A nuevos retos, aditivos innovadores

Synopsis

New challenges need innovative additives

Sustainability, regulation, type of application, manufacturing process, functionality, etc. …. are just a few examples of the challenges that paint formulators face today. Innovation is the DNA of BYK additives, they bring unique characteristics to coatings and solutions to current industry trends. The presentation will address the indispensable role that BYK additives play in overcoming increasingly difficult challenges by describing different current formulations. Sustainability will be discussed, as well as additives based on biomaterials and how some additives help to comply with the most stringent regulations. Multilayer systems, low bake, modular manufacturing are just some of the examples of how additives help to save energy in paint manufacturing. On the other hand, application systems such as airmix, overspray-free, high speed can coatings lines need innovative additives to achieve a good appearance and excellent paint properties. Finally, the peculiarities of high solids and 100% systems and how to achieve robust formulations with BYK additives will be recalled.
