New Product Development and Color Matching

Custom formulating of dispersions for use in a wide variety of applications is at the heart of what we do daily. Certain customer applications require solutions beyond our standard product lines.

We work closely with our customers to accommodate requests for specific raw materials, formulations, and specifications. We utilize our experience to develop a tailored solution to fully integrate your specified materials and process.

Examples include:

  • Pigment dispersions in various plasticizers for use in plastisols and orasols. Applications include dip, slush and rotational molding processing for toys, hand tools, sporting goods, toys, shoes, automotive parts, automotive interiors, vinyl coated paper, vinyl coated fabric.
  • Custom dispersions for use in flexible Polyurethane Foam: examples include slab-stock, carpet under-padding, upholstery, toys, novelty items and other ‘flexible foam’ applications.
  • Custom dispersions for use in rigid foam applications (RIM) such as chair arm rests, taxidermy and car steering wheels, and
    automotive bumper/ fender systems.
  • Custom dispersions and blends for cast urethane parts like seals, rollers, pipeline pigs, etc.
  • Dispersions for use in epoxy applications such as casting, potting, coating, etc.
  • Custom colors for in-plant aqueous or solvent-borne paints and stains for a variety of industrial and architectural requirements.
  • Custom dispersions for silicone adhesives, caulking, etc.
  • Specialty ink applications for the printing industry.
  • IR (infrared) reflectivity or solar reflective paint colors that provide high TSR (Total Solar
  • Reflectance) values for ‘cool coating’ technology, with applications in infrastructure, construction (roofs, exterior cladding, trim and window profile), transportation (interior and exterior surfaces), recreation (playgrounds and sports surfaces), and military.
