MOSCOW (MRC) -- Celanese Corporation, a global technology and specialty materials company and a global leader in vinyl acetate ethylene (EVA) emulsions, has developed new emulsion products for architectural paints, reported the company on its site.
The company has also expanded its product portfolio for the coatings and adhesives industries, including Celansese's solvents, vinyl acetate monomer, EVA polymers and emulsions.
Thus, the company's new emulsion products - EcoVAE 450, Avicor 385 and Avicor 390 - represent solutions to many of the industry's issues including low-VOC primers, stain resistance and broad formulation latitude.
Celanese is adding to its EcoVAE line of EVA emulsions with EcoVAE 450 for low odor primer applications. This product has excellent wet/dry adhesion to a variety of substrates including alkyds, ceramics and aluminum.
The Avicor line of emulsions grows with a number of new products. Avicor 385 is an all new vinyl acrylic which is APE-free and designed to give superior performance in interior and exterior paints. The combination of high molecular weight, excellent film formation, and water resistance within the product results in excellent stain and scrub resistance while exhibiting great toughness and durability. The product is also designed to provide broad latitude in paint formulation across a range of sheens from flat to semi-gloss. Avicor 390 is a vinyl acrylic emulsion capable of creating very low VOC (volatile organic compounds) interior and exterior paints which exhibit excellent stain resistance.
Celanese's Polysolvan O solvent was developed for use in automotive paints. Because of its very low volatility, Polysolvan O is used chiefly as a paint additive in the form of a highly effective flow agent.
As MRC informed earlier, Celanese Corporation has recently introduced a range of detectable polymer technologies that can help original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers ensure products contain components and parts that meet their material specifications.
Celanese Corporation is a global technology leader in the production of differentiated chemistry solutions and specialty materials used in most major industries and consumer applications. Based in Dallas, Texas, Celanese employs approximately 7,400 employees worldwide and had 2013 net sales of USD6.5 billion.
