Shamrock Technologies is a leading specialty additives company eagerly looking forward to the upcoming European Coatings Show. The coatings industry has undergone significant changes over the past few years, and Shamrock has collaborated extensively with customers worldwide to develop new products to meet evolving needs.

The European Coatings Show offers a valuable opportunity for Shamrock to showcase its latest developments and innovative solutions that address the changing needs of the industry. Shamrock announced the expansion of their bio-based wax additives with the new BioSLIP series. The BioSLIP product line offers outstanding slip and mar resistance with a controlled impact on gloss and clarity.

For example, BioSLIP EC-722 is an all-natural based wax, formulated to achieve outstanding slip and abrasion resistance and release compared with fossil-based materials in metal packaging coatings. BioSLIP products integrate sustainable naturally sourced materials for ink formulations as well as coatings, improving their critical performance and extending the useful life of the coated products. 

Shamrock is also launching its new PFAS-free Maxwax product line to approach the properties of PTFE. MaxWax 70 and 80 have been found to provide an optimum combination of slip and wear resistance in many inks and coatings, inclusive of high temperature cured systems.

According to Shamrock president Joon Choo, the event is critical for the industry, providing a platform to showcase developments, learn about new trends and technologies, and shape the future of the coatings industry. As an innovative additives company, Shamrock is committed to meeting and working with customers to work on sustainability and environmentally friendly solutions, key drivers of its success in the inks and coatings sector. Shamrock is also proud to have achieved the Gold EcoVadis Sustainability Rating for its work in the use of recycled PTFE and bio sourced materials.
