Special Monomers

At Indovinya, we are committed to developing innovative Special Monomers that drive advancements in coating technology. Drawing on our team’s extensive technical expertise in coating solutions and backed by a robust production capacity, we continuously innovate to meet the dynamic demands of the coatings market.

The Special Monomers, comprising special polyols and functional monomers, play a crucial role in various coatings formulations. Their advanced technologies enhance coating systems by improving resistance, appearance, flexibility, and stability, among other key properties.

The ULTRATINT® Special Monomers line comprises functional molecules that can be used both as monomers for the synthesis of polyester, alkyd, polyurethane, epoxy resins, and directly in the formulation of industrial coatings. The line helps to fine-tune properties such as hardness, adhesion, and resistance for a high-performance coating.

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
