Coatings
We provide innovative specialty carbon and fumed silica additives that can improve the color, processing, applicability, strength and safety of your coating system.
Coatings are film-forming materials applied to substrates to enhance protection (chemical, corrosion), improve appearance (color, texture) and add functionality (conductivity, insulation). Coatings manufacturers want formulations that are safe, stable, and easy to process and apply.
Additives in Coatings
Additives are highly efficient substances added to a coating formulation in small quantities to enhance very specific coating properties.
Cabot Additives
We develop exceptional additives that can improve the color, processing, applicability, strength and safety of a wide range of coating formulations.
Applications
- Architectural coatings - Our carbon black products for architectural tinting, decorative tinting and masstone applications help achieve superb color performance with good processability.
- Automotive coatings - We work with global leaders in automotive coatings to provide carbon black and fumed silica additives for both water-based and solvent-based systems.
- Coil coatings - We offer a broad portfolio of fumed metal oxides and specialty carbons for coil coatings.
- Conductive coatings - Our broad portfolio of specialty carbons offers balance of color, conductivity and processability.
- General metal coatings - We provide fumed metal oxide products that enhance product durability and carbon black products that allow formulators to achieve a desired black color or tinting in industrial coating applications.
- Ink receptive coatings – Our fumed metal oxides are very efficient pre-coat additives for ink adsorption on a variety of substrates.
- Marine coatings - Our hydrophobic fumed silica products are particularly well-suited for marine applications.
- Wood coatings - Our fumed metal oxide products can improve the storage, application and finished properties of wood coatings that are used for a variety of purposes, including protection, beautification, water resistance and matting.
- Coatings systems - We develop specialty additives by understanding the formulation system used in various applications.
