Supporting the trend to bio-based ingredients & eco-labels
As the industry's first renewable-based, VOC/SVOC-free1 and hazard label-free neutralizing agent, the new 3-in-1, sugar-based Genamin® Gluco 50 additive supports formulators in meeting consumer demand for low odor, healthier and easy-to-apply indoor paints.
Genamin Gluco 50 is awarded Clariant’s EcoTain® label for sustainability excellence. To date, Clariant offers more than 150 EcoTain® products that often outperform conventional products not only in terms of profitability but also with respect to performance and sustainability.

Improving customer convenience
The Hostatint™ WI, a range of aqueous, binder-free pigment preparations designed for water-based industrial coatings based on non-ionic and/or anionic wetting and dispersing agents with excellent color strength and high chroma in water-based industrial coatings.
Visitors can draw insights on the automotive industry's forthcoming color trends through the Automotive Styling Shades Trendbook 2019, which is based on Clariant’s color know-how and observations of social trends, topics and industry developments.

Specifically for China
As the domestic market in China continues to grow, Clariant offers products tailor-made and optimized to satisfy the specific needs of the local market, including:
Ceridust® 2740 TP, a blend that is easy to incorporate into water- and solventborne industrial coating systems. Used in wood coatings it provides excellent matting and high clarity properties while Ceridust 9322 F TP, a PTFE-modified solution, provides very high scratch resistance levels to solventborne wood coatings. Both solutions can also be used in powder coatings.

With Exolit® AP 428, a new flame retardant based on ammonium polyphosphate, Clariant provides a grade which greatly simplifies the production of waterborne intumescent coatings.

Hostavin® 3070 Disp, a light stabilizer dispersion with 52% active content, offers a “label free” alternative to traditional HALS currently used in waterborne systems. Available to global customers, it is of particular relevance to the growing demands for sustainable materials in China. Hostavin 3070 Disp has been awarded the Clariant EcoTain label for its outstanding sustainability and performance profile.

Dispersogen® 2778, an APEO-free dispersing agent for pigments, excellent dispersing effect for waterborne pigment preparation of carbon black and organic pigment.
Clariant will be exhibiting at booth no. W2.E21-28 during ChinaCoat 2017 to be held on 15-17 November 2017 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC).
