Local innovation breaks challenges, clariant honored with "2025 asia coatings industry technology pioneer award"

Recently, the 2025 Asia Coatings Innovation Technology Pioneer Forum and Asia Coatings Industry Pioneer Awards Ceremony, hosted by PCI, was successfully held.

Clariant's high-performance dispersants Dispersogen™ PLF 200 L and Dispersogen™ PLF 200 HE have been awarded the "2025 Asia Coatings Industry Technology Pioneer Award - Frontier Technology Breakthrough" for their outstanding innovation and practical value.

This award is not only a high recognition of Clariant's spirit of innovation but also an important achievement of Clariant's proactive implementation of the "In China, For China" strategy.

Water-based industrial coatings possess environmentally friendly characteristics such as low volatile organic compounds (VOC) and low odor, making them an important direction for the paint industry's green transformation. However, the promotion of traditional water-based industrial coatings in high-demand application areas has been long restricted due to limitations in their durability.

Based on the dispersant technology platform developed over many years, Clariant China's R&D team has conducted innovative research at the molecular mechanism level.Release twoNew highly efficient dispersant products Dispersogen™ PLF 200 L and Dispersogen™ PLF 200 HEThrough effective measuresAdjusting the water resistance and salt spray resistance of industrial coatings.SuccessSolving the Insufficient Durability of Waterborne Industrial CoatingsThe main challenge has provided key technical support for the development of water-based industrial coatings and low VOC coatings.

The core innovation of this technology lies inBy regulating the relative motion relationship between the resin and the pigment/filler phases in the coating system.It is possible to selectively control the phase separation process.Implement the gradient distribution of coating components in the longitudinal thickness of the coating, thereby affecting performance indicators such as substrate adhesion, drying process, hardness, water resistance, salt spray resistance, and gloss.

Dispersogen™ PLF 200 L/HE not only reveals the mechanism of how dispersants affect coating performance from a new perspective but also holds significant environmental value.

As an efficient dispersant,Dispersogen™ PLF 200 L/HE can provide better dispersion and stabilization performance for inorganic pigments and fillers. Provide greater adjustment space and freedom for the entire paint formulation.Thus, achieving more efficient recipe development.

The series of products are liquid at room temperature, offering good operability and fluidity. They can be used without additional dilution or heating and can be directly added as conventional dispersants.Suitable for all water-based industrial coating formulationsFor coating systems and resin systems, there are no restrictions.

With outstanding innovation, practical applicability, and significant scalability.Dispersogen™ PLF 200 L/HE fills a market gap, providing greater convenience and possibilities for the water-based transformation of industrial coatings. It will help significantly reduce VOC and carbon footprint, driving the entire coatings industry towards a more environmentally friendly and sustainable direction.
