DuPont Zonyl® Surface Protectors Protecting newly laid terrazzo kitchen tiles from water- and oil-based stains has long been a problem. The traditional way is to seal the surface which can alter the tiles appearance giving it a “wet-look” that is not to everyone’s taste. DuPont are the World Leader in fluorine chemistry and offer Zonyl® Surface Protectors a range of fluorinated acrylic copolymers for protecting building materials and do not alter the appearance of the materials surface. Zonyl® Surface Protectors impart:
The Zonyl®’s impart low surface energy to the surface by modifying the pore walls of the material with a very thin coating that provides excellent water and oil repellency. They also allow water to evaporate from the internal area so the treatment is “breathable” The main products in the range are
Please click here to request further information London to Brighton Charity Bike Ride 2007 The team comprised Mark Walker, Matthew Miles, Adam Jervis, Bob Burgess, Stephen Evans, Martin Radford, Trevor and Lucy Mathers and Sam Hedges. The morning began with everyone meeting in Maidenhead at 4.30am to catch the minibus and transit van driven by Sara Bergstedt, a customer of ours who was kindly persuaded to get up very early on a Sunday morning to help out, and Louise Mesens. The team arrived at the start line at 6.30am and began the 54 mile bike ride. After a fantastic effort (and I hear a few hot dogs!) the whole team finished by lunchtime and earned themselves a well deserved drink in the pub. DuPont ZonylŽ PTFE Fluoroadditives DuPont ZonylŽ PTFE Fluoroadditives are finely divided white powders of PTFE resin. They affect behaviour of many materials without reacting with them and their size and morphology makes them easy to incorporate into paints, inks and adhesives. ZonylŽ PTFE Fluoroadditives are high melting, hydrophobic and inert to nearly all solvents and chemicals. They dont discolour or degrade in sunlight or high temperature (-190 to +260 deg. C) and offer good lot-to-lot uniformity. Request more information by clicking here technical@alfa-chemicals.co.uk In inks ZonylŽ PTFE Fluoroadditives provide:
In coatings ZonylŽ PTFE Fluoroadditives impart:
ZonylŽ PTFE Fluoroadditives are different from TeflonŽ PTFE, which is used for moulding and extrusion, because they have:
The usage rate in Inks is 1-3% and in coatings 1-5% (although in a self-polishing, anti-fouling marine paint it can be up to 30%). The main ZonylŽ PTFE fluoroadditives grades are detailed below.

Request more information by clicking here technical@alfa-chemicals.co.uk New Reactivity JEFFAMINEŽ Polyetheramines JEFFAMINEŽ SD-2001 and JEFFAMINEŽ EDR-176 are recent developments of Huntsmans JEFFAMINEŽ Polyetheramines range. JEFFAMINEŽ EDR-176 is more reactive then the standard polyetheramines and IPDA which is particularly useful for epoxy curing at low temperatures and polyamide preparation. JEFFAMINEŽ SD-2001 is less reactive then standard polyetheramines making it useful as a chain extender in polyureas and polyurethanes for example. JEFFAMINEŽ EDR-176 Polyetheramine provides excellent mechanical properties and impact & thermal shock resistance to cured resins. In epoxy coatings and floor systems the JEFFAMINEŽ EDR-176 can be used for partial replacement of fast amine curatives e.g. TMD. It should be adducted to make it more useful in coatings because the adducts improve the curing performance at lower temperatures. Request more information by clicking here technical@alfa-chemicals.co.uk JEFFAMINEŽ SD-2001 contains secondary amine groups which provide slower reactions then primary amine groups. This is useful for chain extender properties required in polyurethanes and polyureas. JEFFAMINEŽ SD-2001 can also be used as a curing agent/cross-linker in aliphatic and aromatic polyurethane and polyurea for adhesive, coating and elastomer applications.
