New Exolit® solutions for fire protective water- and solvent-borne coatings
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.

Flame Retardants for Wood Coatings
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.
Waxes
Advanced Surface Solutions for Wood Coatings
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.
