Brands in Film & Foil Coatings

IrisColor is our series of universal pigment dispersions specific for architectural paints and enamels for interiors and exteriors, formulated to be used for in-plant tinting.

DEHESIVE® products are tailored to applications and have a successful track record of over 30 years of use around the world as silicone release coatings for paper and film. DEHESIVE® silicones set standards in versatility, processability and economy. Thanks to their chemical structure, the organosilicon compounds found in DEHESIVE® silicones have excellent release properties towards sticky substances. Silicone-coated release liners not only adhere to labels to prevent contamination and damage during handling, they can also be peeled off smoothly without loss of adhesive strength. The unique market portfolio is the ideal choice wherever release papers are produced. The advanced technology is ideal for modern applications in the labeling, adhesive tape and food industries.

Cerami-Pak® coatings are a special family of ceramic fluorocarbon composite materials developed specifically for the film and packaging industries.

IrisBlendW is our series of water-based colorants, specific for architectural paints for interiors and exteriors, designed to be used with tinting equipment.

IrisECO is our series of water-based high concentrated pigment dispersions for in-plant tinting. Developed for architectural paints, is used also in industrial paints, wood coatings and various other applications.

SYNPRINT is based on our proprietary self-crosslinking technology. This technology combines two different crosslinking mechanisms on the same polymer backbone, substantially increasing the chemical resistance, water resistance and adhesion to multiple substrates. This technology was designed for the self- crosslinking mechanism to fully cure at room temperature while maintaining long-term shelf stability.

Matt to ultra-matte paint surfaces require matting agents with the highest efficiency. That’s were synthetic, micronized silica of the sylysia range come into play. They are characterized by a controlled porosity and a narrow particle size distribution. The extensive range of unmodified or surface-treated grades makes sylysia matting powders suitable for many modern applications.In addition to pure surface matting, sylysia silica are also used for other surface effects such as anti-blocking and improved printability of surfaces.

NovoColor® SF waterborne dispersions are designed for in-plant tinting of coatings and stains where a high degree of color transparency is desired. Composed of high quality, lightfast pigments, it offers excellent color stability and uniformity. These colorants are controlled to very stringent color and opacity standards, and give the user batch to batch appearance uniformity.

Nitrocellulose Group (“NCG”) is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of Nitrocellulose, a product used by customers in the Printing Ink and Coating industries. Whilst constantly striving for long term product development and efficiency, safety remains a fundamental operational requirement. Two types of Nitrocellulose are offered to customers, dense type in the form of cuboid granules based on the company’s unique technology, which has become the product of choice in the Printing Ink Industry worldwide, and the other based on cotton linter. All products are offered with a choice of wetting agents- ethanol, isopropanol and water.

Water soluble fluorescent toner for water flexo applications

FLEXGLOSS is a Polyamide base common inks system for gravure and stack flexo surface printing on flexible films.

Our Radglo ICE line consists of daylight and ultra-violet responsive fluorescent pigments for water, solvent and oil based cosmetic applications. These very bright colors can be used to make deeper reds, pinker pinks, or on their own to make UV responsive cosmetics.

Excellent Adhesion, Mechanically Stable

DIACRON™ are saturated copolymerized polyester resins used for coatings, inks, and adhesive applications. They have good adhesion to metals, polyester film, polycarbonate, and can be cross-linked with isocyanates, melamine, and epoxies. *DIACRON™ is provided by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, a member of the Mitsubishi Chemical Group.

VANCRYL® is a high solids colloidal dispersion that can be neutralized with ammonia or other alkaline materials to provide an outstanding vehicle for corrugated printing ink applications. This product, at 40% solids, reduces the cost in ink systems based on pre-neutralized colloidal acrylics.

Texicryl® emulsion used to enhance the workability and technical performance of products being supplied into the building and decoration market.A diverse range of thickeners and binders for the Artist Colors market. It can also be used in water-based styrene acrylic emulsion polymers and solid resins specifically developed for graphic art applications, as a rheology modifiers for Hand Cleanser applications.With over 60 years’ experience, our range of PVA / acrylic binders and inverse emulsion thickeners deliver high performance in textile and furnishing products.

SOLESPHERE™ microsphere silica gels are environmentally safe, non-nanoparticle, non-plastic, non-petroleum ingredients that enhance the performance of skincare and cosmetics. They can be used in oil-in-water, water-in-oil and anhydrous formulations to provide UV boost, reduce greasiness and stickiness, minimize pores, absorb oil and perspiration, improve spreadability and provide a matte appearance.

FMSIL fumed silica is a highly pure, nanoparticle size silicon dioxide available as untreated hydrophilic and surface-treated using different organosilanes hydrophobic types. FMSIL fumed silica acts as an efficient and reliable rheological as well as suspension aid, carrier viscosity modifier in emulsion, and also as a mattifying agent.

Acrylic Bead Resins are a line of solid, spherical methacrylate and acrylate resins produced by suspension polymerization. The free-flowing nature of these resins allows for easy dissolution in a variety of solvents and monomers. Our acrylic bead resins are non-hazardous allowing for convenient handling, transportation, and storage and can be used in a wide range of coatings, inks, and adhesives applications.   At Mitsubishi Chemical Group, we can provide you with a broader portfolio of resins than we can currently showcase on Knowde, with varying of molecular weights, glass transitions temperatures, and functional groups. If you are interested in exploring the full range of possibilities or require expert guidance, reach out by sending us a message request. *Acrylic Bead Resins is provided by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, a member of the Mitsubishi Chemical Group.

WACKER markets vinyl chloride co- and terpolymers in the form of dispersions and solid resins under the VINNOL® trade name.

VINNAPAS® is WACKER’s brand name for a versatile range of polymer-based dispersions, powders and resins that are used to improve the properties and performance of products in a wide range of industries.
