United States. Clariant announced that during the American Coatings Show (April 10-12 in Indianapolis) it will launch new sustainable additives to support new challenges, product claims and growing demand in North America for more sustainable coating solutions.
Its regional presentation of advanced surface solutions, flame retardants and performance additives expands the current possibilities for coating manufacturers to sustainably improve the safety, protective life and aesthetic performance of water-based coatings and solvents and respond to growing environmental demands and lifestyle trends, mobility and urbanization.
ACS 2018's featured products for wood, automotive and architectural applications address key challenges facing coating manufacturers, such as the reduction of volatile organic compounds and halogen content, formulation efficiency and flexibility, and renewable ingredients.
One of the featured products is the new high-performance light stabilizer suitable for all types of transparent and pigmented coatings of high durability and numerous applications, including transparent layers for cars, plastic coatings, coil coatings and high-end wood coatings. Hostavin TB-03 is a synergistic combination of a high-performance UV absorber and an impeded amine light stabilizer (HALS), which is characterized by its wide compatibility in solvent-based and water-based coatings.
