suited for water-based decorative paints, according to
Silmar Barrios, R&D coordinator, Paints and Coatings.
“Ultrafilm 260 LV is here to complementOxiteno’s ran-
ge of coalescing agents, which includes Ultrafilm 1000
and3000ECO, sustainable coalescingagents using raw
materials from renewable sources that enable custo-
mers toproduce low-odorand low-toxicitycoatingsand
adhesives,while featuringhighwet abrasion resistance
and the ability to reduce the minimum film-formation
temperature (MFFT)of various typesof latex.”
Oxitenohas also consolidated itself as a supplier to the
paint and coatings industry, providing emulsion poly-
merization surfactants, monomers, polyols, additives
andoxygenated solvents. “TheOximulsion lineof APE-
-free surfactants for emulsion polymerization allows
formulators to control particle size, minimize clotting
and produce lattices with high electrosteric stability
and coatingswithoutstandingwet abrasion resistance
(highwashability).TheUltratintTM30alkoxylatedpolyol
can be used in resin and paint formulations, imparting
flexibility, chemical strength andhigh solids to the end
product. The oxygenated solvents from the Ultrasolve
line,fortheirpart,ensurehighperformance inproduction
activities,” saysproductmanager FabianaMarra.
PLENICOR
Plenicor is introducing its newX-Riteportable spherical
geometryspectrophotometers lineD/8modelsCi52,Ci62,
Ci64,Ci4200benchtopmodel,Ci7600,Ci7800,multi-angle
X-Rite 9X series spectrophotometers. “All the releases
have state-of-the-artoptical andelectronic systemsand
areveryrobust, fastandaccurate.Wewillalso introduce
theX-Ritesoftwareforqualitycontrol,colorformulation
andcolorcorrection,andtheX-RiteSpectralightQC light
booth, aswell as Pantone andMunsell products,” says
technicalmanager SyossabroKoyama.
Thehighlight isthe introductionofthenewX-RiteCi7600
and Ci7800 benchtop spectrophotometers. “These
devices are the most accurate and reliable spectro-
photometers currently available on themarket. Ideally
suited for thepaint and coatings, plastic, textile, paper
andautomotive industries, theycanadapt toanysupply
chain involving colors, including those supported by
tools from other suppliers. Themain features of these
spectrophotometers are: versatility (an integrated camera
captures images of every measurement, while integrated
sensorscapture the temperatureandhumidityat the timeof
measurement);automatedconfiguration(suppliedwitheasy-
-to-useX-Ritesoftware toensureconsistentmeasurements);
flexibility inmeasurements (they can be configuredwith up
to fivemeasuring apertures and up to three automatedUV
filters),”Koyama remarks.
POLYSTELL
Polystell brings toAbrafati 2014newdevelopments from its
rangeof solution additives. “Our highlights are: Polytio 2 S -
specialty nano-encapsulated pigment for decorative paints
(waterborne),whichpartially replaces titaniumdioxidebyup
to 30 percent; Polyumec 51.016 (crosslinker/multi-functional
additive) - chemical thickener for decorative paints (water-
borne); Polysmell AOD 7742 -multi-functional pHneutralizer
/ odor-reducing agent for decorative paints (waterborne);
Polyadit 41120 - polymeric dispersant for decorative paints
(waterborne)hyperdispersant /wettingagent;Polyapp21123
- performancecoalescingagent fordecorativepaints (water-
borne),” says salesdirectorAndréRosa.
