Clariant, a sustainability-focused specialty chemical company, is bringing a range of innovative paint and coatings products to the American Coatings Show 2024, the leading North American coatings industry event.

Clariant’s technical experts will be presenting industry-leading solutions that minimize environmental footprints and maximize product performance, while meeting or surpassing the latest regulatory requirements.

“Clariant is delighted to share our high-performance, eco-friendly solutions with our customers in the paint and coatings industry,” commented Sebastian Prock, Head of Marketing & Application Development, Industrial Applications, Business Unit Care Chemicals.

“These include the ClariCoat digital platform and our portfolio of wetting and dispersing agents to help formulators find the perfect match for their specific requirements and to extend the open time of water-based acrylic and polyurethane paints.”

The ClariCoat digital platform has been designed to help customers find the best wetting and dispersing agents depending on their specific needs and preferences. These include performance criteria such as stability, workability, and sustainability and the recommendations are suitable for both low and high pigment-to-volume (PVC) lacquers.

Clariant representatives will also be presenting a portfolio of wetting and dispersing agents that allow coatings manufacturers to increase the open time (working time) of their acrylic and polyurethane lacquers.

“As part of Clariant’s commitment to sustainability, we have also developed polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-free and renewable-based solutions for the printing industry,” commented Ray Gonzales, Head of Marketing Coatings & Adhesives, Business Unit Adsorbents and Additives. “We see the future of printing inks as a blend of vibrancy and sustainability, where creative expression coexists with environmental responsibility.”
