MIDLAND In this edition of the fair, the news at Midland is with the newpartnerships: ACR, AS Resinas and Evonik, with the introduction of newproduct lines for the coatings segment, says Commercial and Development Manager Rosana Herminio. “ACR has hardeners for epoxy systems with special products for high thickness. In its turn, AS Resinas offers pitch resins, and derivatives for the paint and adhesive market. Ruetgers and Daedal have modifiers for epoxy systems and acrylic/polyester resins. And lastly, 3M supplies ceramic microspheres.” MINÉRIOS OURO BRANCO Minérios Ouro Branco will present its traditional line of special micronized mineral additives such as agalmatolite, barite, calcium carbonate, kaolin, dolomite, mica, quartz etc. “We also have excellent performance talc with extenders, products that improve weathering resistance. It is worth noting that our 51-year-old company will be represented by its commercial technical department, offering all the support needed to choose the best performing mineral in the face of customer needs,” says Trading Director José Carlos Bartholi. MIRACEMA-NUODEX Miracema-Nuodex celebrates its 65th birthday this year and will be at Abrafati 2019 reliving this trajectory along with its business partners, who are part of this story of dedication, overcoming and achievements, exalts Antonio Carlos Coral, Supply Manager. “The traditional and well-known products of the market will be presented, as well as new releases will be announced, highlighting the Liofoam 159, high perfor- mance, biodegradable, sustainable, and high concentration antifoamer, whose cost-benefit and logistics are among its major strengths.” The company also highlights Liocide 197-B and Coryna AF 1015 products. “They are high performance biocides with different characteristics when compared to the usual products on the market. And Liocoat 949, an alkalinizer agent that not only fulfills its main function but also gives the paint other benefits that will be emphasized during the event. The technical structure of application and technical assistance will also be part of the scope considered for Abrafati 2019, highlighting the lab’s applications that provide pre and post sale technical support, as well as analysis performed in these laboratories and customized technical assistance to meet customer needs,” points out Coral. NETZSCH Netzsch will be exhibiting an important launch at Abrafati 2019. “The new Discus Intensive ball mill is a real innovation in which it is possible to improve product quality or increase the productivity of existing processes. We developed a new agitator project with a separation system. The system is very flexible for producing pigment dispersions, coatings, agrochemicals and other applications. Thanks to the new and unique ICC Intensive Classifying Cartridge system, the rotor for the separation of grinding balls from the suspension, a separation between camera volume and grinding volume is no longer required. Additionally, the geometry of the grinding discs and separator bushings have been mo- dified, leading to optimization of the acceleration and movement of the grinding balls, resulting in a significant increase in the energy input and a narrowing in the mill residence distribution,” says CEO Giuliano Albiero. In addition, the machine may optionally be equipped with the Netzsch Ceram C internal liner, informs Albiero. “Significant improvement in the production rate can be achieved due to increased cooling ability, with simultaneous reduction of the machine’s downtime as a result of the extreme hardness and abrasion resistance of this material.” OLIN Olin, a global manufacturer of epoxy resins, will be present in Abrafati 2019, where it will showcase its multi-application water-based epoxy solutions for the Brazilian industry, for construction in particular, says Gustavo Gândara, EpoxyMarketingManager for Latin America. “Wewill also present our environment-friendly epoxy solutions to the growing demand for Do-It-Yourself (DIY) applications. During the event, Olin’s team will exhibit and welcome visitors and customers, as well as provide technical and commercial support for its wide range of products.”
