High Solids Hollow pigment for higher solids coatings.


If you are currently using a hollow plastic pigment in your paper or paperboard coating formulation, here's news about a high solids breakthrough that can help you increase operating rates and/or improve sheet gloss and opacity Refers to being "opaque," which means to prevent light from shining through. For example, in an image editing program, the opacity level for some function might range from completely transparent (0) to completely opaque (100). .

HSB (Hue Saturation Brightness) A color space that is similar to the way an artist mixes colors by adding black and white to pure pigments. The pigments are the hues (H), measured in a circle from 0 to 359 degrees (0=red, 60=yellow, 120=green, 180=cyan, 240=blue,  3042NA High Solids Hollow Plus Binder is the product of advanced Dow processing technology which combines Dow's hollow sphere plastic pigment and styrene/butadiene (S/B S/B Should Be

) latex binder chemistries to create a unique pigment/binder combination. The proprietary manufacturing process used to produce HSB 3042NA High Solids Hollow Plus Binder yields more than just a physical combination of pigment and binder. It results in a product with a solids level of 42 percent--16 percent higher solids than Dow's HS 3000NA hollow sphere plastic pigment and higher than any other hollow product in the industry!

While the actual solids increase in your coating formulation will vary depending on the level of plastic pigment you use, typical formulations based on HSB 3042NA High Solids Hollow Plus Binder have about two percent higher solids than other formulations.

Faster Operating Rates

High solids makes drying easier because there is less moisture to remove after the coating is applied. As a result, you can operate at higher speeds while maintaining final moisture at your target levels. And that means you can obtain increased capacity from existing capital.
