Our application SOLUTIONS include:
Acrylic resins are commonly used as binders in paints, coatings, and inks due to their excellent adhesion, durability, and weather resistance.
Various additives such as anti-foaming agents, biocides, corrosion inhibitors, defoamers, and emulsifiers, are used to modify the properties of paints, coatings, and inks.
Binders and resins act as the primary film-forming components in paints, coatings, and inks, providing adhesion and cohesion.
Caustic soda, or sodium hydroxide, is employed in the manufacturing process of paints, coatings, inks, and adhesives as a pH adjuster or neutralizing agent.
Corrosion inhibitors help protect metal substrates from rust and corrosion in paints and coatings exposed to harsh environments.
Emulsion polymers are water-based binders used in the formulation of paints, coatings, and inks, offering advantages such as low VOC content and ease of application.
Extender pigments such as calcium carbonate or talc are used to increase the volume of the coating or ink without significantly affecting its properties.
Fatty acids, derived from natural oils or fats, are used as emulsifiers, dispersants, or corrosion inhibitors in the production of paints, coatings, inks, and adhesives.
Flocculants are often used in wastewater treatment processes associated with paint, coatings, ink, and adhesives manufacturing to facilitate the settling of suspended solids.
Glycols, such as ethylene glycol or propylene glycol, serve as solvents, humectants, or coalescing agents in the formulation of water-based paints, coatings, inks, and adhesives.
Phosphates are utilized as dispersants, rust inhibitors, or pH adjusters in the formulation of paints, coatings, inks, and adhesives.
Solvents play a crucial role in adjusting the viscosity of paints, coatings, and inks, as well as facilitating application and drying.
Vinyl resins, such as polyvinyl acetate (PVA) or vinyl acetate ethylene (VAE), act as binders or film-forming agents in water-based paint, coatings, inks, and adhesives.
Styrene is commonly used as a component in latex paints and coatings, where it acts as a co-monomer in the production of styrene-acrylic or styrene-butadiene latex emulsions.
Surfactants are used to stabilize emulsions and dispersions in water-based paints, coatings, and inks.
Water and Wastewater Management
For manufacturers, managing water usage and wastewater discharge is crucial. Hydrite offers a complete selection of wastewater products and services from foam and odor control to sludge dewatering. Hydrite helps optimize wastewater treatment systems and ensure compliance with discharge permits and water quality standards. Protect the environment and your bottom line with a consultative, problem-solving approach to chemical optimization.
Reclaimed Solvents/Solvent Blending
Through our solvent blending and reclamation services, we offer you the opportunity to minimize waste and lessen environmental impact. Solvent blending allows manufacturers to customize solvent blends according to specific formulation requirements, ensuring consistency and quality in the final products. Reclaimed solvents can be utilized as cost-effective alternatives to virgin solvents, helping manufacturers reduce their overall production.
Sustainable Supply Chain Management
At Hydrite, we are committed to exploring collaborative opportunities with our customer, working together to realize their operational and sustainability objectives by enhancing process efficiency and minimizing costs. Hydrite provides creative solutions that deliver cost, energy, and time savings to our customers while reducing environmental impact and increasing throughput.
