MARCOATM and MARNEXTM – Solid Polyester Resins for Coatings, Inks and Adhesives
Macroocean’s amorphous MARCOATM and MARNEXTM solid polyester resin series compile a wide range from high to low molecular weight products to formulate coatings, inks, and adhesives in order to improve the adhesion to plastics, metals, papers, fabrics, and many other substrates, advance the weathering and yellowing resistance, as well as, impart good flexibility, tensile resistance, and deep drawing resistance. Due to their OH-functionality, the solid polyester resins can be cross-linked with standard hardeners such as isocyanates or amino resins. Most of the products can be applied to indirect food contact systems as they are compliant with FDA 21 CFR 175.300.

Talc is oleophilic which gives it the ability to associate with liquid resins such as alkyds, epoxies, polyesters, acrylics, amines and polyols. In doing so, they create weak bonds with these resins that result in increased low-shear viscosity. When shear is applied the bonds break quickly, resulting in shear-thinning rheology that is ideal for many applications.
Closed cell perlite based hollow microspheres TRI-SPHERES®
Description
TRI-SPHERES® are hollow multi-cellular microspheres with a popcorn structure on a silicate basis. TRI-SPHERES® serve as functional lightweight fillers. Their heat resistance is up to 1,500 °C. Their compressive strength ends at 3,260 PSI / 22.5 Mpa. With a view to any shear forces occurring during the incorporation, their multi-cellular structure avoids that all spheres are destroyed at high forces. TRI-SPHERES® are marked by a clear bright colour.
Application
TRI-SPHERES® can be used as lightweight fillers in many different applications such as paints and coatings, foams in composites as well as in hydraulic-setting cement for construction chemistry (TRI-SPHERES® 120 XL). With a view to the optimisation of acoustic and thermal properties, TRI-SPHERES® 270, 300 and 352 are recommended. In particular the fine TRI-SPHERES® 45XS Ultra achieves good results in partial weight reduction of PP polymer for injection mouldingwhen adding 10 – 15 % as an additive for the last step.

tri-spheres©.pdfCenospheres OMEGA-SPHERES®
Hollow ceramic microspheres are extremely resistant hollow spheres, which are formed under the exposure of extreme heat. Temperatures over the relevant melting points are required to achieve a ceramic melting. Drops with a hollow are formed as a result of the subsequent rapid cooling process. The OMEGA-SPHERES® formed in this way are refined and fractionated in subsequent processes, thus being a high-quality raw material in your formulations.
The spheres we provide are produced at various production sites for global availability. Globally produced standard types are manufactured in the Ukraine and Germany. Special types are produced in Germany. There are further suppliers in Europe and throughout the world.

OMEGA-SIL®
Description
OMEGA-SIL® are solid aluminium silicate spheres which have a very high compressive strength. The OMEGA-SIL® SPECIAL* product range consists of aluminium silicates that are processed in an additional processing step sifted.

LUVOMAXX® Silanes – Broad Portfolio of Multi-functional Agents for Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants, as well as, Building and Construction Materials
LUVOMAXX® silanes are functional organosilanes that are broadly applicable as adhesion promotors to a broad range of different polymers and resin technologies in order to improve wet and dry adhesion on multiple (inorganic) substrates, in particularly those, that offer OH-functional surfaces. LUVOMAXX® silanes do not only interact at the interface polymer/substrate but are also used as coupling agents to improve the reinforcement of fillers within polymeric matrices by the formation of covalent linkages between the polymer system and OH-functional fillers.
Additionally, LUVOMAXX® silanes are typically applied as moisture-catalyzed crosslinkers in (reactive) coating, adhesive, and sealant systems, particularly those based on polyurethanes, silicones, and MS polymers in order to improve mechanical and chemical properties such as increased tensile strength, advanced elastic modulus, improved scratch, abrasion, and notch impact resistance, as well as, better resistance to organic solvents, heat, or UV rays. Due to its selective reactivity, LUVOMAXX silanes (particularly amino-functional ones) can be also used to endcap amino-reactive polymers, e.g. isocyanate pre-polymers or epoxy-based polymers.
Furthermore, LUVOMAXX® silanes are used as hydrophobing agents in order to achieve mass hydrophobing and water-proofing, water repellency, as well as, improved moisture and corrosion resistance in building and construction materials or as water-scavenger and drying agent in moisture-sensitive and moisture-cured formulations such as hybrid systems based on silan-terminated polymers.
Product overview:
| Products | Description | Application |
|---|---|---|
| LUVOMAXX® OCTASIL | Triethoxy-n-octylsilane | LUVOMAXX® OCTASIL is used as hydrophobing agent and surface modifier for a variety of inorganic surfaces such as glass, glass fibres, mineral wool, silica, clay, mica, ATH and other hydroxides. Furthermore, LUVOMAXX® OCTASIL is applied as adhesion promoter and coupling agent that can physically interact via its non-polar alkyl chains with corresponding polymers in order to improve the reinforcement of fillers within the polymeric matrices. |
| LUVOMAXX® VINYLOSIL T102 | Triethoxyvinylsilane | Due to its pronounced tendency to hydrolyze rapidly, LUVOMAXX® VINYLOSIL T102 is used as water-scavenging and drying agent in moisture-sensitive and moisture-cured formulations such as hybrid systems based on silan-terminated polymers in order to improve the storage stability and to prevent the systems from undesired curing. |
| LUVOMAXX® VINYLOSIL T103 | Trimethoxyvinylsilane | Due to its pronounced tendency to hydrolyze rapidly, LUVOMAXX® VINYLOSIL T103 is used as water-scavenging and drying agent in moisture-sensitive and moisture-cured formulations such as hybrid systems based on silan-terminated polymers in order to improve the storage stability and to prevent the systems from undesired curing. |
