Baston
Baston is an all-Brazilian company
specializing in the development of
products for the aerosol market.
Baston is launching two new addi-
tions to its product portfolio: the
Utility polyurethane foam, available
in three versions designed to impro-
ve, streamline and optimize applica-
tions, 300 ml/190 g Pu 5/2 (5 liters,
fixation of 2 doors), 500 ml/340 g Pu
11/5 (11 liters, fixation of 5 doors),
and 524 ml/493 g Pu 19/11 (19
liters, fixation of 11 doors). They are
also use for thermal and acous-
tic insulation, sealing, preventing
infiltrations and leaks, among other
applications.
Another launch is a paint remo-
ver formulated with high quality
materials. It is recommended and
approved for removing acrylic var-
nishes and paints. It is so effective
that it softens and causes the old
paint film to corrugate in just a few
minutes, enabling removal with a
spatula or steel-wool both safely
and easily.

and emulsions.
Emerald Foam Control will show-
case its range of organosilicone,
silicone and synthetic defoamers,
which provide good leveling, antis-
tatic and lubricity properties. From

rization. These products find their
applications in a number of areas,
particularly textiles, paper, adhesi-
ves, water treatment and cosmetics.
On the surface additives front, Bras-
chemical will exhibit its Liquimatt
waxes, which provide matting and
