Penn Color Inc. announces the launch of its new Astrad™ portfolio of dispersions. With its broad range of applications, automotive, architectural, and industrial, this portfolio demonstrates Penn Color’s commitment to providing top-of-the-line solutions for the ever-evolving coatings industry.
Delivering Superior Color Performance & Wider Compatibility
“
As the coating industry has evolved, most new product developments have had to choose between performance or compatibility. Astrad™ overcomes this contradiction, with new systems delivering both superior color performance and wider compatibility, benefiting both the end-products and the manufacturing processes,” said Phil Adams, business director, Industrial Coatings.
Astrad™ is the new product portfolio of water-based,
solvent-based, and
UV dispersions which includes four different series:
- Astrad-WB is a low-no VOC, APEO free, binder free, water-based pigment dispersion. Astrad-WB offers high pigment loading, tight tolerances of shade and color for exact color reproduction, wide product compatibility
- Astrad-UV is available in 100% solids in a variety of monomer systems. Astrad-UV is a sustainable solution, offering low energy curing, wide compatibility, and various degrees of functionality to ensure optimal performance
- Astrad-IS is available as a broadly compatible acrylic resin system, with high pigment loading and optimal rheological properties. Astrad-IS is exceptional for universal tinting of solvent based industrial coatings
- Astrad-AUTO is available in a wide variety of single pigment dispersions covering the spectrum of automotive grade colors, with high chroma and crystal-clear transparency. Astrad-AUTO provides the highest level of flexibility for the paint formulators, with both solvent and water-borne dispersions. Astrad-AUTO can be used in both basecoats and mid-coats, for dynamic color effects
Astrad™ advantages:
- Higher pigment loading
- Tight tolerances of shades and colors
- Widely compatible systems
- Drop-in colors
