PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Axalta Coating Systems (NYSE: AXTA), a leading global supplier of liquid
and powder coatings, announces the introduction of the Voltahyd®
2250 series T, M and E electrical insulation coatings, the company’s
first waterborne impregnating resins available in China. This new series
of Energy Solutions products, whose waterborne formulation is designed
to be more environmentally responsible than conventional products, is
suited to a number of specialized applications.
Axalta scientists located at the company’s research center in Shanghai
have developed a product line that substantially reduces emissions of
volatile organic compounds typically associated with the impregnation of
transformers, motors and generator windings, as well as electronic
components. Risks from fire are reduced as a result of the waterborne
formulation and Voltahyd 2250E and 2250M are also formaldehyde-free.
Aside from significantly improved environmental, health and safety
properties compared to solvent based products, the Voltahyd products
offer superior bonding strength as well as good thermal and mechanical
properties.
“This new Voltahyd waterborne series in our portfolio enables us to
bring superior solutions to the electronic industry, giving our
customers a greater edge on their competition,” says Bryan Gu, Product
Manager of Axalta’s Energy Solutions business in China.
“Innovating with purpose is what drives us at Axalta,” adds Michael
Glomp, Global Vice President Energy Solutions & Business Director
Industrial Liquid China. “We will continue to provide solutions for
electrical insulation that meet the needs of our customers and can also
support environmental goals. Our new Voltahyd series reflects our
continuous commitment to sustainability.”
