Colour, variety and forwardthinking
// / / Inspiredideas and progressive technologiesabound at the ECS 2013.Thedullweatherwasperhaps a strokeofluckfor the ECS. The colour in the hallscontrasted so stronglywith the greyskiesoutsidethatitwas a stillstrongerinducementtoremainindoors and enjoy the enormousvarietyofexhibits. The trend towardsdifferentiation and individualisation can beseenboth in the exhibits and the stands. Colour and appearance are a big differentiator and a veryimportantsellingargument. “Withnewtechnologies, you can developnewcolourproposals,” said Michael Bauer, Head of Marketing and Communications at Schlenk. “We produce effectpigmentsbased on aluminium and copper.

Energy-savingresinforcar-refinish and high-end 2K markets
// / / DSM CoatingResinsdeveloped a so-called “Energy Save” concepttoincreasereactivityfor 2-component car-refinishclearcoats. Normally the reactivityisincreasedbyadding more catalystto the 2-component system. Thishasmanydisadvantages, suchasshorterpot life, adhesion and appearancefailures. The “Energy Save” conceptdeveloped a resinfor 2-component car-refinishtopcoatswithoutthesedisadvantages. Thisresiniscalled "Hybrane® CY-245 E-75" and ispartlybased on DSM-patentedtechnology. When a carpainteruses a paintbased on thisresin, the curing temperature can bereducedfrom 60 to 40 °C withoutcompromising the properties. Althoughdevelopedfor VOC 420g/l compliantcar-refinishapplications, thisresin can alsobeused in othermarketsthatuse 2K polyurethanecoatings under controlledapplicationconditions, suchas ACE (agriculture, construction and earth-moving), commercial vehicles (trucks and busses) and generalindustry.

Grindinginto the nano range
// / / Fritschpresentsitsplanetarymillsseries “premium line” forgrindingofcolouredpigments down to the nanometerrange. Withthismill rotation speedsof up to 1100 rpm and accelerationof 95 times the forceofgravity can beachieved. The resultingenergyapplicationisroughly 150 % greaterthanclassicplanetarymills. The bowl and lidform a solidunit: the grindingbowls are closed gas-tight withonemotion and with a secondmotion, they are safelylocked in the mill. The grindingbowls position themselves and snapsecurelyintoplace. The grindingchamberopens and closesautomatically and independentlyrotates the bowlmounts in a convenient position forhandling. The millautomaticallydetects the insertedgrindingbowls via a special RFID chip, thenoptimises the rotation speed and preventsimpermissiblegrindingsettings.

Resinsthatresistfire and high temperatures
// “Vinnapas LL3112” hasbeenintroducedas a copolymerbinderforwaterborneintumescentcoatingsthatprotectload-bearing steel structures in the eventoffire. Itspronouncedfoaming and expansion and long-termfoamstability are coupledwithimprovedadhesion and strength. Coatingswithfireresistanceclass F120 (heatprotectionfor up to 120 minutes) can bedeveloped. “Silres MPF 52E” is a newalkoxy-functional silicone resinemulsionforheat-resistantprotectivecoatings. Low-solvent or evensolvent-freecoatings can beformulated. Applicationsrangefrompots and panstoovens, pipes, plant and machineparts. Itmaybeusedtomodifyorganicpolymers, creatingsystemsthatwillresist up to 200 °C, or as a sole binderitwillresisttemperaturesof up to 500 °C.
