CINCINNATI, OH (October 23, 2015) – Michelman, a global developer and manufacturer of water-based binders and surface additives, will be featuring a variety of innovative new solutions at the Western Coatings Symposium being held October 25-28, 2015 in Las Vegas. Exhibiting at Table #300, Michelman will showcase its capabilities and product development prowess with new water-based binder and surface modification additives that enhance the barrier and functional properties of metal and wood.
Metal coating formulators will be introduced to the exciting new families of ProHere™ water-based resinous binders that are suitable for a wide range of processing conditions and metallic substrates, and are used to enhance corrosion and chemical resistance, mechanical strength and adhesion. Michelman’s ProHere L-range water-based lubricants and surface modifiers improve lubricity, slip and torque/tension control, while adding anti-mar and anti-scratch properties. They can also be used to improve surface optics including matting and brilliance.
Wood coating formulators will find new Michem® brands of low and no-VOC additive and binder resin solutions that improve scratch and mar resistance, water resistance, anti-block properties and gloss. New binder resins will be featured that exhibit excellent aesthetic properties, strong mechanical properties and that show superb adhesion to most substrates.
In the graphic arts sector of the market, Michelman will be featuring Michem brand additives for inks and OPVs that give customers better slip control, rub and abrasion resistance, while producing high gloss results.
