Industrial, Marine and Protective Coatings
High performance bio-based
di-acids and polyols
There is an increasing pressure on environmental friendlier formulations in combination with higher performance requirements. Our technologies offer a combination of the two.
In industrial coatings applications like concrete flooring and direct-to-metal constructions, protective and long-lasting properties such as excellent chemical resistance and mechanical properties are required under sometimes tough conditions.
Automotive
High-performance bio-based di-acids and polyols
We develop innovative solutions both for stronger and more durable materials and to improved product processing time for the automotive industry.
Our sustainable and durable innovations protect the car and bring performance, processing and cost benefits for automotive exterior coatings.
Interior and Exterior Paints
Aesthetic meets application
Paints must be carefully formulated to meet an increasingly wide range of aesthetic, application and performance requirements.
Whether the goal is to reduce odor, improve drying times or modify other properties, Cargill offers a variety of bio-based solutions for water-based and solvent-based paint formulations.
Stains and Varnishes
Customized solutions
Stains and varnishes must perform a variety of functions to keep wooden substrates protected and beautified.
Cargill's expertise in bio-based oils and additives allows formulators to create customized solutions to meet the application and performance needs for each project.
Paper, Board and Packaging
Developing new paper and board solutions
Given the heightened environmental concerns around climate change and waste, the approach is shifting to a more circular economy. Meaning, there is not only greater connectivity between steps but requires organizations to think through how to address or incorporate the “waste” or product’s intended end of life state before they even manufacture the product.
We work with Paper and Board producers to develop new BiOH® Fusion coatings solutions compatible with established P&B recycling processes:
- Dispersion coating: water-based coating
- Extrusion coating: thin polymer layer
- Sealing and adhesion properties: bio-based compatibility
Flooring
Bio-based solutions for your floors
Through understanding the complexity and diversity of flooring applications, we can deliver cost effective and innovative solutions combining renewable resources and technical expertise.
With our comprehensive and reliable portfolio, we can deliver innovative solutions for challenging applications:
- Polyaspartics for fast return to service
