Advanced Performance for Paints and Coatings
The advantages of using Vitrocote® in paint & coatings are unmatched by any other additive on the market today. Vitrocote® delivers significant optical and physical performance improvements.- Reduced process costs through improved dispersion
- Reduced mottling and orange peel
- Increased resistance to chipping, abrasion, marring, staining, solvents
- Cleaner, richer flop, improved distinctness of image
- Optical enhancement for liquid basecoats and clear topcoats
Vitrocote® is processed from natural amorphous aluminosilicate glass mined from a 20 million year old deposit. It is an inert white material used to improve performance and lower costs with a wide range of automotive and industrial paint and coatings.
Vitrocote® generates very unique properties even at low volumes (1% by weight), acts as a flow promoter, imparts material reinforcement, and promotes dispersion in high speed shearing and mixing equipment. Vitrocote® is 100% natural and non-toxic – very environmentally friendly.
Improved Powder Coatings
- Significant production improvements for Powder Coatings can now be achieved with finishes that approach a “Class A” liquid automotive finish, up to as much as 50% higher abrasion resistance and optically enhanced to deliver true “3-D” effects.
- Production costs are immediately reduced with the simple addition of Vitrocote® in existing equipment – no additional capital expenditures are required.
Reduce formulation costs:
- Increased dispersion allows a lower concentration of functional additives and pigments to achieve the desired effect
Reduce energy usage:
- Less energy per production unit
Reduce equipment maintenance costs:
- Reduction or elimination of equipment teardown for cleaning
Increase productivity:
- More production from the same equipment
- Increased compounding and extrusion throughput
- Faster color changeovers
- Storage Conditions
Store in a cool, well-ventilated place. Keep containers closed when not in use.
