Clariant Smoothing the Shift to Water-based Wood Coatings
For example, Clariant’s 100% bio-based micronized wax Ceridust® 8091 Vita, has received a 2023 Ringier Innovation Award for its contribution to progressing more responsible, cleaner manufacturing. Based on 100% renewable, non-food competing raw material, it stands out as a water-based solution that is very easy to disperse and brings outstanding scratch resistance and scuff resistance to an aqueous coating system. While also delivering an exceptionally silky and comfortable touch. Products such as wood doors, floors and furniture will stay looking good for longer, during handling and use. The innovation even gives a high water-repellence effect to water-based acrylic lacquer.
Clariant is a frontrunner in its sustainability focus to support coatings. They offer a number of renewable-based formulation ingredients with accompanying product carbon footprints to help the industry viably integrate a higher percentage of bio-based components in their products.
