New brilliance in coatings design: Paliocrom Brilliant Orange from BASF
DSM advances low temperature curing polyester resins to architectural applications
Paliocrom Brilliant Orange L 2850 is the first of a new generation of effect pigments from BASF. This innovative pigment is based on iron-oxide-coated aluminium platelets of the thin silver dollar type, which have very fine particle size distribution. The resulting flawless brilliance together with ultra-high chroma and lightness as well as excellent hiding power offers scope for fascinating styling options. With its pronounced flop characteristics (light/dark contrast) and strong sparkle, the product allows subtle variations in coatings design. Paliocrom Brilliant Orange L 2850 is suitable for both solvent- and water-based systems. Its main applications are high-performance automotive coatings and industrial coatings for computers, telecommunications equipment and electrical appliances. In combination with other effects or coloured pigments, the product provides opportunities for a wide
DSM Powder Coating Resins extends its low temperature curing Uralac EasyCure polyester resin portfolio. Uralac EasyCure is the answer to an urgent market demand for lower temperature curing with HAA crosslinkers. The market trend is to go for reduced curing cycles, enabling lower temperatures or faster curing, resulting in lower energy costs and improved line efficiency. DSM continues to invest in improving the successful Uralac product portfolio and has developed a new low temperature curing polyester with excellent performance for architectural outdoor powder coating applications: the new Uralac P 3220. Uralac EasyCure has been developed to solve two major drawbacks typically associated with currently available low temperature curing powder coating resins, being poor appearance and flow as well as
