Transformaciones Químico Industriales SL We want to be your artisans of chemistry Start Location Business Areas Oils Plasticizers Technical information Investigation and development Links Contact us Coatings information Business areas Traquisa was born as a supplier of additives and ingredients for the chemical industry in 1957, specializing in the manufacture of modified oils for the coatings sector (popularly known as paint). Traquisa quickly realized that some oils have a very important characteristic: they plasticize. According to the dictionary of the language, laminating means: "Covering papers, documents, fabrics, graphics, etc., with a sheet of plastic material ". This is where Traquisa's second business area was born : plasticizers, with two differentiated functions: Wrap the coatings (paints) with a foil or fix (laminate) the inks. Laminate polymers like PVC, making it flexible. In the 50s was the birth of the plastics industry in Spain, as we can see Traquisa was a pioneer in developing products for this sector. Business area: Modified oils We will define modified oil as any natural or refined oil that has been transformed, through a physical or chemical process, to increase its viscosity or activity. Applications: Manufacture of resins for coatings. We will define a coating as the application of a chemical composition in a liquid state, which through the drying process produces a hard and adherent sheet. If this coating is colored it is called paint. Manufacture of finished product, to obtain more viscosity in solutions of the type: varnish, enamel, high solids, etc. Business area: Plasticizers We will define as Plasticizer an inert solvent, with low volatility and a molecular weight of at least 300, which, incorporated into a polymer (PVC), increases its flexibility, elasticity and handling. How the plasticizer works Applications: Manufacture of both flexible and rigid PVC. Manufacture of inks. Water-based paints. Synthetic rubber.
