Fluorochemical Market Trasition From Long-chain to Short-chain Chemistry

2010-12-08T12:27:00+00:00

Amid growing confusion and increasing flux in the fluorochemical market, Advanced Polymer, Inc. would like to assure our customers that we are heavily invested in the fluorochemical market and well aware of the current changes in the marketplace. As the industry transitions from long chain to short chain chemistry, we will continue to offer both C8-based and C6-based products. Advanced Polymer, Inc. is also striving to develop non-fluorinated alternatives that will deliver the same high level of water and stain repellency. If you need help finding a product to meet your needs, please give us a call at 201-633-0600 or email our technical department for a recommendation.

New Waterborne Fluorosurfactants

2010-09-22T14:09:06+00:00

We have added two new water-based fluorosurfactants to our line. Both APFS-70S and APFS-71S are designed to improve leveling and wetting characteristics of aqueous paints, inks, coatings and adhesives at very low loading levels. In addition, they are based on short chain fluoropolymers and, as such, are considered to be non-PFOA contributing.

Advanced Polymer, Inc. Introduces New Water Repellent for Textiles

2010-07-20T17:43:16+00:00

Advanced Polymer, Inc. (Carlstadt, NJ) has introduced AdvaPel™ 727, a solvent-based fluorochemical resin solution that can be used to impart excellent water repellency and oil resistance across a broad range of substrates. AdvaPel™ 727, the first product to carry the new trademark, can be used on leather and textiles for apparel, carpeting and upholstery. It is also suitable for use on hard surfaces such as natural stone. AdvaPel 727 is non-C8 based and, therefore, considered to be non-PFOA contributing.

Advanced Polymer, Inc. Introduces New Microemulsion for Autocare Products

2009-12-08T16:01:37+00:00

Advanced Polymer, Inc. (Carlstadt, NJ) has introduced APW-319, a low turbidity, cationic microemulsion of pure carnauba wax. APW-319 can be used in a variety of applications to impart gloss, slip and resistance to dirt pick up. APW-319 does not contain ethylene glycol or alkylphenol ethoxylates.

When used in products such as spray detail waxes or automotive wash/wax systems, APW-319 will produce a thin, uniform, durable film of wax with excellent gloss and high slip. APW-319 can be used on a variety of substrates including textile, leather, metal, wood and painted surfaces to provide a finish that resists staining and dirt pick-up.

Advanced Polymer, Inc. Introduces New Surface Protectant for Composite Wood Decking

2009-10-16T15:59:55+00:00

Advanced Polymer, Inc. (Carlstadt, NJ) has introduced API-221F, a one component, water-based polymer/oligomer dispersion designed to protect the appearance and surface aesthetics of composite wood decking. API-221F will crosslink at ambient temperature to form a topical polymeric film with chemical anchors that have penetrated into the substrate. The resultant clear, durable coating film resists staining from foods, wine, oil, grease and moisture.

While composite decking materials are promoted as low maintenance or no maintenance, one of the most common problems is staining from contact with food, wine, plant materials or automotive grease and oil. The degree of staining varies depending on the exact composition and color of the decking. Some staining can be removed with cleaning, but most leave some residual color. API-221F is designed to protect the decking material to overcome this deficiency.

Advanced Polymer, Inc. Introduces New Stain Blocking Polish for Concrete

2009-09-25T15:54:09+00:00

Advanced Polymer, Inc. (Carlstadt, NJ) has introduced API-278 Stain Blocking Polish. API-278 is a water based hybrid resin system that provides a deep penetrating, high gloss, stain resistant finish for new densified concrete surfaces. API-278 forms a non-sacrificial surface that can be buffed/burnished to a high gloss. It can be used as the primary coating or can serve as a protective layer under traditional concrete polish systems. Surfaces coated with API-278 will exhibit long lasting resistance to wear, moisture and staining. API-278 is ideal for use in areas such as food storage warehouses, food service areas, grocery warehouse stores, convention centers and similar environments.
