Coatings, paints & inks

Suppliers to the coatings industry have a collective responsibility to develop sustainable solutions for future generations. As leading suppliers to this industry, Allnex and Clariant are working to support and accelerate the development of these changes. In this webinar, both companies will provide an overview of their sustainability programs and present the latest technical solutions for the Powder Coatings Industry.

Based on more than 40 years of experience in the manufacturing of ammonium polyphosphate and its application in various fields Clariant has developed two new halogen-free flame retardants for water- and solvent-borne coatings. Exolit® AP 435 lowers your formulation viscosity, supports easy and constant production and product quality and keeps your water-based formulations flowable, even at low temperatures. Exolit® AP 418 (TP) improves the fire protection performance by offering an earlier on-setting reaction in solvent-based formulations.

Micronized additives are widely used in the coatings industry for modification of surfaces. Mainly commercial available synthetic waxes play an important role for different kind of variations. Scratch resistance, reduction of slip properties, matting effects and much more are properties which can be influenced by the addition of these additives. Recently the industry is changing and is looking for more sustainable additives which can provide similar or even improved results. There are some micronized additives based on renewables which can even provide performance benefits compared to standard waxes.

Our current lifestyles generate excessive CO2 above the limits that our mother earth can withstand. Implementing a responsible materials program based on 100% bio-based ethoxylates can make an enormous impact on transforming that balance. Clariant is launching its VITA range of surfactants and EODs to offer solutions to set a path toward rebalancing the carbon cycle and addressing climate disruptions.

This webinar offers an introduction to silicate and organosilicate paints to examine and explore their benefits, including a snapshot of regional considerations of adopting this technology. We will also focus on the area of silicate paints inside the lab, where our discovery began. From here, we will dive into specifics and take a closer look at the design layout, testing methods and final results. We will conclude by opening the discussion for broader applications of this technology and its place towards a more sustainable future.

Wood cannot be used in public buildings without appropriate fire protection. In addition to fire protection the coatings also need to fulfill the desire of architects and building owners for the beautiful and natural appearance of wood. Clariant has developed Exolit® 855 to meet these twofold requirements: The fire retardant for transparent intumescent wood coatings is a completely transparent, virtually colorless solution offering excellent fire and scratch resistance for all types of wood.

Join the discussion surrounding Clariant’s latest developments towards PTFE alternatives and sustainable technologies with Senior Technical Business Manager, Tobias Niederleitner. Commercially available synthetic waxes play a crucial role for varying kinds of surface variations within inks and coatings, such as scratch resistance, modification of slip properties, matting effects and more. As we constantly assess and modify our wax portfolio to meet the changing needs of the market, Clariant has developed new wax technologies based on renewable and sustainable raw materials, with a continued focus on performance and cost optimization.​

Latest UV protection technology for paints and coatings

Clariant Additives is offering a free presentation on Clariant ́s range of “Light stabilizer solutions for waterborne wood coatings”. During this session, Jean-Yves Desrats, the Global Innovation Manager for Coatings will explain the benefits of our high-performing range of light stabilizers and how they can boost the performance of wood coatings with a focus on sustainability.

The starting point in developing a paint formulation that will appeal to dynamic consumer demands is critical for eventual commercial viability of new products. Join Clariant’s coating team of Matt Crotty and Marc Chan as they review step by step the pathways taken to recommend formulation guidelines in low and high PVC systems. Marc and Matt will showcase their commercial and technical perspectives in bringing innovation, performance, and sustainability to the market “Beyond Color”.

Safe, sustainable, and durable solutions for interior and exterior wood coatings. As a very versatile material, wood is used to build everything from apartment blocks to high-rises and public buildings like sports stadiums, but also floors, kitchens, and furniture. Our diverse range of additives for wood coatings extends from light stabilizers and flame retardants to waxes. We will present our additive solutions and products for wood coatings. Join our webinar!
