Formulate High Performance Coatings with the Orgasol® and Rilsan® D Range of Coating Additives
|
|
The Orgasol® and Rilsan® D products are high performance, multi-functional coating additives based on polyamide chemistry. Think of these materials as problem solvers for your waterborne, solventborne and UV coating formulations. The products provide benefits both in terms of coating performance and processability of the coating. |
Orgasol® is a range of high-performance ultra fine polyamid powders used as additives in coatings, inks, varnishes, and technical compounds.
Rilsan® D fine powders are a range of high performance polyamide powders manufactured from a 100% renewable resource (caster oil) and is used as an additive in coatings.

- Abrasion and Scratch ResistanceOrgasol® polyamide powders, provide a powerful combination of abrasion and scratch resistance and an improvement in product durability.
- Gloss ControlIn most formulations, Orgasol® powders provide matte-to-satin effects, without the drawbacks of increased in viscosity and a higher sensitivity to scratches and abrasion common to matting agents like silica. It also avoids haze, settlement, and guaranties mar resistance.
- Stain and Chemical ResistanceThe improved stain resistance of formulations containing an Orgasol® additive is due to the very low oil absorption of the polyamide chemistry.
- Texture ControlOrgasol® powders can also be used as texturing agent. Available in a range of particle sizes (from 5 to 60 microns), Orgasol® powders can impart textures from smooth to rough by modifying the ratio of particle size to coating thickness.
- LubricityOrgasol® powders can also be used as smoothing agent to help reduce the coefficient of friction and add lubricity to the final coating.
- Burnish ResistanceOrgasol® polyamide 12 powder offers a unique combination of properties, which makes it the additive of choice for the formulator when it comes to designing burnish-resistant coatings
Learn More About Flagship Applications
- Coil CoatingInclusion of Orgasol® products in coil coating formulatons improves the coating's durability. Orgasol® powder imparts the coating with a soft and regular texture and is an advantage in applications requiring very high abrasion resistance and flexibility while improving wear resistance.
- Can CoatingWhether your can is for the food, beverage, aerosol, closures, or a general segments the Orgasol® additives will improve flexibility, offer high abrasion and scratch resistance as well as high gloss.
- Floor CoatingOrgasol® powder is widely used in floor coatings to provide the desired texture and gloss, while maintaining the highest standards of abrasion and scratch resistance.
- Wood CoatingOrgasol® ultra-fine polyamide powders can be used in water or solvent-based and UV coatings or topcoats as multifunctional additives. Applications include furniture, flooring and joinery.
- Plastic CoatingOrgasol® powder is applied to plastic or steel parts used in automotive assemblies and electronic appliances to improve the durability and aestetics of the coating.
- Rubber CoatingsCoatings are applied to a wide variety of rubber items such as rubber gaskets for car windows, conveyor belts, latex gloves among others. Those need to increase the slipperliness of the rubber surface. Orgasol® powders are used to decrease the coefficient of friction (COF) between glass or metal pieces and coated substrates.
- Inks - Overprint VarnishOrgasol® powder, used at low level, is the best additive to achieve a combination of different ink and OPV properties:gloss level control, slip and lubricity, scratch and rub resistance, and texture.
- Inkjet Transfer PapersImproved print quality, easy transferability, and enhanced image durability are the three most important benefits obtained by incorporating Orgasol® polyamide additives in coatings for transfer paper coatings.
- CompositesOrgasol® powder can help avoid delamination in interlayered carbon fiber/epoxy composites and improve strength in structural adhesives.
- Laser SinteringOrgasol® Invent Smooth powder is used in LS to produce small and complex polyamide pieces. Due to its unique, patented polymerization process, Orgasol® Invent Smooth powder has outstanding viscosity stability and easily recycled.
- Metal Injection MoldingOrgasol® powder is a key polymer with a wide range of properties that improve the performance of metal injection molded and ceramic injection molded parts for the automotive, medical, electrical and electronic industries, including plastic magnets for electrical motors.
