Americhem Inc, a global provider of colour and additive solutions for synthetic fibres, will present its core technologies for its line of colour, UV stabilisation and additive masterbatches for nonwovens housewrap producers at the International Engineered Fabrics Conference and Expo (IDEA 2016), May 3–5, 2016, at Boston.

“For decades, Americhem has been at the forefront of UV stabilisation technology, culminating with the introduction of our nDuramax brand of high-performance UV stabilisers in 2009. In this era where the importance of branding is paramount, our products for housewrap combine industry-leading, differentiating color with the UV stability necessary for outdoor construction projects,” said Vaman G Kulkarni, technical development director for Americhem.

In an industry dominated by white housewrap products, Americhem colour offers product differentiation capable of making customers’ products stand out from the crowd. Americhem’s trademarks of lot-to-lot consistency, unparalleled dispersion quality and best-in-class raw materials, when combined with nDuramax stabilisers, give housewrap excellent durability on the worksite.

“As one of the largest producers of outdoor masterbatches in the world, Americhem leverages our nDuramax technology in a multitude of industries and end uses including vinyl siding, composite decking, synthetic turf, awning fabrics and many more. Our products for housewrap are a natural extension of that knowledge,” continued Kulkarni.

Customers shall also have the access to extensive weathering testing capabilities in Americhem’s outdoor and accelerated weathering labs. (NA)
