Coatings, Inks & Resins
One can not think of a more natural chemistry than the relation between coatings or inks and vegetable oils. Oleochemistry creates an innovative approach to meet new environmental and legal challenges.
Oleon has a unique portfolio to support the coating and ink industry. Solutions can be offered from resin production to final ink or paint formulation.
Our specialty fatty acids offer to the resin producers many technological advantages. Our fatty acids find their application in many different types of resin where they will give different performances like boosting the drying performance of alkyd resins while reducing yellowing or increasing the hydrofobicity of acrylate resins
Dimer fatty acids are excellent building blocks for resins with an increased hydrofobicity, electrical resistance, flexibility or high adhesion. Polyamide, polyester or alkyd resins can all benefit from these properties
Paint and ink formulators will be served with a vast range of solvents and functional additives. Fatty acid esters may act as solvency booster thanks to their high solvency power, reactive diluents, plasticizers or dispersing agent for pigments. All of our functional additives meet the most stringent EU regulation of volatile organic compounds and product labeling.
