Dow offers Avanse ST-410 Binder
Dow Chemical Materials (DCM) has introduced Avanse ST-410 binder, a multi-functional acrylic binder that stabilizes the iron
oxide pigments necessary for long-term UV
resistance. The company has reported that
outdoor exposure testing conducted over a
three-year period demonstrates that semi-transparent deck stains may last longer than
the traditional one- or two-year industry
standard when formulated with Avanse ST-
410 binder. In addition to longevity, DCM
exposure testing demonstrated outstanding
erosion resistance, ultraviolet light (UV) protection and excellent long-term adhesion to
treated pine decking. Another differentiating
characteristic of Avanse ST-410 binder is adhesion to treated deck substrates, which results in fewer early failures on latewood
grains. Designed to meet stringent VOC and
environmental standards, semi-transparent
stains based on Avanse ST-410 technology
do not require coalescent or heavy metal driers. The combination of morphology and
particle stabilization maximizes the flow and
lapping characteristics during application,
while building early resistance properties
upon drying. As a result, semi-transparent
stains made with this binder are easy to
apply and enhance the appearance of new or
weathered wood with a long-lasting finish
said the company.
ols, elastomers and adhesives. As an easy-to-
use liquid with low volatility, it offers high
activity at low use-levels (less than 0.5 per-
cent). Such attributes make it ideal for use in
automotive, aviation and industrial applica-
tions specifically related to the use of flexible
polyurethane foams, hot melt adhesives and
high-performance gear oils. CW

Emerald Polymer Additives
expands antioxidant
technology
Emerald Polymer Additives, a division of
Emerald Performance Materials, introduced
Good-Rite 3131 to its portfolio of antioxidants for lubricants. The low-DPA-containing liquid antioxidant decreases
extractables and volatility, thereby improving the antioxidant efficiency, scorch and
long-term stability, and reducing discoloration in applications said the company.
Based on an octyl butylated diphenylamine
chemistry, Good-Rite3131 is formulated to
prevent discoloration and scorch by providing thermo-oxidative stabilization of poly-

Most efficient and aggressive blending/dispersing blade available. Provides proper combination of pumping action and shear/ dispersion essential for fast consistent results. Built in pumping action cuts processing time. Longer life due to heavier gauge construction. Less heat due to shorter required running time. Excellent for high or low speed and high or low viscosity. Supplied with hubs or mounting holes required to retrofit and upgrade present equipment. Pumping blades without teeth are available and are excellent for gentle blending and agitation.
