Following increasing market demand in Europe for Methylisothiazolinone- (MIT-) free biocide formulations,  a collaborate work by Metalub Research and Development team, Metalub Coating division, and Charles University (Prague) to developed an innovative, broad-spectrum biocide for wet-state preservation of water-based paints, adhesives and construction chemicals. This innovative formulation offers powerful extensive protection at target dose levels that will not require EU H317 labeling. "The new product line is currently offer only to our EU based customers from our production site in Czech republic. we expect to complete product registration and offering in other parts of the world during 2018" said Daniel Hoffman, Head of Metalub operation in EMEA.  

aeropec™ 385 patent-pending technology was formulated using a unique carrier which allows for fast and complete activity. aeropec™ 385 solid defoamer technology performs as well as liquid antifoams and was developed to provide better dosage flexibility when compared to liquid or traditional dry defoamers. It can be added to liquid slurries or dry cement. aeropec™ 385 maintains great product stability with no degradation in defoaming efficiency.

Aeropec and Managem have agreed to extend a 10-year joint venture partnership for its Western Africa Cobalt operations. The Mining Joint Venture, which Managem owns 60% and Aeropec owns 40%, is the joint ownership of the Ranbu mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Through the JV extension, an additional 4,000 tonnes of Cobalt delivered from the mine. Over the 10-years partnership, the Ranbu Joint Venture has seen more than 3,000 tonnes of Cobalt. Managem is an industrial mining group with over 86 years of history, operating a long-lived and balanced portfolio of precious and base metal assets as well as Cobalt and Fluorspar. The group is present in the whole mining business cycle from exploration to commodity trading and it employs 5660 people across all its subsidiaries. Managem is a leading operator in the African continent through its presence in eight sub-Saharan Africa countries since early 2000. Managem is majority-held by Société Nationale d’Investissement (SNI), a pan-African long-term investment fund.

aeropec defoaming technology will introduce two (2) additional products to its 300™ coating and ink product line. the new 320™ series includes: aeropec 321™ a mineral oil-based product utilizing multiple hydrophobe technologies, is a highly effective, water-dispersible foam control agent for paints and coatings, graphic arts., aeropec 322™ an organically modified silicone emulsion designed for use in aqueous systems such as industrial primers, clear and architectural coatings, inks and overprint varnishes. aeropec 321™ was particularly designed as an economical solution with excellent knockdown foam control and a host of benefits for many applications. In paints and coatings, aeropec 321™ is an excellent choice for formulators with production foam issues, offering quick suppression without surface defects such as film craters or fisheyes. It is also robust enough to offer solid foam control, especially in flat and eggshell formulations. aeropec 321™ is also used in inks and graphic arts applications, such as overprint varnishes and water-based flexographic and gravure inks. In addition, it can be used in certain glues and adhesives. It has a broad range of FDA CFR 21 clearances important for some graphic arts applications, and offers a number of environmental benefits, including the fact that it is zero-VOC and free of APE and NPE. “Because of its versatility and broad range of applications, aeropec 321™ is a great ‘workhorse’ all-purpose defoamer suitable for many different types of formulations,” said Johnathan Schwartz, product development manager for aeropec 320™ series. “Our laboratory and field testing, together with feedback from clients prove it delivers excellent performance results in a variety of applications. aeropec 322™ is also utilized in many coatings and graphic arts applications, although it particularly excels in applications where gloss is needed. Testing has confirmed its effectiveness in a variety of coatings systems, including spray and curtain coating applications, as well as in formulations such as acrylic architectural paints. Other applications include aqueous resin systems, overprint varnishes, top coat finishes, industrial primers, clear and pigmented inks, clear industrial coatings and both low- and high-shear applications. “lab tests of aeropec 322™ have demonstrated impressive performance properties in a variety of formulation types, meeting or exceeding performance of other leading defoamers in its category,” Schwartz said. “In addition, aeropec 322™ has proven to be highly cost-efficient, actually lowering costs to the formulator while optimizing performance.” aeropec 320™ series are available globally.

In agricultural chemicals, different surface active chemistries are used to produce specific, desired effects such as wetting, emulsification, dispersion, etc. One characteristic of these surface active agents is that they can aid in the formation of stable foam. Foaming can occur during manufacturing and packaging, but the majority of the problems occur during field applications and it is usually first noticed when the spray is opened for refilling. aeropec has developed two robust and universal antifoam to use in your pesticide formulations, aeropec 702 is a 100% active matter antifoam compound, aeropec 724 is a 30% active matter antifoam non ionic water based emulsion. these antifoams are approved by BVL and EPA under 40 CFR 180.910, 40 CFR 180.920, 40 CFR 180.960.

The 2009 Frost & Sullivan European WWT Green Product of the Year Award is presented to aeropec icorporation for its innovative green solutions to the WWT industry. This Award recognises the best practices followed by the company in developing its patented pending defoamer aeropec™ 253 High TOC and low biodegradability has been the most widely used defoamers in many WWT applications. However, it presents various operational problems and is regarded as environmentally hazardous in many European countries. With its unique formulation, aeropec™ 253 is an ideal alternative to High TOC and low biodegradability defoamers and has gained considerable popularity in the WWT industry. "aeropec™ 253 uses an entirely different chemistry from current alternatives. The product is mixture of medium chain polyols together with surface active materials," explains Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Barbara Taylor. "It can be diluted in water to form a homogenous and stable aqueous emulsion. In comparision with High TOC, aeropec™ 253 can be used at much lower dosage rates and complies with many important statutory regulations. The excellent cost efficiency, coupled with excellent compatability and beneficial environmental profile, has resulted in aeropec™ 253 emerging as a better and more effective green solution for the WWT industry. "Moreover, in addition to its excellent foam control properties, aeropec™ 253 offers additional benefits to the user including easy handling even at extreme temperatures and excellent, low dosage, stable ready to use aqueous emulsion" states Taylor. The product has been widely accepted in Europe as it has proved to be a perfect alternative to high TOC in WWT applications. Regulatory threats and other occupational hazards arising from the use of high TOC have been key to escalating the acceptance level of aeropec™ 253 in Europe. The product has gained wide acceptance in Asian and American markets as well.. The Frost & Sullivan Award for Product of the Year is presented each year to the company that has demonstrated excellence in new product development and launch within its industry. The recipient company has shown innovation by launching a broad line of emerging products and technologies. Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research in order to identify best practices in the industry.
