Increase durability of industrial coatings
From shipping containers to trains, cranes and steel bridges, industrial coatings serve a dual purpose: protecting and enhancing surfaces across diverse industrial applications.
These coatings are essential protective barriers against multiple threats, such as corrosion and heat, safeguarding industrial assets and structures even in the most demanding environments.
As the industry transitions from solvent to water-based formulations, formulators face increasing complexity. Clariant addresses this challenge with a portfolio of additives that simplifies the development of high-performance water-based coatings, suitable for applications ranging from containers to transportation and construction equipment.
Our dispersing agents are designed to ensure a good corrosion resistance while lowering viscosity in water-based industrial coatings. Comprehensive testing in standard formulations demonstrates their effectiveness, with comparative performance data against market benchmarks across three typical water-based industrial coating systems.
