At the recent European Coatings Show, Cabot Corporation introduced its expanded range of treated fumed silica-based rheology modifiers designed for discerning industrial and automotive coating customers. These innovative products offer the right level of balance between rheology control and film appearance and eliminate tradeoffs between the two performance characteristics. Examples of Cabot’s expanded portfolio include the new CAB-O-SIL TS-5022 treated fumed silica and under-development TPX-1481 treated fumed silica that enable excellent film appearance. Cabot also promoted its line of specialty carbon black products including its EMPEROR high color pigments offering excellent jetness and electrical conductivity for both water- and solvent-based coatings applications. Cabot’s EMPEROR products are designed for automotive basecoats and deep black masstone applications and feature proprietary surface treatment technology that breaks the tradeoff between color performance and dispersibility.
