Elementis Expands Its NiSAT Technology for Architectural Coatings in China

Elementis, a leading supplier of specialized chemicals for paint, coatings, and industrial aqueous applications, made a significant advancement in the coatings sector by expanding its NiSAT (Non-Ionic Synthetic Associative Thickeners) technology manufacturing in China. This strategic project aims to provide performance and environmentally friendly characteristics to the Chinese architecture market and beyond.

The expansion of Elementis' NiSAT technology manufacturing to China demonstrates the company's commitment to innovation, sustainability, and development in the architectural Asian market. The expansion includes a range of eco-label compatible items, with the goal of setting new industry standards for environmental stewardship and performance.

Elementis' NiSAT technology has an established track record in the industry, allowing users to create their own rheology profiles. The all-shear (low-mid-high shear) portfolio, which includes the renowned RHEOLATE HX, IF, and CVS Series, as well as RHEOLATE Powder NiSAT and the soon-to-be-released Biobased NiSAT, demonstrates Elementis' commitment to combining excellent performance with safer components. The newest NiSAT technology-based products, which are known for being VOC-, Isothiazoline-, Tin-, and APEO-free, will benefit from this change in sustainability.

These NiSAT-based technologies provide a number of application advantages. They increase spatter resistance, have great flow and leveling, and have excellent sag control, resulting in a uniform coating. The advantages of dry film include greater paint transfer efficiency, which leads to improved concealing power, as well as optimal coverage without lapping or brush strokes. These additives allow sophisticated formulas to establish new benchmarks for excellence in the architectural paints and coatings industry.

Elementis' intentional localization of NiSAT technology manufacturing in China demonstrates its dedication to sustainability and operational excellence. By minimizing transportation distances, the corporation not only secures a more sustainable supply chain, but also demonstrates its commitment to environmental care. This growth into the Americas, Europe, and Asia ensures a steady supply of NiSAT-based additives, demonstrating Elementis' worldwide competence in offering appropriate formulation solutions and its emphasis on building local relationships.
