Coatings World sat down with Nigel Atkinson, Vice President – Paints & Coatings at Arxada, to learn about the company’s initiatives, innovations, and what they will be displaying at Booth #1538 at ACS 2024.

1. What will Arxada be exhibiting at the American Coatings Show 2024?

We are leveraging our decades of experience in paints & coatings formulation and application, vast knowledge resources in microbiology, and expertise in regulatory affairs to deliver unique offerings to the market. So make sure to visit us at Booth # 1538.

Our product offering to the paints & coatings industry will be a main focus, as our portfolio of preservatives and additives is one of the broadest available. We will showcase our advanced wet-state preservatives based on a wide array of active chemistries and formulated products to give customers unparalleled flexibility. Customers will recognize some of the leading brand names in wet-state protection, including Proxel® and Mergal®. We will also be showcasing our dry-film preservatives under the Polyphase®, Troysan®, and Omadine® brands, to name only a few. Based on a diversity of active chemistries including IPBC, Arxada’s dry-film products promote industry leading coatings and asset protection backed by decades of expertise and proven history. We will also be featuring our advanced TIME controlled release dry-film preservatives at the show, a suite of latest generation encapsulated antifungal and antialgal products engineered to provide balanced protection over time, reduce leaching into the environment, and maximize safety, handling, and environmental advantages.

An important differentiator in Arxada’s portfolio is our performance additives, something unique amongst preservatives suppliers. Our additives for liquid coatings include Troysol® substrate wetting and flow & leveling additives, Troykyd® defoamers, Troysperse® dispersants, Troythix® rheology modifiers, and Effexel® open time additives, as well as Troymax® driers and Troycat® catalysts. These products have a long history of success and offer excellent control of application and surface properties. Going beyond liquid coatings, Arxada offers its Powdermate® additives for powder coatings, providing functionality in flow & leveling, degassing, and texturing.



In addition, Arxada will be presenting its premier services. These include global regulatory assistance and comprehensive technical services, including microbiological and field testing, R&D and analytical support, and the unique TMMA (The Microbial Management Advantage) plant hygiene program.

2. What about your sustainability focus at the show and beyond?

At ACS 2024, we will share with visitors our innovative technologies that have been developed to deliver sustainable preservation.  It’s all about efficiency through Better Science to achieve optimum performance and cost, with less wasted material.

Sustainability is one of the main trends driving the industry today, and one that Arxada fully embraces.  At ACS 2024, we will see this topic behind many of the discussions taking place. Arxada is at the forefront of innovation to serve sustainability objectives ensuring that our partners are able to reach their sustainability goals, satisfy the green requirements of end-use customers, and reduce overall carbon footprint. With our focus on Planet, Preservation, and People, we are committed to being a responsible corporate citizen for the benefit of customers, employees, neighboring communities, and the environment.
 
We are focused on delivering Better Science to Solve the World’s Toughest Preservation Challenges. We innovate to achieve industry leading preservation performance whilst improving the environmental, health, and safety profiles of our products. Innovation will of course be another key theme at ACS, with leading technologies that push the boundaries of functionality and performance.
 
As a global leader in preservation, Arxada is playing a major role in this innovation chain, committing fully to advancing the sustainability agenda of our industry and providing the best preservation solutions serving society’s needs, while delivering the quality, reliability, protection, and service life extension that paints and coatings end-users expect.
