DOWSIL™ 211S additive is a low-cyclic, ultra-high molecular weight silicone delivered in a waterborne system that enhances mar resistance, slip and block resistance performance, enabling more durable, longer-lasting wood coatings. DOWSIL 107F additive is a low-cyclic silicone foam control agent with high effectiveness in waterborne acrylic clear wood coating varnishes, and acrylic, styrene acrylic and VAE emulsion paint for architectural wall coatings. DOWSIL 402LS additive is a silicone additive that reduces the coefficient of friction of wood coatings, and offers blocking resistance while improving flow and leveling properties.

The LRP-425 is designed for rapid transporting of liquids at viscosities up to 1,500 centipoise. It is able to withstand harsh environments and tough wash-downs, and its wetted parts, including the pump casing, casing cover and impeller, are constructed of 316L stainless steel. The turbine vane styled impeller is engineered with tight tolerances so that product can quickly transfer with very little turbulence and slippage. It can be sold as a stand-alone unit and will also be the standard pump for Admix’s powder induction systems.

The new catalog from HEMCO Corp. showcases a complete line of products, including lab fume hoods, enclosures, lab casework, lab countertops, sinks, service fixtures, exhaust blower, ventilation, filtration systems and modular room structures. HEMCO will work with customers from project concept to project completion. The company’s technical staff will help to create a cost-efficient and time-effective laboratory that is a user-friendly, space-saving and workflow-designed environment.

TEGO® Foamex 18 consists of 98% vegetable oil, a renewable raw material. The first bio-based defoamer from Evonik specifically developed for the architectural market, it shows a very good balance between efficacy and compatibility. It is also easy to process and is suitable for both grind and let-down stages. Evonik reports that the defoamer is universally applicable and equally suitable for a wide range of formulations. The additive reportedly meets the requirements of all relevant EcoLabels such as the Blue Angel and EU Ecolabel.

ColorReader Spectro is an affordable, Bluetooth®-connected device designed to help paint retailers easily and accurately measure material colors. Datacolor reports the instrument will sell for less than the cost of a traditional bench-top spectrophotometer. It will also benefit those interested in adding a handheld device to their existing lineup of color-measurement instruments for added flexibility in measuring large, cumbersome samples. The device can be easily integrated with a customer’s existing software or Datacolor’s Paint software.

The Type CL-10DJI Dynatrol® Interface Level Switch provides level detection of interfaces between a liquid and a settled bed of solids. The DJI Interface detector operates successfully and with consistent results on applications such as carbon/water interface, sand/water interface, catalyst/liquid interface, steeping processes, and other selected applications, including interface detection between liquids of significant viscosity differences. It is useful for problem applications where the level of solid material is difficult to detect within a specified liquid. Specialized units can be used in temperatures exceeding 300 °F.

From BASF’s Colors & Effects brand, Lumina® Royal Exterior Blue Russet S6903D is a semitransparent, bluish-russet shade effect pigment. The chromaticity and brilliance arise from the pigment’s optimal particle size distribution. Expanding the red to blue color space and providing superior sparkle, the new Lumina Royal Exterior Blue Russet allows formulators to style vibrant new colors with eye-catching appearance. Coatings applications of the exterior grade include automotive OEMs and refinish, as well as aerospace, general industrial and powder coatings.
