ABRAFATI PREVIEW 92 | PAINT&PINTURA | Outubro 2017 OSWALDO CRUZ QUÍMICA OswaldoCruzQuímica has developednewproducts following the trend towards environmentally friendly technologies, and the tech- nology employed has led to excellent low-VOC products, according to sales director Julio Fortunato. “Fortcryl 4600 is an acrylic resin particularlywell suited for formulating elastomeric coatings, as it provides outstanding elasticity and lowwater absorption, and, most importantly, they eliminate dust pick-up. Its filmcan be considered flexible and has goodweathering resistance. Fortcryl 6110 LO is an acrylicresinrecommendedforalldecorativepaintformulations,andbecauseitcontainsnano-particles,itimpartsexcellentperformance intermsofwashabilityandgloss.Whenusedintintingsystems,itensuresalowdecreaseinviscositywithhighpigmentconcentrations.” OXITENO Oxiteno,aproducerofsurfactants,seekingtomeetmarketrequirementsbyprovidingcustomerswithcompetitive,high-performance alternatives, has diversified its portfolio of additive technology platforms, building blocks, coalescing agents, emulsifiers and sol- vents, according toHugoGardelli, Paints &Coatings businessmanager. “This businessmodel favors our ability to anticipate trends for each of those platforms, and then further expand our product portfolio, solidifyingOxiteno’s position as a supplier of chemical solutions to the coatings industry.” GardellipointsoutthatinnovationandexpertisearethepillarssupportingOxiteno’sresearchanddevelopmentteam.“It’snoaccident that three of our researchers have been selected topresent their papers at the congress, which are titled ‘UsingHSPMethodology to Select Highly Efficient, APE-Free TiO2WettingAgents for Decorative Paints’, ‘New-GenerationOxygenated Solvents fromOxite- no’, and ‘New, Renewable, Low-Odor, VOC-Free Coalescing Agent for Decorative Paints With Excellent Dust Pick-Up Resistance’.

We are also demonstrating our quality control and color formulation and matching software,” says technical manager Syossabro Koyama. POLYSTELL At Abrafati 2017, Polystell is stressing its key ranges of process modifying additives, functio- nal modifying and surface additives, as well as specialty chemicals, according to its director André Rosa. “Polyumec 51.193 is a multi-purpose additive that enhances washability, while aiding dispersion and pH setting inwaterborne systems. Polyumec 51.016 is a crosslinker and multi-purpose additive often used as a thickener that improves both productivity, during production,andyields,duringapplication.Polyapp2848isavegetable-oil-baseddefoamerfor performancedecorativecoatings. Polyumec5200 isahyperdispersant andhigh-performance wetting agent for waterborne coatings. There’s also the Polysmell OFF SPA 71.192 alkalinizer, which aids pH setting and dispersion for great cost-benefit ratios in decorative coatings, and thePolyapp 21.123 highly efficient, low-VOC coalescing agent that significantly improves paint properties and ensures film integrity at lowapplication rates.” Thecompanyisalsoshowcasingsomeofitsdistributionproducts.“Theseincludeantioxidants and UV stabilizers from Rychyu, for protection from UV radiation and weathering, cellulose fiberfromJ.Rettenmaier,usedasamulti-purposeadditiveinpaints,spacklingpaste,textured coatingsandadhesives,wheretheyprovideanti-tackpropertiesandreducecracking,spattering and syneresis, nanotechnological additives based on silver (Ag), silicon (SiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO), which are used in waterborne paint and adhesive formulations, silanes that are used as adhesion promoters, crosslinkers, coupling agents, water-sequestering agents, and filler treatment additives, and fumed silica fromTokuyama, used as a rheology additive, thickener and flowagent in powder coatings,” André Rosa points out.
