Tytan™, manufactured by BORICA Co., Ltd. from Taiwan, is a leading range of additives for high performance industrial metal coatings. With its roots firmly in the ICI tradition, BORICA is committed to provide producers and developers of industrial coatings with a complete range of high quality products, cutting edge technology, good service and competitive prices. BORICA offers the most comprehensive product range of environmentally friendly titanate adhesion promoters and cross-linkers to the global coatings industry.
Tytan™ titanates strongly improve adhesion to metallic substrates through covalent bonding, cross-linking the functional groups of a wide variety of resin binders and acting as a coupling agent for pigments and fillers. This allows formulators to develop coatings for a wide variety of binder systems that have the necessary adhesion and anti-corrosive properties to withstand the toughest requirements of today’s general industrial, chemical and transport industries.
For ambient cure coatings heat resistance can be improved to withstand temperatures of 250°C (500°F). For baked coatings the Tytan™ products will both engage in additional cross-linking and also have a catalyzing effect on the cross-linking of the resin, resulting in coatings that can resist temperatures of up to 650°C (1200°F).
Tytan™ Organo-Titanates are particularly suitable for improving the properties of coatings with silicone based binders, due to the synergistic chemistry of titanates and silicones.
In addition to our Tytan™ range suitable for solvent based binder systems we also introduce our water based Tytan™ AQ33 for water based coatings & Hymer™ 39 for energy-cured coatings.
Tytan™ CX-range allows manufacturers of decorative and architectural paints to have full control over the rheological properties of their products.
The CX range of Tytan™ products strongly improves rheological application properties of waterborne paints providing the end-users with non drip paints with improved flow properties, reduced sagging/spatter and low VOC.
In addition to our Organo-Titanate based CX range, suitable mainly for colloid stabilized paints BORICA also produces Tytan™ ZPN, an Organo-Zirconate based thixotrope suitable mainly for surfactant stabilized paints.
Tytan™ is a leading range of adhesion promoters and cross-linkers for the global ink manufacturing industry. The current range of Tytan™ products strongly improves adhesion of printing inks to flexible and metal packaging films while enabling them to withstand heat sealing, freezer storage, abrasive handling, solvents, acids, greases during printing, packaging, storage and handling by consumers. Our range includes Tytan™ AP100, the low colour and low odour alternative, fully registered in Europe and the USA.
In addition to our Tytan™ range suitable for solvent based flexographic and gravure inks we now also introduce our:
- Water based TYTAN™ AQ33 for water based inks
- HYMER™ 39 for energy-cured inks
As such BORICA can offer the most comprehensive product range of environment friendly adhesion promoters and cross-linkers to the global ink industry.
Tytan™ is a leading range of Organo-Titanate based products for the world’s sealants manufacturing industry. These products act as combined cross linkers, catalysts, moisture scavengers and modulus modifiers.
The current range of Tytan™ S-range of products allows manufacturers of neutral cure RTV silicone sealants to strongly improve their products to meet the requirements set by today’s challenging construction, automotive, aeronautic and electronics industries.
Tytan™ S-range of products offers:
- Extended shelf-life through moisture scavenging
- Faster curing through catalysis of hydrolysis of the methoxy terminated curing agents
- Increased modulus of elasticity through cross-linking with Si-OH functional groups
- Improved adhesion to some substrates
