Happy Friday and welcome to L-Insight where we round up technical highlights and news from the month.
New Innovations
CERETAN MBE 30720 from MüNZING CHEMIE GmbH is a biosource (100% renewable sources) polyethylene for rub resistance, surface slip and anti-blocking. With a drop point of 177°C, it performs the same as synthetic PE and is suitable for a broad range of applications.
Technical Highlights
The picture below perfectly demonstrates the effect that the Tytan? range of titanates from Borica can have on gel strength - from a formless puddle of thin liquid to a stable cylinder of a well-formed thick gel. This level of performance with up to 1% addition levels, makes the Tytan? range a popular choice in water-based decorative paints.
News
We have had another new starter this month in the form of Jakub Kramp . He joins us fresh from his PhD looking at sustainable development in coatings and is now applying all that knowledge for HI&I and coatings customers.
Do join us in welcoming him to the team.
Behind the Scenes at Lawrence House
This month saw some of the team head over to Germany for the Quarzwerke distributor meeting. With some activities in the brisk German mountains and sampling some of the local beers, they had a great time. Thanks to Quarzwerke for hosting!
