Coatings
Coatings are formulated to provide a controlled combination of appearance, surface properties, protection, and durability. Lintech supplies resins, pigments, minerals, additives, crosslinking technologies, and other specialty raw materials used in decorative, industrial, protective, and specialty coating systems.
Why It Matters
Coating performance starts with the chemistry of the film
A coating forms a continuous layer on a substrate, and its composition influences how that film applies, cures, looks, and performs over time. Depending on the application, coatings may be designed to provide color and opacity, protect against moisture or corrosion, withstand weathering and chemicals, resist abrasion, or deliver specific gloss, texture, and surface characteristics.
Performance is influenced by the interaction of the coating’s components as well as the substrate, application method, cure conditions, and service environment. Formulators therefore consider properties such as film formation, adhesion, dispersion, rheology, cure response, color development, surface quality, and resistance to environmental exposure when designing a coating system.
Lintech supplies specialty raw materials across these areas, providing coatings manufacturers with access to a range of technologies from established suppliers for waterborne, solvent-borne, reactive, and other coating systems.
