UTRECHT, The Netherlands,
April 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- Air Products' (NYSE: APD) Additives team will introduce its
new developments at the European Coatings Show (ECS) 2015 in
Nuremberg, Germany, from
April 21-23. Featured products
showcased at stand #4-339 will include the company's innovative
Dynol™ 960 and Dynol™ 980 superwetting surfactants, and
Airase® 4500 defoamer for indirect food contact
compliance.
Air Products' Dynol 960 and 980 surfactants have been
specifically designed to meet the growing need for high-performance
waterborne coatings, inks, and adhesives for low energy surfaces.
These new, low-foaming optimized siloxane superwetting surfactants
can provide premium equilibrium and dynamic surface tension
reduction as well as improved flow and levelling for difficult to
wet surfaces like wood, plastics, and dirty or nonferrous
metal.
Roger Reinartz, technical manager
Specialty Additives Europe at Air Products, will present a paper
that discusses the importance of wetting, flow, and levelling, and
focuses on the superior performance of superwetting surfactants
breaking the vicious circle. The paper will be presented from
10:00-10:30 a.m. on Monday, April 20, as part of the European
Coatings Congress.
Air Products also will highlight at ECS its Airase 4500 defoamer
for indirect food contact compliance. As a proprietary organic oil
defoamer, Airase 4500 defoamer does not contain added mineral oils,
hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), or alkyl phenol ethoxylates
(APEs), making it suitable for a broad range of applications and
useful for European food contact regulation compliance. In
addition, Airase 4500 defoamer is designed to eliminate foam,
pinholes, and entrapped air in water-based inks, adhesives, and
coatings, without generating surface defects.
ECS attendees are invited to stop by Air Products stand #4-339
in Hall 4 to learn how the company's experienced technical team can
identify valuable formulation development solutions to help them
optimise formulation performance, minimise reformulation time and
effort, keep formulation costs under control, and find products
less impactful to the environment.
Air Products' Additives range of solutions includes
multifunctional surfactants, defoamers, and pigment dispersing
additives for waterborne coatings, inks, adhesives, and
construction chemicals. For more information, visit our ECS15
