Concrete Coating

Protect and extend concrete life with insights on industrial concrete coatings, performance benefits, and best practices from Gellner Industrial.

Gellner Industrial: New Products

Gellner Industrial is a world-wide leader in the development and production of water-based acrylic polymers, synthetic resins, hydroxyl functional acrylic polymers, and WonderWet, which is a VOC free 100% acrylic solution polymer additive for paints that enables the elimination of ethylene and propene glycol from existing paint formulations. WonderWet allows paint chemists to formulate low or zero-VOC paints without sacrificing open time or performance. Here are some of our new widely-tested and successful products. OTTOPOL SF-45: Furniture Coatings This formulation is a unique polymer that has the ability to cross link at room temperature and is most suitable for its […]

Polymer Supplier and Adhesive Manufacturer

The world of polymers is wide and varied, with many moving parts. There are hundreds of applications for our water based acrylic polymers in a variety of fields. A polymer, simply put, is a macromolecule comprised of many smaller molecules called monomers. These molecules react among themselves chemically to form long chain or three-dimensional networks. Both natural and synthetic polymers play a very important role in our day-to-day lives. The most commonly available polymer found in nature is cellulose, which is formed from the monomer glucose. Over 75% of most plant bodies are composed of cellulose. As an adhesive supplier and […]

Developing Ionic Solutions for Concrete Sealers

Developing Ionic Solutions for Advanced Concrete Sealers Concrete sealers are a process that is often not completed but is very important for protecting concrete from staining, wear, and damage. There are many options currently available on the market today although not all of them offer the same level of protections. Manufacturers of concrete sealing products are developing a better option when using a Cationic water based emulsion from Gellner Industrial. How can an emulsion improve the performance of a coating or sealant? It works in this way–a Cationic solution has a positive charge meaning when you apply a coating made […]

Prevent Tannin Stains with Eco-Friendly Emulsion

Prevent Tannin Stains with Eco-Friendly Emulsion Polymers Have you ever finished a wood project and been disappointed when the finish has been marred by mysteriously appearing dark spots? These spots are caused by naturally occurring tannin, an astringent, plant polyphenolic compound that is a binder for proteins in trees. It is a common problem when working with many wood species and can make finishing the wood difficult. Solvent systems that have been used in the past are generally not sustainable today. Water-based, environmentally sustainable products are the best choice and a water-based emulsion that prevents oils from rising to the […]

Protect Concrete With The Best Water-Based Coatings

Protecting Concrete with Advanced Water-Based Coatings Now that spring is finally here, and it is the perfect time to tackle the projects that have been on hold all winter. Concrete sealing is one such project that should be considered. Protecting concrete from issues that affect wear will add durability and prevent problems from occurring. There are many types of concrete sealants on the market today, but not all of them offer the same level of protection. Water-based paints and coatings containing Gellner’s Ottopol KX-99 provide an outstanding barrier to chemicals, UV rays, and abrasion. Ideal for a wide variety of […]

Ottopol KX-99: Fastest and Most Resistant Coating

OTTOPOL KX-99: Fastest and Most Durable Coating System Ottopol KX-99 is a polymer for water base paint and coatings for concrete you need to know about. Exterior concrete can be a difficult material to coat because it’s easily damages by many harmful elements including UV rays, heavy traffic, and harsh weather conditions. The correct application will protect the concrete from these damaging and costly occurrences and that application is the Ottopol KX-99. The ottopol KX-99 is a hydroxyl functional cationic acrylic solution polymer. Crosslinking can occur at room temperature with 20% polyisocyanates and 20% epoxy silanes. The film will become […]
