Finma Eco-Line
Sustainable, bio-based matting agents and texturing agents
What does it mean for us
Sustainability
For us, sustainability means that at least 50%, and in the best case 100%, of coating additives are produced from renewable, biobased sources. These must not compete with food production. Furthermore, all Finma Eco-line products are not subject to labeling requirements and are free of preservatives wherever possible. In addition, the renewable portion of the products, as long as not in the final product, should be biodegradable.
Sustainable
Matting and texturing
n the development of the Finma Eco-line, sustainable products were identified that show comparable, or in some cases even better, performance compared to the standard products on the market.
The line includes powders for matting and structuring surface coatings. These include TECHNOCEL® powders from CFF GmbH & Co. KG and Techpolymer powders from Sekisui Kasei.
Micro-Cellulose
TECHNOCEL®
TECHNOCEL® powders consist of micronized cellulose fibers.
They exhibit high matting efficiency combined with good transparency and optimum settling stability in aqueous coating systems. With cellulose as the raw material base, all sustainability requirements are met. Outside of a coating system, TECHNOCEL® powders are biodegradable and are not declared as microplastics.
Bio-based acrylic
Techpolymer EFC
Polyacrylate beads
The new EFC series is the first to use monomers that allow a total renewable content of 50%.
Techpolymer EFC is preferably used when the highest demands on surface resistance and solvent resistance must be met in addition to contributing to matting.
