Sun Chemical’s Performance Pigments and Advanced Materials divisions will launch an array of new pigments and resin technologies during ABRAFATI 2017.
Some of the newest solutions on display at Sun Chemical’s booth include a solvent-free hotmelt adhesive resin, an acrylic polyol for air dry melamine technology that offers the same key curing benefits of a stoving system, pigments that expand the color gamut and meet environmental regulations, and other novel technologies that add luxury to automotive interior plastic parts and anti-corrosion properties.
“ABRAFATI is a significant event for Sun Chemical and we hope to demonstrate how our full range of tailor made resins and pigments can help customers and prospective customers achieve excellent results with any coatings application,” said Michael T. Venturini, marketing director, Coatings, Sun Chemical.
Resin technology from DIC will be delivered and showcased by Sun Chemical Advanced Materials during the show including the newest addition to the FINEPLUS product range, FINEPLUS HM, a solvent-free 2K reactive hotmelt adhesive designed to adhere to laminate furniture, metal, plastics, textiles and glass that replaces solvent-based hotmelt adhesive chemistries.
Also launching at the show is BURNOCK AC 2530 DIC polyol resin for air dry curing systems/chemistries. The new acrylic polyol for air dry melamine technology brings the same performance properties desired from a stoving system to an air dry system. There are no baking ovens required and no pot-life limitations with the BURNOCK AC 2530 polyol while providing the same durability as heat-cured systems.
Three new pigments will be on display at Sun Chemical’s booth, including Sunbrite Yellow 74, a VOC-free Azo yellow pigment developed specifically for architectural decorative coatings producers and the needs of machine colorants. Easier to disperse than previous grades, Sunbrite Yellow 74 delivers 15% to 20% more tint strength than comparable products and meets the most stringent environmental regulations in Europe.
Sun Chemical’s yellow shade Perrindo Maroon 179 features the benchmark transparency that is vital to producing modern, high chromatic metallic red finishes. One of the most yellow pigment red 179 shades on the market, Perrindo Maroon 179 offers excellent light and weather fastness, rigorous process and quality control, and compatibility in water and solventborne systems.
Suitable for water and solventborne systems, Quindo®= Magenta 202 enables styling for highly transparent and chromatic effect shades and has excellent durability and fastness properties for automotive and high-performance coatings.
Visitors will be introduced to the new WATERSOL AC-7505 resin, which provides a metallic finish on automotive interior plastic without a clearcoat. The 2K chemistry offers the chemical resistance needed in a single layer system, reducing complication in coating application and at the same time passing the industry’s most demanding sunscreen tests.
Combining WATERSOL AC-7505 with Sun Chemical’s Benda-Lutz SPLENDAL vacuum metalized flake pigments can produce luxurious finishes for inlays, bezels, handles, trim and other automotive interior plastic parts.
Sun Chemical’s Benda-Lutz COMPAL WS, a range of highly concentrated, VOC-free aluminum preparations for inks and coatings will be on display. Designed for long term gassing stability in aqueous environments, COMPAL WS can be used in both water- or solvent-based systems, providing maximum formulation flexibility.
With difunctional, trifunctional and tetrafunctional varieties, EPICLON epoxy resins impart high-performance composites with excellent heat and water resistance, toughness and excellent adhesion. DIC’s EPICLON epoxy resins are ideal for major applications in the aerospace, automotive, electronics, tooling and adhesives industries.
When mixed with waterborne epoxy resins, zinc flake pigments can often provide superior corrosion protection. Sun Chemical’s Benda-Lutz ZINC provides the cathodic protection of zinc in a platelet form allowing for coatings with thinner film thicknesses and reduced settling.
