Boost your Adhesion with Cohesa® Emulsion Additives

Solstice Cohesa® additives are innovative high-solids copolymer-in-water emulsions formulated with low or zero surfactant content and may be used in a broad range of waterborne formulations to improve technical characteristics. Key benefits from their use include improved adhesion, especially to low surface energy substrates, e.g. HDPE, LDPE & PP improved resistance of an adhesive to shear and improved abrasion resistance in inks and coatings.

Key Benefits

• Improved adhesion to low energy substrates
• Enhanced adhesive performance at high & low temperatures
• Outstanding rub & scratch resistance
• Uncompromised water resistance

Developed for use in water-based applications such as adhesives, pressure sensitive adhesives, inks, and coatings. Cohesa® additives are also ideal for many other water-based applications. Don’t spend another day worrying about poor adhesion and contact your Barentz Account Manager today for a technical consultation.

NDUROMATT Matting Agents for Paints and Coatings

Solstice’s new NduroMatt product line offers a wide range of performance attributes for architectural, wood, industrial, and functional coatings. NduroMatt products can completely replace conventional matting agents or can be used to supplement matte coatings to enhance surface properties. Matte coatings are more prevalent than ever before, yet the requirements for durability and longevity remain the same. Conventional matting agents make coatings susceptible to surface defects such as burnish, mar and scratch, negatively impacting the durability of matte paints and coatings.

Solstice's new NduroMatt provides a 2-3-fold improvement over conventional matting agents.

• Matting Efficiency
• Burnish Resistance
• Rub Resistance
• Viscosity Build
• Shelf Stability

Don’t get stuck using traditional matting agents! Contact Barentz today to see how Solstice’s NduroMatt matting agents can offer efficient matting, enhanced longevity, and unrivaled durability to your coating formulation.
