component epoxy systems”.
AkzoNobel
Iguato and AkzoNobel Resinas will
be together at Abrafati exhibiting
their products and demonstrating
how they are present in all im-
provements in commercial paints.
“We invite all our customers to
meet resins with a sustainability
appeal from Iguatu, which release
much less solvent into the atmos-
phere, while imparting flexibility
to their paint formulations. We’ll
be showing high-solids phenolic,
medium- and long-oil alkyd re-
sins, polyester resins for industrial
and automotive coatings, and
our full range of resins for special
formulations, such as heat-resis-
tant coatings and thermoplastic
finishes, and an exclusive line of
hydroxylated acrylic resins,” says
Elaine Guedes, Business Manager
at Iguatu.
AkzoNobel Resinas will introdu-
ce the new SB 8758 vinyl acrylic
copolymer, which brings into the
decorative paint market a new
concept of aqueous dispersion
for the various types of formula-
tions that are currently based on
styrene acrylic copolymers. “While
designed to provide the same rhe-
ology and reactivity properties as
the acrylic thickeners that are for-
mulated with those standard co-
polymers, this products adds great
versatility, excellent yield and le-
veling, and is also well-suited for
general applications, particularly
in economy and standard paints,
mortars and complements,” Elaine
points out.
Aldoro
Aldoro is coming for Abrafa-
ti 2011 with its Stanlux line of
metallic pigments, consisting

num pastes for use in automo-
tive coatings to provide metallic
effect, the highlights of which
being Silver Dollar SD 7xxx, for
R 4xxx-series bright aluminum
and 3xxx-series economy grades;
Stanlux Paste, a comprehensive
family of leafing aluminum pastes
with differentiated gloss and
non-leafing aluminum pigments
for general use; Stanlux Hydro
aluminum pastes, compatible
with waterborne systems; Stanlux
Pell aluminum pellets specifically
designed for use in masterbatches;
Stanlux Flake lamellar aluminum
powders; Stanlux Gold bronze po-
wders, available in a wide variety

efficient solutions. “Investments
are constant at Aldoro, and our
latest investment has materialized
into a new aluminum paste plant
with state-of-the-art production
resources and started up in July
2011. As a result, new additions
to the Stanlux Silver line will be
introduced to the market shortly,”
says Aldoro’s sales manager Anto-
nio Labecca Filho.
Altmann
During Abrafati 2011, Altmann
will be demonstrating its newly
launched Mastersizer 3000 laser
particle size analyzer, from its
represented company Malvern.
“Easily configured to meet indi-
vidual application requirements,
it generates robust, reproduci-
ble particle sizing data with the
minimum of fuss. A new optical
core concentrates the best ever
Mastersizer performance into
minimum bench space and brings
precise resolution across a very
wide size range, for wet and dry
samples. Novel dispersion acces-
sories ensure optimal sample pre-
paration, for every material type.
Also to be on display at our booth
is X-Rite’s MA98 multi-angle mea-
surement tool is designed for con-
sistent, precise color measurement
of metallic, pearlescent, and other
complex special effect finishes.
The unit provides 10 measurement
angles and 2 illumination angles
to create a unique master profile
of each color that serves as a ben-
chmark for optimizing color com-
munication from initial design,
through formulation, processing,
and quality assurance. The device
is xDNA™ driven, which means it
is bundled with X-Rite’s exclusi-
ve X-Color QC measurement and
analysis software,” says Juliana
Franciscon, marketing and sales
assistant at Altmann.
The company is also going to
showcase the QUV accelerated
weathering tester, from Q-Lab,
which can reproduce in only a few
days or weeks damage that may
occur over months or even years
outdoors. “It can simulate the
effects of sunlight with ultravio-
let fluorescent lamps, as well as
dew and rain using condensation
and/or water spray. We are also
going to exhibit our zeta potential
analyzer, light booths, laboratory
