Orion is known as front-rummer with innovative carbon blacks for the coatings industry. In this presentation our latest two product expansions will be introduced. Up until now, the carbon black industry has been dependent on conventional fossil feedstocks. ECOLAR 50 Powder is a 100 % bio-circular carbon black (proven by 14C method) for low to… Read more »

Regulatory concerns, impact upon traditionally used organic pigments in the colour using industry. PFAS or polyfluoroalkyl substances, also known as “forever chemicals”, are under question. PY154 has been used for many years due to its outstanding durability. However, this class of organic pigments contain such compounds and we took the action to develop a similar… Read more »

Advanced Circular Economy Corrosion Inhibitors: From Waste to High-Performance, Low-Carbon Solutions Sustainability in materials development often involves trade-offs with performance or cost. This study presents a novel smart-release corrosion inhibitor that overcomes these challenges by integrating circular economy principles without compromising efficacy. Using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), the inhibitor’s cradle-to-gate CO₂ footprint—including raw material extraction,… Read more »

L’industria europea dei rivestimenti si trova ad affrontare sfide senza precedenti, dall’aumento dei costi delle materie prime e dalla volatilità della catena di approvvigionamento, ai crescenti controlli normativi e alle richieste di maggiore sostenibilità. Il biossido di titanio (TiO2), pur essendo indispensabile, è al centro di questa trasformazione. Raymond Kolandai di Tynox parlerà di X-Pure… Read more »

Modern fire retardant (FR) coatings play an essential role in protecting various objects against the destructive effects of fire. Depending on their mechanism of fire protection, these coatings can be classified as intumescent or non-intumescent. They are also distinguished based on the type of fire they are designed to withstand, including cellulosic and hydrocarbon fires…. Read more »

A Universal TiO2 Grade for Evolving Regulatory Requirements Emerging challenges in the coating market include regulatory and voluntary standards. Trimethylolpropane (TMP), a common surface treatment for TiO2, is moving from self-classification to a higher health risk category. This represents a unique raw material challenge as many materials are used across various application areas, from architectural… Read more »

This paper will present a patented technology for making high molecular weight isocyanate-free polyurethanes (NIPU) with high bio carbon content. Polymers with high and controlled molecular weights can be produced without the use of catalyst and with short reaction times. The polyurethane polymers obtained are hydroxyl functional resins, which can be used for producing 1K-… Read more »
