FR EN MENU Sector Coatings, printing inks and varnishes As an independent producer, SYNTHRON has developed a comprehensive and innovative range of additives for paints and liquid varnishes in both solvent and aqueous phases, plus for powder coatings. These additives allow formulators to achieve additional performances or functional solutions to enhance the coatings quality while also helping to protect the environment. Given the wide range of functions and their expertise in synthesis, SYNTHRON-PRODEV is a major presence in the paints, printing inks and varnishes market. SYNTHRON-PRODEV anticipates and closely tracks market trends in terms of both technology and regulations, which have a significant impact on new developments. Product List Liquid Coatings, Printing Inks and Powder Coatings New products MODAREZ® PSL 1000 and 2000 These new levelling agents are low molecular weight polymer-based. They are silicon-free and FDA 175-300 approved, making them suitable for industrial metal coatings and varnishes applications, coil-coatings, packaging coatings and solvent-based automotive paints applications. They prevent the craters formation , pinholes and “orange peel” wrinkling. Thanks to their excellent compatibility with solvent-based systems, they enhance levelling and gloss and are a perfect tool for the formulation of transparent varnish. SYNTHRO® BOND AP 811 SYNTHRO®-BOND AP 811 is a new adhesion promoter agent which provides excellent properties to industrial paints on metal substrates and coil-coatings applications. It improves adhesion and increases the film plasticity without affecting surface hardness. It can be used both in aqueous and solvent-based systems. Applications Given the wide range of additives available, our Group is active in various parts of the industrial and decorative coatings and printing inks markets. decorative and architectural coatings industrial coatings for metal, plastic and wooden supports paints and varnishes for metal packaging (packaging coating) coil coating protective and marine coatings automobile coatings printing inks OUR FUNCTIONALITIES Adhesion promoter Additives which improve the adherence of a formulation (adhesives, paints, etc.) on a substrate Catalyst Additives which accelerate the chemical reaction of 2 components, improving system performance and reducing drying time Conductivity The role of a conductivity agent is to increase the conductivity of a paint to a certain threshold at which it is eligible for electro-static spray application. Corrosion inhibitor Additives which help to prevent corrosion Defoamer and air release Additives which prevent or destroy any foaming which can appear during the manufacture or application of a product. Dispersing Additives which help disperse and stabilize pigments in paints or solid particles in a liquid formulation during the manufacturing process. They can also be used to disperse fertlizers in watr-based formulations. Fire retardant Additives which enhance fire resistance Levelling Additives which help improve the surface aspect of a paint or any other liquid formulation Resin A polymer which provides the desired mechanical properties to a formulation. Rheology Additives which help control the rheology of a formulation. Stabiliser, Buffer Additives which help stabilise a formulation or pH Tannin blocker Additives which help block tannin migration during leather manufacture or in the formulation of a water-based wood primer VOC scavenger Additives which absorb or prevent the release of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) such as formaldehydes and acetaldehydes. Water-repellent Additives which help make a substance water-repellent, creating a protective film. Wetting Additives which, by modifying the surface tension of a formulation, improve the wetting effect of pigments, loads or even substrates Standards Standards & certifications SYNTHRON-PRODEV develops products which meet the terms of various European and global regulations, such as Ecolabel®, Blue Angel® and others, as well as “food contact” regulations for products and varnishes used in packaging, printing inks, etc. FIND OUT MORE Star products MODAREZ® SW 452 A substrate wetting agent which acts by reducing surface tension, for all paints and varnishes in aqueous phase. It is highly effective on all supports, particularly contaminated or poorly prepared supports. When used as a primer, it has no effect on inter-layer adhesion. MOUSSEX®-S 8044 The product MOUSSEX®-S 8044 is a VOC-free versatile defoamer for water-based coatings and printings inks. Based on modified polysiloxane emulsion, this additive is a very performant defoamer for high quality industrial and decorative coatings and printing inks. Very easy to incorporate in the paint whatever the production phase, including on post-addition, MOUSSEX®-S 8044 is also very performing during the pigment grinding step. As extra advantage, this additive avoids craters or defect and does not affect the gloss.
