Revista Paint & Pintura - Edição 226

ABRAFATI PREVIEW 68 | PAINT&PINTURA | Outubro 2017 on several recent visits to customers across Latin America. “One example is AEPD VOX 1000, a neutralizing amine for paint producers that need to comply with EU directives on VOCs, which is also the best fit for low-odor paints. Other products on display include Zoldine MS-Plus, a moisture scavenger for polyurethane coatings which prevents downglossing and hazing, while eliminating bubbles an pinholes, Zoldine XL29SE, a crosslinker for waterborne formulations which imparts improved chemical strength, abrasion resistance, moisture scavenging and other properties, and Alkaterge T, a surface active agent that aids the dispersion of solvent-based pigments.” ANTON PAAR Anton Paar Brazil is introducing innovative solutions with patented technologies for various types of analyses, according to Tatiani Monteiro, of its marketing team. “We are highlighting the MCR series of rheometers, for quick and easy viscosity, thixotropy, and deformation and flowbehaviormeasurements, theRheolabQC rotational rheometer formeasurements from single-point checks over the curve flow to complex rheological investigations, the TAG 4 automatic tester that measures the flash point, DMA 500, a compact digital density meter for density, specific gravity and concentration measurements, and Litesizer 500, an instrument for characterizing nano- and microparticles that determines particle size, zeta potential, and molecular mass by measuring dynamic DLS, ELS, and SLS.” ARCHROMA For the 2017 edition of Abrafati, Archroma’s CAS (Coatings, Adhesives & Sealants) division is launching five products for the coatings and construction industries. “Mowilith SB 1000 is an innovative emulsion designed for formulating insulating coatings that provides high resistance to the migration of tannins or natural wood resins. Any wood objects pre-treated with those coatings can be finished with water- or solvent-based products. Mowilith LDM 6990, for its part, is an acrylic dispersion recommended for the formulation of high-gloss enamels and varnishes for substrates like wood, metal and ceramics. It’s the best alternative, both technically and economically, to the solvent-based alkyd system traditionally avai- lable on the market, as well as to pure acrylic resins. And last but not least, we have Mowilith LDM 6440, a flexible acrylic copolymer designed for formulating waterproofing liquid membranes and elastomeric coatings. The product provides sealing and protective properties, as well as a highly weathering-resistant finish,” Angelo de Andrade, global product steward and marketing manager for coatings and construction, points out. ARKEMA Arkema Coating Resins is launching emulsion technologies and products that improve the performance and application of coatings, fitting right in the theme for Abrafati 2017 —“Adding Value”. “Our highlights are Encor E800, a performance emulsion for outstanding cost-benefit ratios in paints and coatings, the Encor E860 additive for high-gloss protective co- atings on ceramic tiles, Encor E810, a premium emulsion for low odor and beauty in coatings, and the Celocor AF opaque polymer for low odor and high hiding power, among several other innovative products - including Encor 379G and Encor 161N,” says development and application manager André Oliveira. Arkema Coating Resins is also sharing the latest of its technological studies at the International Coatings Congress and in the Product Introduction Area. “We’re having conferences and technical posters. On October 3, at 10 am, in Auditorium 1, ‘Zero-VOC, Surfactant-Free Alkyd Emulsions: Breaking Limitations and Adding Performance and Sustainability in Synthetic Enamels’. On October 4, 1:45 pm, in Auditorium 1, ‘Structured Nano-Acrylic Polymers: Technology for Ultra-Low-VOC, Per- formance Acrylic Enamels’. From October 3 through 5, at the Poster Session, ‘Evolution in Hiding Power with Ammonia- -Free Opaque Acrylic Polymer: Adding Technology, Safety and Comfort to the Application of Coatings’. In the Product Introduction Area, on October 4, at 5 pm, ‘Adding Performance and Optimizing Cost With Encor E-800’, and on October 5, at 4:40 pm, ‘From Good Cost-Benefit Ratios to Premium Performance With Encor Acrylic Emulsions’,” Oliveira concludes. AROMAT As new additions to its product portfolio, Aromat is stressing its polyalcohol products: Neopentyl Glycol, Trimethylolpro- pane, and Pentaerythritol, from Swedish-based manufacturer Perstorp, according to technical manager Fernando Rosa. “These products are global benchmarks for quality, and are used in the best resins available on the paint and coatings
