Elementis produces sustainable coatings in Asia with NiSAT technology

Elementis, a leading supplier of specialty chemicals for paints, coatings and industrial waterborne applications, is pleased to announce a significant advance for the coatings industry with the expansion of production of its NiSAT (non-ionic synthetic associative thickener) technology in China. This strategic move is aimed at providing high-performance and environmentally friendly products to the Chinese construction market and beyond.

Elementis’ expansion of NiSAT technology production into China reflects the company’s commitment to innovation, sustainability and growth in the Asian construction market. The expansion introduces a variety of eco-label compliant products designed to set a new benchmark for environmental stewardship and performance within the industry.

Elementis’ NiSAT technology has a strong track record in the market, enabling customers to design their own rheological profiles. The full shear (low-medium-high shear) portfolio, including the acclaimed RHEOLATE® HX, IF and CVS series, as well as RHEOLATE® Powder NiSAT and the upcoming Biobased NiSAT, demonstrates Elementis’ commitment to combining high performance with safer ingredients. Known for being free of VOCs, isothiazolin, tin and APEOs, the latest NiSAT technology products gain additional sustainability benefits from this shift.

These NiSAT technology-based solutions offer a variety of application benefits. They provide improved spatter resistance, excellent flow and leveling, and their excellent sag control ensures uniform coating. Dry film benefits include increased paint transfer efficiency for improved hiding, and optimized coverage without lap or brushing. These additives enable advanced formulations that set new standards of excellence for the architectural paints and coatings industry.
