Speciality chemicals company Perstorp will introduce its latest cutting-edge developments and solutions for future demands in Nuremberg at the European Coatings Show 2011, March 29-31. The key focus will be on new product launches for more eco-friendly technologies at the main international exhibition for the coatings and adhesives industries.

Many of Perstorp’s high-quality products are used in resins for coatings and inks and formulated coatings and adhesives. Among its portfolio of materials and skills, Perstorp’s offer for polyurethane-based systems is at the sector’s forefront. This includes performance products that can be used directly in formulations. For example Tolonate aliphatic polyisocyanates, which are crosslinkers for high-performance polyurethane coatings and adhesives, and Capa polycaprolactones, which reduce the need for solvents thanks to their exceptionally low viscosity, while achieving outstanding abrasion resistance and flexibility at low temperatures.

It also includes essential building blocks for polyurethane dispersions (PUD), ranging from dispersing monomers (Bis-MPA, Ymer N120), polyols (Oxymer polycarbonate diols and Capa polycaprolactones) and isocyanate monomers (HDI, IPDI, TDI).

Perstorp has launched Voxtar, the world’s first pentaerythritol platform based on renewable raw materials and energy. Voxtar cuts the carbon footprint by a significant 65 per cent.
