High color strength and consistent batch quality with Hydrasperse(tm) EU colorants.
Chromaflo Technologies, one of the leading independent global suppliers of colorant systems, chemical and pigment dispersions, has introduced six new economical colorants for in-plant tinting systems. The new colorants consist of an additional yellow, orange, red, blue, violet and brown color and extend the established Hydrasperse™ EU range to 27 water-based colorants without VOC or a low VOC content of less than one gram per liter.
The Hydrasperse EU range is ideal for the requirements of the decorative interior and exterior paint industry. The colorants feature high color strength and consistent batch-to-batch quality, irrespective of production volume. They combine color range and accuracy of point-of-sale colorants with the cost effectiveness of industrial production. As a result, the Hydrasperse EU range line offers a good balance of price and performance while meeting the challenges of current and future market requirements.
For in-plant tinting, the Hydrasperse range is complemented by Solvasperse™ AK colorants. They were specifically developed for the tinting of various types of long- and medium-oil decorative alkyd paint, for both interior and exterior applications. The VOC content is 300 grams per liter. 15 different high-concentration colorants ensure a perfect color match without affecting the gloss or drying properties of the base paint.
In-plant tinting – a high-quality and cost-effective solution
In-plant tinting enables paint producers to react faster to market needs since orders can be delivered reliably within a very short time. There is no need to test batches or to clean vessels between orders. Operator time can thus be more effectively used to produce paint. Tinting also offers a larger color space with accurate and repeatable results for all colored paint that is made up: there is no waste product. For volumes of 500 liters and less, tinting is a considerably cheaper process than direct milling of dry pigment.
Chromaflo Technologies will present both Hydrasperse EU and Solvasperse AK colorant ranges at Eurocoat 2014 in Paris from 23-25 September 2014, booth D18.
