Ottopol KX-99 in Water Based Paints and Coatings for Concrete
Ottopol KX-99 is a Hydroxyl Functional Cationic Acrylic Solution Polymer that Gellner Industrial produces for manufacturers of water based paints and coatings for concrete. This polymer provides an excellent barrier to solvents, humidity, salt, acids, oils, impact, abrasion and wear that affect concrete. Our hydroxyl functional acrylic polymers produce coatings that can be used in such places as processing facilities, production facilities, restrooms, kitchens, machine ships, aircraft hangars, clean rooms, warehouses, auto repair shops, auto dealers, etc.Ottopol KX-99 will crosslink at room temperature with polyisocyanates and epoxy silanes. The fastest and most resistant coating can be formulated with the combination of a polyisocyanate […]
Printing Inks Processes, Products, & Polymers
Gellner Industrial manufactures water based acrylic polymers that are sold to companies worldwide that formulate and manufacture printing inks. Printing inks are used on a multitude of materials performed by various printing processes. Those printing processes include Screen printing, Flexographic printing, and Gravure printing. The Screen printing process involves the use of a screen(s) that is usually made of polyethylene or polypropylene. For example, think of a window screen with more minute holes that harbor different ink colors. A reverse negative image will be on a determined amount of screens depending on how many colors will be used to screen print the image. Where the screen is open the ink is […]
Gellner Industrial and The Industrial Coatings Market
In the Industrial Coatings Market, Gellner Industrial is a supplier of unique polymers that provide the backbone of the coatings formulation. A segment of our resins offered by our company are sold to the clear coat and pigmented markets. The resin portion of any coating formula provides the final properties and performance characteristics of the formulated coating. Different factors must be considered when recommending a resin system for a coating. One factor is the environment. The outdoors with varying temperatures, climate, and precipitation must be considered. Depending on what part of the world companies operate in the coating they use […]
Reactor Installation at Gellner Industrial
600 Gal. Catalyst Tank & 4,000 Gal. reactor The initial installation of a reactor at Gellner Industrial began at the end of July and will continue for the next several months. Being installed in the plant is a 4,000 gallon jacketed reactor, a 2,500 gallon monomer mix tank, and a 600 gallon catalyst tank. The 4,000 gallon reactor being installed at our plant has a dimpled jacket. The dimpled jacket has a pressure rated above the 90 psi steam that is supplied for heating. The internal pressure rating is also above the process pressures that the unit will see. An […]
Low- and Zero- VOCs Technological Impact
The goal with new “green” technology is to meet the demand for low- and zero- VOCs products without diminishing the performance of the higher VOCs products that were in demand in the past. The trend toward being “green” by companies in the Paint and Coatings Industry is still an important aspect of business operations.For paint and coatings manufacturing companies Gellner Industrial formulates and manufactures polymers and resins to meet new performance standards that replace harmful VOCs containing formulas. Gellner Industrial’s low- and zero VOCs polymers and resins are vital to our customer’s because in their manufacturing process they don’t have to add […]
