BTC Europe – One Year to Go!


BTC Europe – One Year to Go!

There is only one year to go until Surfex 2020 and BTC Europe are already busy discussing some of the newly launched BASF products that will feature on their stand. BTC Europe serves the Coatings and Printing Inks industries with a well-established portfolio of BASF Resins, Performance Additives, Formulation Additives and Effect Pigments, Inorganic and Organic Pigments and Pigment Preparations. BASF continuously adds new products to their portfolio including novel formulation additives for optimised coatings. The latest products were well received at ECS2019 and will certainly feature at Surfex 2020.

They included Hydropalat® WE 3225, a new silicone based wetting agent with best-in-class defoaming action. It offers a host of performance benefits including  good substrate wetting, elimination of surface defects (anti-cratering), low VOC and odour, and very good accentuation of wood-grains. BTC will be showcasing this additive for the Furniture and Flooring industry.

The new Dispex® Ultra PX 4290 is a high molecular weight dispersant for water-based coatings, printing inks and adhesives. This is a versatile new dispersant imparting excellent viscosity reduction and stabilization. It’s perfectly suitable for both organic and inorganic pigments and provides improved colour strength and transparency.  With such a broad range of applications and benefits this will be a high-profile product at Surfex 2020.

For information on these and other new releases please contact Chris Morgan, Head of Sales for Coatings, Inks and Plastics in the UK  christopher.morgan@btc-europe.com

We are looking forward to showcasing these new releases and more at Surfex 2020.
