ABRAFATI PREVIEW 66 | PAINT&PINTURA | Outubro 2019 from the distributor Ferro, as well as the enhancement of the organic linewith newPidilite items. Finally, the new line of Producciones Químicas driers will also be presented, as well as Mamta Polycoats citric and adipic acid esters.” COLORNET Colornet will present a diversified line of pigments and additives. “We highlight Budenheim (Germany) non-halogenated additives in swelling paints for fire protection in metal, wood and even textile structures, and this will be one of the themes to be presented at the congress. We also have metallic pigments from Silberline, with high-gloss novelties for the automotive, industrial paints and printing inks sectors. We have South Korea’s CQV pearlescent pigments, with special emphasis on the Adamas line for alumina-based automotive and industrial paints,” points out Director Marcos Raicher. Other highlights of Colornet at the fair will be the organic pigments from world manufacturers Meghmani India and Lily; and Venator’s inorganic pigments (ultramarine blue and violet; titanate yellow; cobalt blue and green; high-temperature black; and clear iron oxides), Raicher announces. “In addition, we will bring Polygel Brunei’s adhesion-enhancing for printing inks and other organic titanates; and the holographic, thermochromic, photochromic, phosphorescent, invisible pigments, and many others.” COLORTRADE Colortrade will bring to Abrafati 2019 its main products, such as titanium dioxide, pearlescent pigments and additives. “Our highlights are titaniumdioxide - R-2219, recommended for solvent-based paint applications, but an excellent choice in the electrostatic powder paint market due to siloxane coating, improving blend synergy, bluish hue and high gloss due to the higher TiO2 content than the sulfate standards on the market. We also highlight the pearlescent pigments - synthetic mica, which is under audit to ISO 9001. One of the requirements of this new update is sustainability. Aiming to meet this requirement, Colortrade introduces its line of synthetic mica-based pearlescent pigments, focusing on the Xillamaya line aimed at the OEM market and which generates better synergy and homogenization due to its encapsulation in polymers. It’s an alternative to using natural mica,” informs Trade Manager Marcelo Lopes. Colortrade celebrates two years in the official distribution of Rianlon, one of the largest producers of anti-aging additives in the world, says Lopes. The Chinese producer is one of the eight largest paint producers in the world, with an emphasis on the UV absorber line. In this line it leads the global production, without forgetting, however, the antioxidants and HALS compatible with the major market grids, with wide performance in the most varied applications and segments.” COREMAL POCHTECA Coremal Pochteca in partnership with 3M brings to paint manufacturers the thin-walled hollow glass microspheres, known as 3M Glass Bubbles, composed of borosilicate glass, which give the product chemical stability and resistance to high temperatures and water, points out Paint Manager Luciana Pires de Almeida Menezes. “These extremely low density beads are used in the paint and coating industries to reduce weight, lower cost and meet certain properties of the end products. The high resistance to compression stand out amomg these properties, allowing the material to be processed under extreme conditions. Moreover, Glass Bubbles produce void spaces, which result in low thermal conductivity and dielectric constant to the product. The use of 3M glass microspheres in paints provides easy sanding and surface shaping. It’s worthwhile pointing out that that 3M Scotchilite Glass Bubbles are available in a variety of sizes and types to assist the formulator in meeting product specifications and process requirements.” COVESTRO Covestro brings to Abrafati 2019 its concept of “Sustainnovation” (blending between sustainability and innovation), inviting visitors to its booth to learn about recent developments with coatings and adhesives to rawmaterials for different industries, called districts. “The propo- sal is to promote innovations for sustainable developments that can push boundaries in all the industries we serve,” explains Silvio Torres, Head of Coatings, Adhesives and Specialties Business Unit for the Latin America. “Covestro’s booth will be divided into four districts where we will present solution proposals for the mobility, infrastructure, living, and sports & leisure segments.” CRODA Crodawill present awhole newworld at Abrafati 2019 - Smartability, says Lygia Bruni, Latin AmericaMarketing Coordinator. “The Smartability Concept combines strategic pillars such as Smart Science and Sustainability. Industry, people and public agencies are aware that the future
