Americhem Products for Housewrap at IDEA 2016

 

CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio (April 12, 2016) Americhem Inc., a global provider of color and additive solutions for synthetic fibers, will feature its line of color and additive masterbatches for nonwovens housewrap producers at the IDEA 2016 International Engineered Fabrics Conference & Expo, May 3-5, 2016, at the Boston Convention and Exposition Center in Boston, Mass. These products capitalize on Americhem's core technologies of vibrant, consistent color, dispersion quality and UV stabilization.

"For decades, Americhem has been at the forefront of UV stabilization technology, culminating with the introduction of our nDuramax® brand of high-performance UV stabilizers in 2009," said Vaman G. Kulkarni, Ph.D., technical development director for Americhem. "In this era where the importance of branding is paramount, our products for housewrap combine industry-leading, differentiating color with the UV stability necessary for outdoor construction projects."

In an industry dominated by white housewrap products, Americhem color offers product differentiation capable of making customers' products stand out from the crowd. Americhem's hallmarks of lot-to-lot consistency, unparalleled dispersion quality and best-in-class raw materials, when combined with nDuramax stabilizers, give housewrap excellent durability on the worksite.

"As one of the largest producers of outdoor masterbatches in the world, Americhem leverages our nDuramax technology in a multitude of industries and end uses including vinyl siding, composite decking, synthetic turf, awning fabrics and many more," continued Kulkarni. "Our products for housewrap are a natural extension of that knowledge."

Customers also have access to extensive weathering testing capabilities in Americhem's outdoor and accelerated weathering labs. Interaction between pigments and UV stabilizers has been thoroughly tested to help customers make informed choices when it comes to housewrap colors. Masterbatches containing color, UV and other functionalities can be made as stand-alone products or as multi-attribute concentrates. All products are thoroughly tested to ensure housewrap moisture management features are maintained.
