Automotive Coatings
The automotive industry is constantly looking for exciting innovations for automotive coatings to help meet the demands of critical consumers with a growing environmental awareness. We develop innovative solutions both for stronger and more durable materials and to improve product processing time for the automotive industry.
Bio-based coatings
Our sustainable and durable innovations protect your car and bring performance, processing and cost benefits for automotive exterior coatings, such as:
- Stone chipping resistance provided by the intrinsic flexibility/toughening of our dimer technology
- Flip flop effect and color intensity improvement, thanks to our dispersant and pigment wetting effect of dimer-based raw materials
- Improved product processing time. For example, improved drying speed in water-based systems
- Reduced coating drying time, allowing for faster layer on layer application
Our ingredients create a soft touch feel for door handles, seating covers and protect electronic parts when applied in plastics used on the interior of cars.
Shorter drying times with Priplast™ F4
Increasing Priplast™ F4 polyol content in the high solids PU coatings formulation significantly decreases the drying time of the coating.
Pripol™ 1006
As a high difunctional dimer acid building block, Pripol™ 1006 allows the production of high molecular weight polymers, bringing excellent mechanical strength to polyester and polyamide coatings, adhesive, and elastomer formulations. Pripol™ 1006 is distilled and hydrogenated, and also provides good color and color stability in addition to water repellency, flexibility and thermo-oxidative stability.

Priplast™ F4
Priplast™ F4 provides the hardness of high functionality polyols combined with the proven flexibility of dimer-based technology. It can be used alone or as a co-polyol in PU resin applications, such as high solids 2K coatings, to enhance properties like chemical resistance and drying time.
Pripol™ 2030
Pripol™ 2030 is a 100% bio-based dimer diol building block with exceptional UV and thermo-oxidative stability. With a high concentration of difunctional components, Pripol™ 2030 allows the production of high Mw, linear polymers with superior mechanical properties, and brings high flexibility to polyurethane and polyester coatings, adhesives and elastomers, even at low temperatures. Pripol™ 2030 is an ISCC PLUS certified product which is truly bio-based. The vegetable oil bio-based content comes from sustainable ISCC certified sources (mass balance), supporting the sourcing of sustainable vegetable oil.
