Products in Aerospace Coatings: Varnishes

Tinuvin® 123 is a light stabilizer primarily used in the automotive, transportation, and paints/coatings industries. Its liquid form makes it suitable for various coating types like stains and varnishes. Known for its low blistering, crack resistance, and low volatility, it helps enhance the durability and quality of coatings subjected to light exposure.

Lo-Vel® HSF belongs to PPG's synthetic precipitated silica product line, which reduces the gloss of coatings, varnishes, and other finishes. It offers high flatting efficiency, compatibility with various coating systems, and ease of redispersion. This product line delivers a balance of clarity and flatting for overprint varnish and topcoats. It can be used in solvent- or water-based coatings, high-solids, 100%-solids, and 2K systems, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of applications.

Lo-Vel® 6000 is a synthetic, amorphous silicon dioxide flatting agent that is designed for use where a Hegman value of 5 to 6 is required. The combination of high flatting at low use levels and ease of incorporation delivers expanded formulation flexibility.

CeraSPERSE 174 is synthetic wax and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) compounded in refined linseed oil. Shamrock’s CeraSPERSE products are manufactured using a controlled crystallization process that allows the production of 1 micron wax dispersions. These wax compounds have a translucent appearance with a shiny gloss and a creamy feel. In addition to our standard products, Shamrock can develop and produce a wide range of compounds on a make-to-order basis.

CeraSPERSE 87NS is a polymeric compound for non-skid applications. Shamrock’s CeraSPERSE products are manufactured using a controlled crystallization process that allows the production of 1 micron wax dispersions. These wax compounds have a translucent appearance with a shiny gloss and a creamy feel. In addition to our standard products, Shamrock can develop and produce a wide range of compounds on a make-to-order basis.

Incozol LV is a reactive diluent designed to help producers of polyurethane coatings attain low VOC systems. It is used in the formulation of two component coatings for example, automotive refinish and OEM coatings. Other uses include high solids PU coatings for boats, industrial maintenance, aircraft, anti-graffiti lacquers and waterproof coatings.

SUSPENO 201-NBA provides anti-settling, pigment suspension and sag control with no increase in apparent viscosity. SUSPENO 201-NBA is an organic compound that affects the rheology of fluid systems. Performance is achieved by highly efficient dispersions in pigmented coatings. This additive will control pigment settling and prevent hard pack in H.A.P.’s Free formulas. SUSPENO 201-NBA is designed for New Generation, Moisture Free H.A.P.’s Free technology.SUSPENO 201-NBA provides uniform performance, being neutral and is not dependent on activation by heat or chemicals. It is unaffected by the nature of the binder, oils, resins, varnishes or vehicles. SUSPENO 201-NBA has no effect on gloss, color, color retention, flexibility, cure time water and chemical resistance, adhesion or durability.
