OTTOPOL K12 Reverse the Rusting Process
Here at Gellner we are continually developing unique products to solve specific problems. Rust is one such problem that, even when treated, can still cause additional corrosion. Rust is naturally occurring and metals must be treated to prevent it from causing serious problems. With OTTOPOL K-12 we have developed a solution to stop rust and inhibit further damage. Ottopol K-12 is a revolutionary Cationic Acrylic Emulsion for formulating a rust converting primer. The starting formula consists of Ottopol K-12 and Halox RC-98 which will convert rust to a black iron oxide barrier within minutes of application. It is non-hazardous 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 […]
Focusing On What Matters Most – Customers – Leads To Business Growth And Expansion
They say what you focus on expands. During the past quarter of a century – and especially in the last year or so – we’ve been living proof of this concept here at Gellner Industrial. While times change and businesses and industries evolve, at Gellner, we’ve always been focused on providing the highest quality water-based acrylic polymers – specialty resins for water-based coatings and inks – to our customers, manufacturers from all types of industries. As a result, we’ve seen our business, as well our as our customers’ businesses grow and expand. In manufacturing industries, “growth” is an aspiration and […]
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 […]
Benefits of Water-Based Acrylic Industrial Polymers
High performance resins and chemicals developed with water-based acrylic industrial polymers offer many improvements over solvent based products. Water-based acrylic industrial polymers are environmentally friendly and easy to work with. Used to produce premium-quality acrylic resins and chemicals, our polymers are widely used in many industrial applications including industrial coatings, printing inks, and high-gloss varnishes. Gellner’s vast assortment of water-based acrylic polymers provides adhesion and hardness characteristics that allow for bonding to a many different substrates. When these polymers are used in the development of acrylic resins they are extremely resistant to damages like chemicals, exposure to water, and alkaline […]
