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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
