Hardness and scratch resistance for coatings

ICL Innovation, a technology incubator for the ICL group, seeks a novel, cost effective additive to improve hardness and scratch/mar resistance in coatings.

Our criteria

An additive to be supplied to the paints and coatings industry
Cost effective
Minimal loading to the paint/coating formulation
Minimal effect on other attributes of the paint formulation
Safe to handle and use as an additive

Background

As a leading manufacturer of phosphates, phosphoric acid and specialties, ICL Performance Products is committed to innovative research spanning diverse applications. Advanced Additives, a business unit in ICL PP is currently expanding into two major markets: Paint and Coatings, and Asphalt.

Our research and development laboratories in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Australia are staffed with industry experts and state of the art analytical and application equipment. Utilizing R&D best practices we have developed many patented technologies, proprietary products/processes and new applications. We are dedicated to a culture of learning and keep abreast of market and research trends via customer partnerships, academic collaboration and industry trade association participation.

We Offer:

Full funding for selected technologies
Analytical laboratories, pilot facilities and high level R&D teams based on ICL's central R&D institute and the various advanced additives R&D labs
The Advanced Additives business in ICL Performance Products as an industrial commercialization partner

IP Collaboration

Funded research
Exclusive IP licensing
Joint development

The proposal would need to clearly describe the technical concept (chemical approach, structure if IP protected) and proof of concept results, if available. Information on ICL's current product line can be found in the ICL PP web page.

As a technology incubator, ICL Innovation is looking only for innovative technologies that may be further developed and commercialized through a business unit in ICL.
