Whether it is finding a suitable replacement for a coating additive that is no longer produced, modifying the curing characteristics of a sealant to improve process flow, or developing a brand new paint for a novel application, ARS has the willingness and capabilities to tackle the problem. We can synthesize custom resins to provide the unique properties demanded by the application; we can prototype, test and refine formulated products; and we can perform initial formulation scale-up and pilot production.
Examples of chemistries, attributes and products that ARS is accustomed to working with are as follows:
- Spectrally tailored coatings in the visible and IR wavebands
- Electrically conductive and resistive materials
- Emissivity-modified topcoats
- 1K and 2K waterborne systems
- Solventborne and solvent-free systems
- Polyurethanes, polyureas, epoxies, polysiloxanes, polyesters, polyethers, polycarbonates and fluoro- and chloro-modified polymers
- Single-component lacquers, blocked cure, oxidatively-drying and moisture-cure thermosets
- Very low-Tg elastomers
- Color- and gloss-matched coatings
- Reduced VOC coatings
- Fire-retardant coatings and elastomers
- Cast and spray elastomers
- Potting resins
