INDUSTRY.01Paints & Inks -
"Paints," protect surfaces such as metal, concrete, wood, and film, giving them beauty and function, while "Inks," gives text, grain, and design.
These are created by mixing resins, which serve as the coating film, pigments which serve as subtle coloring , and additives,which fine-tune function, with water or solvents.
In addition to resin raw materials (including binders), various additives (e.g., defoaming agents, dispersing and wetting agents, and viscoelasticity regulators) are used during paint and ink production to improve production efficiency, workability, and coating film performance during coating film formation.
In this field, we offer "additives for waterborne coatings," "additives for non-aqueous coatings," and "resins for paints and inks," respectively.
Additives for aqueous coating
In the paint and ink field,foam is an important issue from the manufacturing stage to the coating stage.
In the pigment dispersing process and in the process of diluting pigment dispersion solution,if foaming is severe, the agitation speed must be reduced,which reduces productivity.
Additionally, as roller coating is the main method of application and rollers easily trap air due to their structure which causes bubbles, it is essential to have a powerful defoamer.
Along with defoamers, we offer a lineup of dispersants and wetting agents, which enhance the color toning properties of the paint and rheology modifier that attribute the appropriate viscosity for various kinds of coating methods.
Additives for non-aqueous coating
Non-aqueous paints are used in fields that require high gloss, durability, and both water resistance and salt resistance.
Similar to our aqueous types, we carry a variety of additives (defoamers, dispersants and wetting agents, etc.) that are used to enhance production efficiency, workability, and coating performance.
Resins for paints & inks
If the coating film is hard and has little flexibility (pliability), even the slightest impact will cause the coating film to crack or peel.
By adding flexibility to the coating film, the ability to follow the expansion, contraction, and bending of the coated object is increased, and coating film deterioration such as cracking, peeling, and swelling can be prevented.
We offer a variety of water-based and non-aqueous resins for paints and inks that form highly flexible (pliable) coating films.
