel technology offers the solution to
the challenge for epoxy formulators to
combine flexibility and hardness without
impacting other required properties B-Touch C2 offers excellent impact resistance also at lower temperatures;
improved flexibility while maintaining
hardness; low viscosity – making it easy
to handle and non-migratory due to
epoxy functionality.
Cornelius offers Rheolate 299
polyether PUR thickener
Cornelius offers Rheolate 299, a highly efficient and strongly shearing thinning associative thickener. It is a polyether
polyurethane thickener for aqueous industrial and decorative, pigmented and
clear coating systems. Rheolate 299 is a
highly efficient, 25% active, polyether
polyurethane associative viscosity builder
for the low- to mid-shear rate range. It
provides strongly shear-thinning flow behavior, which makes it ideal for spray applications including, sprayed latex
emulsions, dispersions, water reducible
clear-coats and high gloss pigmented systems. Rheolate 299 is a pourable liquid
and can be incorporated at any point in
the formulation of most systems. Liquid
associative thickeners are usually post-added for convenience. Rheolate 299 efficiently provides strongly shear thinning
flow behavior to both pigmented and
clear waterborne coating systems. This results in excellent application properties,
sag resistance and storage stability, according to the company.
Elementis offers Nuosperse
9850 polymeric dispersing
agent
Elementis Specialties has introduced NUOSPERSE 9850 for the Americas solventborne industrial coatings markets.
Nuosperse 9850 is a polymeric dispersing
agent with superior pigment wetting resulting in increased color strength and excellent compatibility in various industrial
coating systems, according to the company. This innovative new polymeric dispersing agent is highly effective for carbon
black and other organic pigments. It is
recommended for use in a wide range of
high-performance, solventborne coatings
and is an effective dispersant for both
paints and colorants.
Capelle launches Lysopac Red
2230C & Lysopac Red 7730C
pigments
Cappelle Pigments NV has launched two
new products in its high performance pigments range. Both of the products have a
top class performance and meet the requirements of the current highest market
demands. Lysopac Red 2230C C.I. Pigment Red 122 is a clean shade magenta
of Quinacridone chemistry with good
light and weatherfastness properties. The
pigment can be combined with opaque
grade pigments (orange and red) to produce solid shades. It can also be combined
with effect pigments to produce metal effect shades. Lysopac Red 7730C C.I. Pigment Red 177 is a transparent blue shade
red pigment of Anthraquinone chemistry
with good light and weatherfastness. The
pigment can be combined with opaque
grade pigments (orange and red) to produce solid shades. It can also be combined
with effect pigments to produce metal effect shades.
Application areas for both pigments
are solvent- and water-based industrial
paints, OEM and car refinish, powder
coatings and decorative paints.
Pflaumer unveils amine-
functional resins for
polyaspartic polyurea coatings
Pflaumer Brothers has launched two
amine-functional resins for polyurea
polyaspartic coatings used on concrete,
metal, wood and other substrates. The
two polyaspartic amines, Teraspartic 277
and Teraspartic 292, can be used individually or in combination with each other,
or together with other amine functional
resins or hydroxy-functional acrylic resins
to achieve special performance attributes.
The company said that Teraspartic 277
and Teraspartic 292 are stearically hindered aliphatic amines that react with
polyisocyanates to form high-gloss,
weather-resistant coatings with good film
build and rapid cure rates. Polyaspartic
coatings are used in high-performance applications requiring fast cure, low VOC
and low odor. These coatings exhibit a
combination of flexibility and impact resistance, ideal for use on concrete floors.
They can be formulated with no VOCs,
no odor and with a tack-free time of as little as 45 minutes.
Polyaspartic coatings dry efficiently at
room temperature, a distinct advantage for
the applicator. In addition, the applicator
can apply polyaspartic coatings as thick
films in one coat rather than two or more,
