Sun Chemical Debuts Groundbreaking Advancement for Powder Coatings
Sun Chemical’s new Benda Lutz® COMPAL PC aluminum preparations for powder coatings will be on display at the booth. Developed for dry blending and bonding to deliver excellent appearance and performance, the groundbreaking technology’s pelletized form virtually eliminates dusting to minimize housekeeping, simplifies equipment clean-up and improves worker exposure. The pellet form is not classified for shipping and storage in the EU and is shipped in compact bag-in-box packaging that is eco-friendly and recyclable.
Sun Chemical Expands Production of Key High Performance Pigments
New advancements in high performance pigment chemistries and an expanded range of color options will be on display at Sun Chemical’s booth, including Palomar Blue 15 248-4848. This high strength phthalocyanine blue specifically developed for automotive OEM applications is designed to have a highly desirable green flop color in metallic coatings. It is non-flocculating, non-crystalizing and has excellent rheological and lightfastness characteristics. To meet the market demands for these phthalo blue pigments, Sun Chemical and DIC Corporation will expand production capacity at DIC Corporation’s Karawang, Indonesia plant.
Sun Chemical will highlight its range of Perrindo Maroon 179 pigments featuring the benchmark transparency that is vital to producing modern, high chromatic metallic red finishes and offering excellent light and weather fastness. Easy to disperse, Perrindo Maroon 179 pigments are compatible in water and solventborne systems. In response to the popularity of the color space, Sun Chemical will increase production of its perylene pigments at its Bushy Park plant in South Carolina.
Sun Chemical to Highlight Polymer Solutions
