One network. A world of solutions.
Trends and technologies
Trend watch: go green
Univar offers product-based, cost-effective solutions to green formulation and production
challenges, including expertise in implementing sustainable manufacturing practices and the
use of cutting-edge technologies to create low-VOC products.
Low-VOC
Coalescent: Optifilm™ Enhancer 400
Low odor and extremely low-VOC allows
the formulation of low-VOC paints with
very little performance compromise.
Resins
Low-VOC capable binders:
AVANSE™ MV-100 and RHOPLEX™ PR-295
High performance and environmentallyadvanced. Tough, durable coatings that
meet the most stringent VOC and
environmental standards.
High solids: Kraton® G-1643
Reduces total cost of installation and
provides fast cure with excellent adhesion
in elastomeric roof coatings.
Exempt Solvents: Acetone, dimethyl
carbonate, methyl acetate, methylene
chloride, PCBTF, perchloroethylene,
propylene carbonate, TBAc
Effective green solvency options.
APEO-free
ECOSURF™ surfactants
Low foam surfactants with excellent
wetting and easy handling properties.
TAMOL™ 2002 dispersant
Versatile, high-gloss capable dispersant
supplied un-neutralized to allow for any
base selection.
Phthalate-free plasticizers
Eastman 168™, Jayflex™ MB-10, Santicizer™
P-1400, Citroflex citrate esters, and more
A selection of plasticizers for sensitive
application needs.
HAPS-free
FlexiSolv™ DBE® esters
DBE esters allow for wide formulating
latitude and excellent solvency with
slow evaporatation for improved flow
and leveling.
Focus on formulation
Univar’s technical team connects products and technologies
from the world’s premier chemical manufacturers with Univar
knowledge and experience. We share an unparalleled level
of formulation expertise and technical knowledge with our
customers, without product bias.
Univar coatings lab
We assist with additive optimization
strategies and provide technical
support across every stage of new
product development, from concept
to commercialization.
Ineos Melamines Resimene™ CE-7103 /
Dow PARALOID™ AT-400
Room temperature-cured wood floor
coatings, based on Resimene™ CE-7103,
replace more expensive, higher VOC
isocyanate crosslinked coatings.
DuPont™ Capstone®
A collection of high-performance
surfactants with minimal environmental
footprint, offering improved substrate
and pigment wetting, leveling, dirt pick
up resistance, and anti-blocking. These
surfactants extend open time and
enhance oily stain removal. Capstone
products meet the goals of the U.S. EPA
2010 / 15 PFOA Stewardship Program.
Alkyd resin modifiers
Kraton™ FG-1901 improves flexibility,
impact resistance, and adhesion of
solvent alkyd coatings.
Honeywell A-C® performance additives
Offering rheological benefits: anti-sag /
anti-settling properties, metallic flake
orientation, and viscosity modification;
and improved surface properties:
abrasion resistance, matting, and
reduced coefficient of friction.
Eastman Piccotac™, Piccolastic™, and
Kristalex™ hydrocarbon resins improve
snap dry and adhesion.
PARALOID™ B67 from Dow Chemical is
the standard in alkyd resin modification.
New technologies
Univar's world-class network of supplier-partners offers
you a unique perspective on the latest trends, products,
and technologies.
Polymers and resins
PARALOID™ B-66 DMC
Proven B-66 solution acrylic resin in
VOC-exempt dimethyl carbonate
provides an ultra-low-VOC, general
purpose resin for cement coatings and
industrial formulations.
Additives
Dow Corning® Super Wetters:
DC 67, DC 500 series
Ideal for wetting of low energy plastics and
other challenging substrates, with little or
no impact on slip properties. Facilitates
high-speed coating. Solvent- and BTX-free.
PROSPERSE™: Acrylic / urethane
hybrid technology with
DESIGNED DIFFUSION™
Rapid hardness development, higher
gloss potential, and lower VOC
potential versus standard PUD
technologies. Faster drying and
greater durability.
Dow Corning® IE-6694
Water Repellant Emulsion
Penetrates masonry, water repellant action,
low-VOC, easy to use, and dilution stable.
FASTRACK™ HE-5030
Exceptional pigment binding efficiency
for waterborne traffic paint systems.
Reduces TiO2 and binder usage while
retaining performance.
Dow Corning® brand Slip and
Leveling Family
Provide leveling and slip with good
recoatability in multiple resin systems,
resulting in a distinguishing hand feel.
RHOPLEX™ EC-3100
An all-acrylic elastomeric roof coating
providing adhesion to TPO membranes.
RHOPLEX™ AS-8008
Flexible cement modifier with excellent
water resistance and flexibility for
waterproofing mortars and coatings.
Thermosetting technologies
Waterborne epoxy dispersions:
protected dispersion technology – low
particle size, good storage stability, and
excellent film formation.
High performance polyurethane
polyols: low monol polyols offer
increased mechanical properties and
elongation; Voranol™ B-2000 provides
improved hydrophobicity to polyether
and PTMEG polyols.
