Polyester for powder coatings

Strong protection, good looks and environmental compliance

Key features:

• High performance for indoor, outdoor durable and super-durable applications
• Curing options to meet all your needs, including TGIC, TGIC-free, epoxy, acrylic, ß-HAA, polyglycidyl ester and polyurethane solutions
• Resins for non-emissive polyester-urethane systems for special effects in architectural, antigraffiti and transportation applications
• Compliance with GSB and Qualicoat Classes 1 and 2
• Compatibility with tribo, gas oven and low temperature curing
• Shortened curing/cooling cycle times for improved coating of large, heavy components and heat-sensitive substrates.

Powder coatings are finely ground particles that are deposited onto a substrate and cured to produce an attractive film coating with critical protective and aesthetic properties. Synthomer’s thermosetting resins improve your powder coating applications by enhancing a wide range of properties.

Our thermosetting resins for powder coatings are essential components of powder coatings, and are largely based on carboxyl and hydroxyl functionalised resins.

They minimise VOCs, waste and overall environmental impacts, and can be applied efficiently in applications such as architectural, transportation, and heavy duty industrial. Leveraging Synthomer’s innovative coating technology, they will meet or exceed your most rigorous compliance and performance requirements.

ALBESTER^TM, ALBESTER^TM Silkymatt, ALBECOR^TM, and ALBEMAST^TM range of powder coating resins

ALBESTER^TM resins guarantee powder coaters superior quality, consistency and durability in high-gloss powder coating applications. Available for either standard, IR, tribo or gas-oven curing, they will meet performance and regulation criteria defined by AAMA 2603 and 2604, and GSB and Qualicoat Classes 1 and 2. They can also be customised to provide the performance characteristics needed to meet your specific requirements.

ALBESTER^TM SilkyMatt resins deliver high-hiding, beautiful, low gloss powder coats. They are available in standard durability and superdurable formulations to meet AAMA 2603 and 2604, and GSB and Qualicoat Classes 1 and 2 standards. Resins in this range will satisfy almost any performance and gloss requirement, from dead matte (below 5) up to 50 units.

ALBECOR^TM resins have been specially developed to enable you to exploit low-temperature curing systems, one of the most important innovations in powder coatings. As a result, they help you cut your energy bills and CO₂ emissions, and increase the productivity of your coating lines. They also help you exploit novel powder coating applications.

Synthomer’s masterbatches are carriers specifically designed to help you incorporate additives into powder coating formulations while maintaining coating performance. ALBEMAST^TM masterbatches are easy to use and deliver product performance benefits that help formulators improve consistency while saving time and money.
