Casathane series comprises thermoplastic polyurethane resins designed for use in flexographic or gravure printing inks for application to flexible packaging substrates.

Elite goals are to develop products that allow the chemist to formulate environmentally friendly inks, coatings and adhesives; not just for conventional UV/EB markets but also for new applications where solvent based systems are currently used. Working closely with the formulator Univar have developed a range of “Elite” oligomers that impart unique physical characteristics to both the cured and uncured film which has enabled UV/EB technology to be used in areas that would never have been considered a few years ago.

Basonat® polyisocyanates are crosslinkers for two-component Polyurethane coatings for the automotive and industrial coatings industry. Basonat® harderners have an influence on the curing time of the systems.

K-FLEX® diols are solventless liquid polyester diols that range in viscosity from 400-12,000 cPs and can add a balance of flexibility while retaining hardness. They are especially suited for adhesives that require good clarity and low color development.

Laromer® is the trademark for radiation-curable binders and monomers. Laromer® types are unsaturated acrylic ester resins and functional acrylic ester monomers for radiation-curable coatings. Functional acrylic ester monomers are non-volatile reactive thinners that serve both to adjust the processing viscosity and, through incorporation into the cured films, to modify the properties of the final coating. Unsaturated acrylic ester resins, due to their different chemical structures, determine within broad limits the basic properties of coatings. Laromer® UV monomers and oligomers can be used for 100% UV composite systems. In addition Laromer® grades offer possibilities in styrene emission reduction. They also allow changing of the properties of traditional epoxy or unsaturated polyester systems, e.g. an increasing flexibility and/or cohesion of the final composite. Our Laromer® range contains urethane acrylates (aromatic), urethane acrylates (aliphatic, with monomer), reactive diluents, epoxy acrylates (aliphatic & aromatic), amine-modified polyether acrylates (alkoxylated), oligoether acrylates, polyether acrylates (monomer-free, amine-modified), polyester acrylates, Laromer® pigment grinding resin. The Laromer® product line offers high-performance binders, resulting in emission-free energy curing of offset, liquid and screen inks plus overprint varnishes.

SHIKOH™ is a UV curable urethane acrylate oligomer. It is used for inks, coatings, and adhesives to add various functions such as toughness, elongation and elasticity. SHIKOH™ is suitable for Ultraviolet beam (UV) and Electron beam (EB) cure system as well as thermal cure. We have wide range of grades based on properties.Bio-based grade is also available.*SHIKOH™ is provided by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, a member of the Mitsubishi Chemical Group

Parylene is the trade name for a specific family of highly crystalline polymers commonly used as a film coating to protect sensitive devices and components from extraordinarily harsh environments.
