Clariant AddWorks IBC 760
Silyl modified polymer sealants (SMP) or commonly known as hybrid sealants offer the combined strengths of polyurethanes and silicone-based sealants. Therefore, the use of hybrid sealants is increasing year after year. A challenge for SMP sealants has been to improve the light & heat stability profile while taking into consideration the increasing focus on sustainability. AddWorks® IBC 760 has been formulated to deliver outstanding UV and heat resistance. In this presentation, it is shown how this new product prolongs the service life of SMP sealants, benefitting from minimal surface cracking, reduced yellowing, improved durability and avoiding the need for hazards labelling.Â
Objectives
- Improves the durability of your adhesive and sealant formulations.
- Reduces yellowing issues during application.
- Retains in-cartridge color stability.
- Helps to formulate label-free SMP sealants and adhesives.
