American Coatings Show

American Coatings Show

Indianapolis, USA
Start: 05 May, 2026
/ End: 07 May, 2026

The American Coatings Conference 2026 will take place from May 5 to 7, 2026, in Indianapolis, USA, and is one of the most important events for the coatings industry in North America. The conference brings together industry leaders, researchers, and formulators to discuss current and emerging technologies, sustainability challenges, and high‑performance solutions across the coatings value chain.
Indovinya will participate with a technical lecture, presenting its coatings portfolio and reinforcing its position as a technology‑driven partner for sustainable and high‑performance solutions. The presentation, titled “Using Simulation Tools to Develop PFAS‑free Surfactants for Coatings,” will be delivered by Bruno Dario, TS&D Researcher at Indovinya, during Session 02: PFAS Alternatives on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, from 4:30 PM to 5:00 PM. Through this contribution, Indovinya will strengthen relationships with customers and formulators while actively supporting the industry’s transition toward PFAS‑free technologies.

Plant-based hydrotropes

What was the challenge?

Hydrotropes are essential ingredients to ensure the stability of cleaning formulations, prevent the separation of components, and maintain effectiveness over time. Recognizing their importance and the potential for advancement in this field, we saw an opportunity to innovate with a plant-based alternative, combining high performance with environmental responsibility, and a focus on well-being.

Our solution

Drawing on decades of expertise in applied chemistry, Indovinya developed SURFONIC® H-1040, an anionic hydrotrope with more than 80% plant-based origin, free of phosphates, aromatics, and BTEX. 

In addition to being biodegradable and safe, it delivers superior performance, requiring only 1/3 to 1/4 of the dosage of SXS to stabilize formulations. Its liquid format makes it easy to handle and reduces energy consumption in the manufacturing process.

Results

  • Three to four times higher hydrotropic performance compared to SXS
  • Up to 66% reduction in carbon footprint, according to LCA (Life Cycle Analysis) studies
  • Versatile application across different categories of water-based cleaning products (laundry, dishwashing, multipurpose cleaners, and degreasers)
  • Safe replacement for synthetic hydrotropes with a more efficient and sustainable alternative
  • Supports innovation in cleaner formulations, offering an improved toxicological and environmental profile
