Highly compatible with additives, specialty hydrogenated styrenic block copolymers enable product and process optimization for adhesives, sealants, and coatings formulators.
Hydrogenated styrenic block copolymers (HSBCs) are suitable for elastomeric adhesive applications. They are used in hot-melt adhesives (HMAs) and solvent-based adhesives, as well as in plastics modification for consumer and industrial applications
Evonik recently announced that it has extended its distribution agreement with Brenntag for its Dynasylan® product line to 16 countries in Eastern Europe.
Naphthenic specialty oils provide benefits in terms of their suitability as a replacement for silicone fluids in formulations and their ability to reduce microbial growth in silicone sealant joints.
A recent study finds that naphthenic oils can offer a viable alternative to silicones in construction sealants. A newly developed range of specialty oils also provides formulators with the right balance between viscosity, color stability, and volatility.
BYK recently announced the availability of two new wetting and dispersing additives that reportedly provide maximum performance in terms of high-viscosity reduction with simultaneous Newtonian flow behavior, pigment stability, and optical properties.
Evonik's Coating Additives business line recently announced that it is working to improve the supply situation by increasing production capacity of its TEGO® Glide and TEGO Wet additive product lines.
Huntsman Corp. recently announced that its Performance Products division plans to further expand its manufacturing facility in Petfurdo, Hungary, to meet the growing demand for polyurethane catalysts and specialty amines.
According to Covestro, formulations with Bayhydur quix 306-70 dry as quickly as those with solvent-based crosslinkers, in contrast to coatings with low-VOC, water-based standard hardeners.
A study conducted by Covestro and coatings manufacturer Hesse GmbH & Co. KG focused on analyzing the life cycle assessment of different polyurethane wood coatings from raw material production to the applied coating in order to demonstrate the environmental impact of these systems and to reveal advantages and disadvantages for each technology.
From newly developed raw materials and chemicals to finished products and high-tech applications, the adhesive and sealant industry continues to focus on innovation.
