Innovative Raw Materials for Paints and Coatings: Cominder’s Proposal

The new demands of the paints and coatings market require innovative raw materials for paints and coatings capable of ensuring high performance, sustainability, and supply continuity. Cominder, with long-standing experience in the distribution of minerals, chemicals, and specialties for industry, positions itself as a strategic partner for companies operating in highly competitive sectors.

Research and innovation serving the industry

The search for innovative solutions is one of the pillars of Cominder’s activity. The focus is on products that improve formulation quality, reduce environmental impact, and deliver reliable performance even under challenging application conditions.

In recent years, the paint sector has seen strong momentum towards sustainability, with the development of bio-attributed acrylic dispersions. These raw materials provide water resistance, colour durability, and ageing stability, offering a concrete alternative for those seeking more environmentally friendly solutions without compromising technical performance.

Solutions for water-based paints

In the segment of emulsion paints, rheological control is crucial for the final product quality. Thickeners, coalescents, defoamers, and mineral fillers must be carefully selected and balanced to achieve film uniformity, sag resistance, and optimal coverage.

The additives offered by Cominder help regulate viscosity, open time, and flow, improving application and reducing defects. The possibility of combining different grades and types of thickeners allows formulations to be customised according to season, substrate, and job site conditions, always ensuring optimal workability.

An often underestimated aspect concerns the compatibility of additives with the overall formulation package: coalescents, defoamers, pigments, and mineral fillers must work in synergy. For this reason, technical support is essential in selecting the most suitable grades, preventing undesired phenomena such as persistent foams, sedimentation, or poor film uniformity.

Raw materials for high-performance construction and coatings

In addition to wall paints, Cominder provides a wide range of innovative raw materials for paints and coatings used in plasters, adhesives, and special coatings. Polymers, mineral fillers, and hybrid solutions are employed to ensure mechanical strength, adhesion, and durability, even in highly demanding contexts.

Applications range from decorative coatings to technical plasters, from tile adhesives to waterproofing systems. In each of these areas, the quality of the raw material is crucial to meet the resistance and durability requirements demanded by the market. Cominder’s portfolio includes materials that guarantee elasticity, low dirt pick-up, and weather resistance—features increasingly required in construction.

Certified quality and technical support

Cominder operates with management systems compliant with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards, ensuring controlled processes and environmental responsibility. Consistent product quality and on-site technical support are two strengths that set the company apart.

The sales network and technical team support customers at every stage: from choosing the most suitable raw material to fine-tuning the final formulation. This approach helps reduce production variability, optimise process times, and respond quickly to new market needs.

The experience gained over years of activity and collaboration with international partners makes Cominder a reliable reference point for those seeking not just a supplier, but a partner able to provide customised solutions.
