allnex five pillars of the sustainability strategy
Safer Materials: The Foundation of Our Sustainable Portfolio
Building a truly sustainable product portfolio starts with safer materials. They are fundamental because they directly minimize environmental and human health hazards across the entire product lifecycle – from sourcing and manufacturing to consumer use and end-of-life.
Here are some examples of our safer solutions in action:
- Safer Packaging Coatings: BPA-NI (BPA Non-Intent) Polyester and crosslinker resins for food contact safety.Examples: Duroftal PE6619/40SNA (Polyester); Cymel 303LF (Amino); Phenodur PR521/60B, Phenodur PR 787/50MP (Phenolics)
- Reduced Exposure in Marine & Protective Coatings: Low/No Free Amine, Solvent-Free Water-Based Epoxy Hardeners. Example: Beckopox EH 2260 w/41WA
- Isocyanate-Free 2K Systems for Vehicle Refinish & Industrial Metal: Ambient cure resins and crosslinkers. Examples: ACURE™ AQ 620-100 – ACURE600; Cymel XW3106 (high solids melamine crosslinking agent designed for solvent-borne, two-pack ambient and low bake formulations).
- Low temperature curing in Coil & Pre-coated metal/Architectural. Example: CRYLCOAT 2679-6
- Outstanding durability and dirt pick up resistance in Decorative ( Exterior Trim coatings) and Industrial wood ( for Joinery). Example: SETAQUA 6799
