Long Tradition and Extensive Experience in the Global Polyurethane Coating Industry. Advanced and high-performance products for wood, plastic and metal coating applications are the core of SAPICI offering. On these technologies the company has built its own reputation and credibility on the market worldwide, while expanding into new industries and applications. SAPICI has a large product range for coating applications on wood, metal, plastics and other surfaces. Ask us about our Polurene, Rexin and Ucopol families of products.

Innovation at SAPICI is a continuous process. Among SAPICI most recent achievements, our low freemonomer range of hardening products developed for wood coating applications. SAPICI has leveraged almost eighty years of continued investments and experience to develop the technology for the production of isocyanates characterized by a content of free monomer guaranteed as lower than 0.1 per cent. The SAPICI Polurgreen range provides the company’s customers and their own customers – e.g. the final users – with significant benefits in terms of respect and protection of their health, safety and the environment. By using the SAPICI Polurgreen range it is possible to produce safer varnishes, just replacing the isocyanates and without changes to either the formulations or production equipment.

In terms of labelling, SAPICI Polurgreen range makes it possible to downgrade from “danger” to just “warning” symbols, immediately proving and showing the significant lowering of the potential risk of the final products allowed by SAPICI’s R&D capabilities and achievements. The company has built in 2004 its own plant for the production of the Polurgreen range in San Cipriano Po (Pavia, IT), from where – in addition to its other plants in Italy and China – it serves its customers worldwide. Respecting the business and requests of its customers, SAPICI has decided to keep producing its traditional products ranges for coating too. Among them the Polurene and Rexin ranges, respectively the isocyanate and Rexin or oxidrilated Rexin components for the production of multipurpose varnishes. The Ucopol moisture curing polyurethanes are available both as ready-to-use and as prepolymers for industrial formulations. The Ucopol OL urethane oil and urtehane alkyd resins are obtained from renewable raw materials. The Ucoflex series are solvent-based elastomers for clear and pigmented paints for ABS, PVC, PUR, polystyrene and paper, showing good resistance to yellowing, abrasion and shock. Among SAPICI latest innovations, the Bluepur coalescent-free waterborne polyurethane dispersion for coating applications.

SAPICI offers a range of TDI and MDI based products ready to use or suitable for the formulation of industrial adhesives and sealants. The Polurene LP and LPI are appreciated solutions for numerous applications. SAPICI innovative solutions allow its customers to formulate R40 free products, and our Industrial Division helps our customers with customized R&D projects. SAPICI actively participates in the Adhesives and Sealants global business by proposing two main ranges of products: its Polurgreen LP and Polurgreen LPI ranges. The Polurene LP range includes TDI-based polymers containing blocked and curable isocyanic groups, characterized by very low viscosity, excellent to improve the flexibility of epoxy systems for adhesives, sealant and self-leveling flooring. They are also characterized by excellent rheology for application and ease of use for the production step. Again SAPICI shows the attention to product safety by offering the version NPF (Nonyl Phenol Free) to allow the formulation of products with low environmental impact and indoor pollution. The NPF formulated products are ADR free, too!

The Polurene LPI range comprises resins that can be utilized as 1K ready-to-use products or can be formulated like 2K systems for special sectors and applications, particularly in the building and construction segment. The Polurene LPI 34 NT is a D4 approved 1K adhesive for wood, recommended for finger joint bonding of outdoor furnitures. A very crystalline adhesive resistant to heatshock, it is highly resistant to acid and alkaline hydrolysis, and shows rapid curing. The Polurene LPI 1272 and LPI 2572 are solvent free MDI-based 1K PU adhesives recommended for sandwich panels for thermal and acoustic insulation. The Polurene IAX 3719 is a MDI-based 1K PU adhesive in ethyl acetate with excellent initial bond, recommended for PVC, expanded PU, and natural or synthetic fabrics.

PREPOLYMERS AND CASTING Innovative Polyurethane Prepolymers for the Most Demanding Applications. SAPICI commitment to the casting industry is strengthened by the continuous development of innovative solutions, like the new electroconductive and nano-technology based Polurcast EC series. The SAPICI Polurcast series are a wide range of innovative and very low free TDI content (till less than 0.1 per cent of free monomer) polyurethane prepolymers suitable for the most demanding applications. Among their characteristics the good hydrolysis and abrasion resistance, high elongation and tensile strength of the Polurcast polyether-TDI based series. The Polurcast PE series show higher compression modulus and higher tensile strength. The Polurcast PET series are polyester-TDI based, characterized by high solvent resistance combined with high ultimate tensile strength.

19

The New Electro-Conductive Series The new, highly innovative SAPICI Polurcast EC range − nano-technology based products developed by the company’s new R&D Laboratories in San Cipriano Po − is characterized by electrical conductivity values that make it ideal for applications where discharge of electrostatic charges is necessary along with elevated chemical and mechanical properties. Blended with curing amines, they allow for the production of high-performance electrically conductive PU elastomers. The SAPICI Polurcast EC prepolymers have been perfected for the production of such applications as wheels (for forklifts and other equipment), tires, rolls (including rolls for printing machines), gears, conductive sheets and other applications requiring high hardness elastomers. Most common applications are in the Chemical and Petrochemical, Paint and Lacquer and Automotive industries, as well as in contexts, areas and operations where the risk of fire or explosion has to be considered. SAPICI keeps expanding its highly innovative Polurcast EC range with new, high-performing products. As an example, an elastomeric material with final electrical volume resistance lower than 10.000 (104 Ω) can be obtained by using the SAPICI Polurcast PE 95A-01EC without impacting either the equipment or the process conditions typically used in the casting industry.
