At the Eastern Coatings Show 2017, Orion Engineered Carbons  will launch its new DERUSSOL B230 water-borne liquid pigment preparation as part of its continued focus on easy-to-disperse Specialty Carbon Blacks. In addition, Orion (Booth 606) will highlight its easy-to-disperse XPB 430 POWDER, a stir-in preparation for water-borne coatings. The Eastern Coatings Show 2017 will take place May 15 through17 in Atlantic City, N.J.

DERUSSOL B230 is a binder-free dispersion containing 30% Specialty Carbon Black. Designed for medium jetness and tinting applications, DERUSSOL B230 provides high pigment concentration at very low viscosity.  “In this new formulation, the amount of additive needed to stabilize the pigment is drastically reduced,” said Dr. Jennifer Granados, Orion Marketing Manager, Coatings & Specialty Applications. “Optimization of the additive benefits coatings formulators by improving the compatibility of DERUSSOL B230 with other coatings ingredients.”

XPB 430 POWDER offers the highest jetness levels and strong bluish undertones needed for durable, high-quality automotive base coats. Ideal for both automotive OEM and refinish applications, XPB 430 POWDER is processed to be easily dispersed under high shear mixing. It can be dispersed directly in water and develops final colorimetric properties within minutes without further milling or additional wetting additives.
