Specialty chemicals company LANXESS will participate in the 2023 China International Coatings Exhibition (CHINACOAT) in Shanghai from November 15th to 17th.
2023). During the period, LANXESS and its inorganic pigments (IPG), material protection products (MPP) and polyurethane systems (URE) business units demonstrated a series of efficient and sustainable products, technologies and solutions for the paint and coatings industry.
Inorganic pigments that meet the stringent requirements of the paint and coatings industry
The LANXESS Inorganic Pigments business unit offers customers a comprehensive product portfolio, including Bayferrox® red, yellow, black and brown iron oxides, as well as Colortherm® chromium oxide green products. Based on these colors, LANXESS can provide more than 100 different shades to meet various application fields such as building concrete, paints, coatings, and plastic coloring. Among them, the paint and coating industry has more stringent requirements for pigment quality and processing properties than other industries. LANXESS Bayferrox® has a good reputation in industry applications due to its unique product attributes.
Bayferrox® pigment grades are known for their high dispersing power and can be dispersed in applications quickly, easily and safely. Through micronization (a strong grinding process), the degree of pigment agglomeration can be significantly reduced. In addition, it is lightfast and weather-resistant, ensuring a high degree of consistency in the paint system.
LANXESS is also showcasing iron oxide pigments for special applications in the paint and coatings industry. Unlike general needle-shaped iron oxide yellow pigments, LANXESS “low drawing” pigments are almost always spherical in structure. Therefore, the direction of paint application has minimal influence and the paint system has a lower viscosity.
Transparent life cycle assessment
LANXESS recently became the first manufacturer of synthetic iron oxide pigments to provide comprehensive and verified information on the environmental performance of Bayferrox pigments based on the “cradle to factory” approach. “We expect the demand for detailed life cycle assessment data to grow exponentially throughout the supply chain. Our customers in the coatings industry are already developing concrete strategies to reduce emissions in their supply chains.” LANXESS Inorganic Pigments Business Unit Global Marketing Director Daniela
Schmitt said.
Therefore, the raw materials used by suppliers are receiving increasing attention. EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) provides buyers with a reliable basis for comparing products from different raw material suppliers. Here’s an example: In principle, all environmental impacts of a product must be based on an EPD (Environmental Product Declaration)
Conducting an overall assessment, especially with regard to the raw materials used, the current focus is mainly on the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF). The PCF value of Bayferrox pigments with EPD is approximately 1.5-2.2 kg CO2 equivalent/kg product, confirmed by independent auditors. This value can now be compared with other product values in order to make appropriate choices from a sustainability perspective.
Green and excellent paint protection solution
To protect materials from microbial attack and damage, LANXESS is presenting a portfolio of high-performance preservatives and biocides for the paint and coatings industry.
Among them, the Biox® series of antifungal agents are used as protective coatings to protect indoor walls and household wood, keeping the paint surface smooth and beautiful for a long time and avoiding mildew caused by moisture. Mildew removers are an essential core ingredient in most well-known wood protective coating formulations. Biox®M245 and M228 reach GB/T
1741 requirements, Biox® M848, which has superior mildew resistance, can also comply with Chinese green label regulations. In addition, Beidao Next fungicide can effectively resist various fungi and molds that damage the staining of indoor wooden furniture, and prevent economic and quality losses caused by biodegradation of wooden materials.
The most significant highlight of Preventol Next series products is its unique and innovative sustained-release technology, which helps to produce high-quality products that are efficient and environmentally friendly. PreventMultiNext’s active ingredients are embedded in a compound, allowing the active ingredients to be released slowly. As aqueous dispersions, this range offers higher leach stability, longer shelf life and lower application dosage (reduced risk of yellowing) compared to “conventional” dispersions.
In addition to its product range, LANXESS has extensive legal expertise, state-of-the-art microbiological, application and research laboratories to provide customers with tailor-made solutions.
The leader in customized polyurethane solutions
my country’s anthropogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions are close to 25 million tons per year. In view of this, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has released the “2020 Volatile Organic Compounds Control Plan”, hoping to improve the control of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) through tough actions. ) governance capabilities to achieve a significant reduction in emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
In order to help the paint and coating industry effectively control volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions, LANXESS’s Polyurethane Systems business unit displayed a variety of environmentally friendly special water-based polyurethane dispersions (PUD) and water-based blocked isocyanate curing agents. Among them, LANXESS Trixene water-based blocked isocyanate curing agent products are characterized by their low volatility.Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have attracted much attention. This type of product has good stability in normal temperature water-based systems. As a thermal deblocking cross-linking agent for water-based coatings, it greatly improves the resistance of the coating and is widely used in textiles. Coating, film coating, plastic coating, metal coating, etc.
In addition, the Polyurethane Systems Business Unit of LANXESS also displayed a special water-based polyurethane dispersion (PUD) product series, which has the characteristics of resistance to yellowing, solvent resistance, hydrolysis resistance, chemical resistance, etc., and is widely used in leather, textiles, plastics , woodworking, metal, fiber, stone, glass, automobile and other industries with functional coatings. LANXESS’s carefully designed polyurethane systems can withstand harsh environments and have excellent process performance, which is the basis for high-quality products.
