Lorama Inc. products can and have been used in a number of new and innovative ways! For example:
Where foundry coatings for automotive aluminum casting are concerned, LPR76™ has been used in the mould coating formulation to help bind the sand and clay and fill in the cracks of the mould to ensure no imperfections are obtained in the resulting part. The coating is burned off due to the high heat of the cast but the LPR76 helps to regulate the cooling and have the part release effectively from the cast.
Lorama Polysaccharide Resin Technology (LPRT) will reduce the cost of solvent-based alkyd enamels, primers and stains while maintaining quality.
Lorama Polysaccharide Resin Technology is the following:
1. A system of incorporating a non-VOC (water) to replace VOC components by volume.
2. A methodology of formulating, and water emulsification techniques to achieve performance of conventional alkyd coatings and long term stability.
3. A technology in which knowledge and expertise are combined with innovation to meet the demands of local markets.
The resulting coating remains dilutable with mineral spirits, D40 and other aliphatic and aromatic solvents.
Lorama’s team of laboratory experts will help you formulate and implement the technology to give you maximum benefits in cost savings and performance. It is Lorama’s business and why Lorama is world renown for creating extraordinarily stable emulsions in enamels for decades.
In fact, Lorama Polysaccharide Resin Technology is the preferred VOC reductiontechnology for 2010 European VOC legislation compliance for solvent based decorative enamels. Manufacturers across the 27 European Union member states use Lorama technology, and Lorama polysaccharide technologies produce the performance local markets need at an affordable price.
LPR76™ is the core product of Lorama Polysaccharide Resin Technology (LPRT). It is a uniquely processed film forming polysaccharide resin. It is a coactive resin, which, will form a hydrogen bond with alkyd and stabilize water molecules within the enamel coating.
LPR76™ surrounds the dispersed water droplets impeding their attraction with each other, promoting steric stabilization of the water-in-oil emulsion. During water evaporation, LPR76™ prevents voids and pinholes from forming in the film, and works to maintain the film’s durability and performance.
The emulsion with LPR76™ has smaller average size water micelles, and more homogenous water micelle distribution.
Emulsion with LPR76™ has greater stability, and better film properties than the emulsion without.
