Developing Ionic Solutions for Concrete Sealers
Concrete sealers are a process that is often not completed but is very important for protecting concrete from staining, wear, and damage. There are many options currently available on the market today although not all of them offer the same level of protections. Manufacturers of concrete sealing products are developing a better option when using a Cationic water based emulsion from Gellner Industrial. How can an emulsion improve the performance of a coating or sealant? It works in this way–a Cationic solution has a positive charge meaning when you apply a coating made with this type of polymer it adheres […]

Prevent Tannin Stains with Eco-Friendly Emulsion
Have you ever finished a wood project and been disappointed when the finish has been marred by mysteriously appearing dark spots? These spots are caused by naturally occurring tannin, an astringent, plant polyphenolic compound that is a binder for proteins in trees. It is a common problem when working with many wood species and can make finishing the wood difficult. Solvent systems that have been used in the past are generally not sustainable today. Water-based, environmentally sustainable products are the best choice and a water-based emulsion that prevents oils from rising to the surface is the ideal product to meet […]
Protect Concrete With The Best Water-Based Coatings
Now that spring is finally here, and it is the perfect time to tackle the projects that have been on hold all winter. Concrete sealing is one such project that should be considered. Protecting concrete from issues that affect wear will add durability and prevent problems from occurring. There are many types of concrete sealants on the market today, but not all of them offer the same level of protection. Water-based paints and coatings containing Gellner’s Ottopol KX-99 provide an outstanding barrier to chemicals, UV rays, and abrasion. Ideal for a wide variety of applications, Ottopol KX-99 is suitable for […]
Benefits of Water-Based Acrylic Industrial Polymers
High performance resins and chemicals developed with water-based acrylic industrial polymers offer many improvements over solvent based products. Water-based acrylic industrial polymers are environmentally friendly and easy to work with. Used to produce premium-quality acrylic resins and chemicals, our polymers are widely used in many industrial applications including industrial coatings, printing inks, and high-gloss varnishes. Gellner’s vast assortment of water-based acrylic polymers provides adhesion and hardness characteristics that allow for bonding to a many different substrates. When these polymers are used in the development of acrylic resins they are extremely resistant to damages like chemicals, exposure to water, and alkaline […]
Choosing the Right Ink for the Flexo Printing Applications and the Environment
Industries must consider their impact on the environment in all aspects of their process. For 45 years the EPA has been successfully working toward creating a cleaner and healthier environment. In response, to new regulations and guidelines, industries have been choosing products that meet the requirements of their operation while also being safer for the environment. This has been a challenging issue for the printing industry but with modernized flexo printing inks, the industry has a real solution. Flexo Printing Inks are environmentally safe while meeting the high-quality demands of the packaging and printing customer. By reformulating inks to replace […]
