Brands in Other Printing & Packaging Applications

Malkyd is a tackifier, printing ink and paints resin with relatively high acid value and slightly wider molecular weight distribution. It is mainly used as a painting resin.

SpectraFlair pigments are light diffractive colorants that generate the appearance of multiple, bright rainbow producing prisms moving over a liquid silver color. The combination of rainbow-like color, aluminum core, and high pigment flake diameter to thickness ratio of SpectraFlair pigments create the appealing, iridescent, liquid silver metallic appearance. The pigments change from a typical metallic appearance in low illumination, to vivid, multi-rainbow effects in direct bright light. SpectraFlair pigment is a neutral color that may be used as the sole colorant or combined with other pigments and dyes to create subtle, sophisticated dimensions for products and spaces.

Foral resin is the pentaerythritol ester of highly-hydrogenated, refined rosin.

Titanium dioxide pigment is a fine white powder. When used in paints, plastics or paper, it provides maximum whiteness and opacity. It gives paint high hiding power, meaning the ability to mask or hide a substrate. It does this more effectively than any other white pigment. Today, titanium dioxide pigment is the most important material used by the paints and plastics industry for whiteness and opacity. These unique properties are derived from the refractive index of titanium dioxide. The refractive index expresses the ability to bend and scatter light. Titanium dioxide has the highest refractive index of any material known greater even than diamond. To take advantage of this property, titanium dioxide must be mined, refined and ground to a fine, uniform particle size. Nature does not yield titanium dioxide in a form that is usable by our customers.

SKYBOND is a varnish that is composed of aromatic polyimides, which are one of the most thermally stable organic materials. The products originally developed by Monsanto(USA) are polymide precursors which, when properly cured, yield composites and adhesives with the highest thermal stability of any commercially available resin system. In April 1996, I.S.T acquired the right of manufacture and sales of the varnish. After acquiring SKYBOND, it was manufactured at our I.S.T factory on the premises of Solutia's Indian Orchard plant in Massachusetts. In 2014 we moved SKYBOND® plant to I.S.T New Jersey factory (inside DuPont) and now we are manufacturing SKYBOND in there. Polyimide prepreg or honeycomb composite materials can be made combining SKYBOND with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers, that have superb thermal-resistance and flexibility. In addition the varnish is used as a thermal-resistant adhesive material or sealing agent.

Bondthane™ is range of water based polyurethanes that are fully reacted Urethane polymers dispersed in water, in addition to offering the high performance modern applications need, they contain no residual free isocyanate and a low odor, making them safer and easier to use than the alternative. Our polyurethane dispersions range from very soft and flexible films to very hard and abrasion resistant films. Today, our high performance and eco-friendly polymers are being widely used in the coatings and adhesives industries, while also finding their way into other high performance niche applications every day.

LAVIOSA VISCOGEL ™ are rheological additives which in solvent-based paints provide anti-settling and anti-staining properties guaranteeing a homogeneous distribution of the pigments, a remarkable qualitative stability during the storage and application phase. The use is simple and does not require heating or special equipment.

Raven carbon blacks consist more than 100 products for many of which are widely regarded as industry benchmarks. To this day, it remains the jettest carbon black in the world.

NEWOTEC is a Deaerating agent for PVC plastisols also Dispersing agent for pigments/fillers in organic liquids.

Silicone polyethers, or silicone surfactants, contain both a water-insoluble silicone backbone and a number of water-soluble polyether pendant groups. The ratio of the silicone to polyether, and the molecular weight and composition of the components determine the solubility and specific properties of a product. These products exist as multi-pendant and linear di-functional polymers. Siltech offers a broad range of silicone polyethers as well as custom-designed products for specific applications. These are also available in cosmetic grades, where they are commonly referred to as dimethicone copolyols. These products are widely used as emulsifiers, foaming agents, solubilizers and softeners. They are also used in many inks and coatings formulations were they add slip, mar resistance and leveling.
