Special Coatings

The Elan-tech^® PAI NMP/NEP are polymers used for the production of varnishes and special coatings. This materials have excellent thermal properties intended for the electrical and industrial sector. The NMP/NEP based PAI are available in different versions with different molecular weights and are suggested for the production of thermostable and thermosetting varnishes.

The Elan-tech^® PAI NMP and NEP free series has been studied to develop green and eco-sustainable products. They can be used as binder or in combination with crosslinker in the sector of non-stick coatings or as anti-friction for protective coatings in the automotive field and in the industrial coating.

The waterbased Elan-bind PAI NMP and NEP free has been studied to develop green and eco-sustainable products. The resins included in this series are high performing polymers that are thermally stable and chemically resistant. The cured resin is capable to operate at temperatures higher than 240 °C for extended time periods. The resulting coatings can be used in the fields of non-stick cookware, wire insulation, printed circuit, can coating, aerospace applications and comply with FDA requirements.

The Elan-tech^® FE is a special etherified thermosetting resin, light color. It is a crosslinker with high solid content, improves the chemical and mechanical resistance in hydroxyl systems such as epoxies, polyesters and alkyd systems. The curing is very fast, but is possible to increase the reactivity using in addition phosphoric acid (0,5-1 %) on total solid resin.

The Elan-ext PS is a range of silicone resins with features varying with the different application typologies. The crosslinking silicone polymers have stiff or elastic films. They are capable of protecting and insulating dielectrically up to very high temperatures and are also used as additives in the manufacture of high temperature varnishes as well as in the food industry. The recommended curing time is 8 min x 280 °C.

The Elan-ext AC is a range of acrylic resins with features varying with the different application typologies. The resin Elan-ext AC 300 is a special polyol-acrylic resin. The polymer has high functionality and is designed to reticulate in forced ventilation ovens with aliphatic poly-isocyanates. It is particularly recommended for protective coatings in industrial applications where high performances are required.

Elan-coat resins are used in the formulation of products for internal and external varnishing of metal packaging, cans application on to metal and can also be applied as lacquers for food contact. Among the advantages of this technology are application on to metal and can also be applied as lacquers for food contact. Among the advantages of this technology are the internal performance levels similar or superior to those of conventional products containing BPA and the opportunity to meet eventual future legal requirements such as, for example, the limit of formaldehyde. The recommended curing time is 15 min x 250 °C.
