Novares Resins

Specialty Additives

Novares resins provide highly advantageous, performance-enhancing properties to the systems in which they are used. While they have been widely employed in Europe and America for many years, they remain insufficiently known in our country. Brands that recognize, understand and use these materials continue to create a clear differentiation. Our liquid hydrocarbon resins can be used in many different applications depending on their varying polymer structures. These specialty liquid resins that we supply to the paints and coatings sector provide the systems in which they are used with • Flexibility • Hydrophobicity • Corrosion resistance • Wetting properties They are also materials that will contribute to the VOC issue, which is receiving significant global attention even if it has not yet drawn much notice in Turkey. They possess very low or zero VOC values.

Top Coat in Epoxy Systems

Ultra Lite 2009 Cardolite UL 2009 is a specialty hardener that we recommend for top coats in epoxy systems, demonstrating superior chemical resistance and non-yellowing properties, and which is highly economical relative to its performance. UL 2009 exhibits rapid cure and excellent film properties even at very low temperatures and in high-humidity environments. Adhesion to concrete, primers and intermediate coats is excellent. This material has been produced primarily for floor top coats and self-leveling applications thanks to its mechanical strength, excellent hardness level, gloss and color stability properties.   Çiğdem Şarkoğlu General Manager Polikem Ltd.
