Vecor Ceramics
for Paints, Coatings, Rubber, and Plastics
Vecor Ceramics (VC) are engineered aluminosilicates manufactured utilizing recycled materials. Different SKUs of VC have been developed to maximize their benefit in different industrial and end-use applications, improving performance and providing cost benefits in architectural paints, industrial coatings, rubber, and plastics.
Used in the proper formulations and proportions, VC offers material cost savings as well as improved resistance to abrasion, UV, fire, and a host of other attributes.
By using recycled rather than mined materials, VC produces significantly less CO2 compared to alternatives.
Made in the USA, VC mitigates supply chain risks associated with commonly used pigments and fillers, at prices that improve the bottom line for manufacturers and distributors.
Diverse Applications
Available in a range of SKUs tailored to specific needs, VC provides industries with the capacity to improve performance while reducing cost. Here’s how VC shines in different applications:
Architectural Paint:
VC supplements titanium dioxide and barium sulphate, enhancing the resistance of architectural paints to to abrasion, burnish, UV and other environmentally damaging effects.
Industrial Coatings:
In organic solvents, VC reduces the quantity of solvents required and improves coloration and performance
Traffic Paint:
VC enhances wear resistance and application costs in traffic paints.
Powder Coatings:
VC adds color and decorative effects with superior adhesion and durability in powder and coil coatings.
Rubber:
In rubber products, VC improves manufacturing throughput and product durability.
Coil Coatings:
When added to coil coatings, VC enhances protection against corrosion, UV degradation, and abrasion for lasting performance in harsh environments.
Plastics:
Added to PVC and other plastics, VC improved results in most strain and stress tests, reduced weight, and markedly improved Impact resistance.
