CPS colour adds new colourants to Monicolour F
CPS colour is expanding its Monicolour F colourant system with two additional colourants Cobalt Green and Turquoise Green.
In the development of Temacolour W, special attention was paid to the universal character of the colourants.
As a result, manufacturers of waterborne coatings can use the products in a wide range of waterborne coatings, including, but not limited to 2k PUR, 2k epoxy, acrylate, polyester, waterborne alkyds and also waterborne decorative paints.
They are APE (Alkyl Phenol Ethoxylate) free and moreover contain the lowest possible amount of solvents or VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds).

At the same time, the selection and amount of specific pigments in the Temacolour W colourant system are tailored to industrial applications.
Manufacturers will find that Temacolour W meets the high demands that industrial coatings are faced with regarding colourant acceptance, gloss and hardness of the coat layer.
Of course, the rheology of the colourants is optimised to an excellent performance in volumetric tinting equipment.
With the ever increasing pressure of environmental legislation and VOC-guidelines, manufacturers need to find ways for reducing the amount of solvents in their production.
A tinting system for industrial applications needs to fulfill a number of professional criteria.
Not only the end result, but certainly also the practical usability in an industrial environment need to be taken into consideration.
So far, the existing colourant technologies did not meet all essential demands for application in waterborne industrial coatings.
Based on the newest technological developments, the Temacolour W tinting system is changing that.
The system is suitable for use in both factories and points of sale.
As far as colour demand is concerned, the markets for decorative paints and industrial coatings are clearly influencing each other.
Manufacturers of furniture coatings were the first to realise this, but more market segments are demanding that the manufacturer handle colour production in a smart way.
The fact that the amounts of waterborne industrial coatings are still relatively small, provides an extra motivation for using a tinting system.
After all, relatively small amounts of coloured coating demand special attention for good stock keeping, to prevent redundant products and waste.
The logical solution for efficient stock keeping and a flexible colour offering is a tinting system.
Temacolour W provides manufacturers of waterborne industrial coatings to benefit from these advantages.
