Gellner Industrial’s Hydroxyl Functional Acrylic Polymers
Hydroxyl Functional Acrylic Polymers when used in coatings they create unique resistance properties for chemical-resistant coatings and industrial coatings. Hydroxyl Functional Acrylic Polymers are a very important part in the formulation of chemical-resistant coatings and industrial coatings. Gellner Industrial manufactures three Hydroxyl Functional Acrylic Polymers which are used to aid our customer’s in their manufacturing of high quality coatings.Two of Gellner Industrial’s Hydroxyl Functional Acrylic Polymers, Ottopol 522 and Ottopol 510-28, cross link with melamine resins. These two anionic polymers are cross linked with Melamine resins to create both high quality and high performing chemical coatings. Ottopol 522 is an anionic emulsion and Ottopol 510-28 is an anionic […]
INTERIOR ARCHITECTURAL COATINGS
Interior Architectural Coatings Market experienced positive growth last year and the industries manufacturers expect the growth to continue in 2014. Several factors contributed to 2013 being a positive year for the interior architectural coatings industry which includes: Drop in Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Levels Increased Consumer Confidence Improved Housing Market When it comes to interior architectural coatings the properties and characteristics customers are looking for are color, hiding power, appearance, ease of application, stain resistance, flow and leveling, environmentally friendly, low-zero VOC, low odor, and user protection from toxins. The performance standards that are important to users are hiding power, […]
Rust Converting Primer with Ottopol K-12
Rust converting primer with Ottopol K-12 when applied to a rusty surface involves a chemical reaction that converts rust to black iron oxide which stops further rusting and corrosion. Rust is a natural occurrence that involves the oxidation of metal and the return to its original state iron oxide.Gellner Industrial’s, Cationic Acrylic Emulsion Polymer, Ottopol K-12 is a binder that carries the chemical that actually converts the rust to black iron oxide. The starting formula converts the rust within minutes of the coating application and forms a black iron oxide barrier which can further be top-coated with water or solvent-based paints. It does not […]
Resins for Electronics
Epoxy resins and polyurethane resins based products protect electronic components from moisture, vibration, shock, overheating, strain, and contamination. A few electronics that resins are used in the production of are circuit boards, strain-sensitive components, coils, and transformers.For example resins are used in various types of circuit board production:FR-2 Paper/Phenolic- A composite material is made of paper that is integrated with a phenol formaldehyde resin.FR-4 Epoxy- These circuit boards are made of woven fiber glass cloth with an epoxy resin binder that is flame resistant. The resin used in the manufacturing of this type of circuit board gives the board its […]
Ottopol KX-99 in Water Based Paints and Coatings for Concrete
Ottopol KX-99 is a Hydroxyl Functional Cationic Acrylic Solution Polymer that Gellner Industrial produces for manufacturers of water based paints and coatings for concrete. This polymer provides an excellent barrier to solvents, humidity, salt, acids, oils, impact, abrasion and wear that affect concrete. Our hydroxyl functional acrylic polymers produce coatings that can be used in such places as processing facilities, production facilities, restrooms, kitchens, machine ships, aircraft hangars, clean rooms, warehouses, auto repair shops, auto dealers, etc.Ottopol KX-99 will crosslink at room temperature with polyisocyanates and epoxy silanes. The fastest and most resistant coating can be formulated with the combination of a polyisocyanate […]
Printing Inks Processes, Products, & Polymers
Gellner Industrial manufactures water based acrylic polymers that are sold to companies worldwide that formulate and manufacture printing inks. Printing inks are used on a multitude of materials performed by various printing processes. Those printing processes include Screen printing, Flexographic printing, and Gravure printing. The Screen printing process involves the use of a screen(s) that is usually made of polyethylene or polypropylene. For example, think of a window screen with more minute holes that harbor different ink colors. A reverse negative image will be on a determined amount of screens depending on how many colors will be used to screen print the image. Where the screen is open the ink is […]
