The broad-ranging chemical resistance of Diofan® coatings help protect the quality, appearance and performance of your valuable products.

Thanks to its unrivalled low moisture and water permeability, single coats or primers based on Diofan® dispersions exhibit outstanding corrosion resistance, even in the most severe environments.

Diofan® binders provide excellent early water resistance, with overall performance equivalent to that obtained from traditional high performance solvent based paint systems (salt spray performance > 1000 h). Diofan® helps in the formulation of highly technical, one-pack, water-based paints which are better for both health and the environment.

This low VOC dispersion (<100 ppm) allowing for the production of anticorrosion systems compliant with European and local regulations, notably those related to VOCs.

Blister packs perfectly protect each individual tablet or capsule and are considered as the best packaging for pharmaceuticals, in terms of safety, traceability, hygiene and product life. SolVin® PVC and Diofan® PVdC dispersions are the perfect raw materials: PVC/Diofan® PVDC or PVC/PE/Diofan® PVDC multilayer films are particularly suitable as reliable secure packaging solutions for drugs that are sensitive to moisture.

Rigid PVC films coated with Diofan® PVDC can also be used when excellent barrier qualities are required to prevent gas, odors, and water vapor from reaching the product inside the packs.

Biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films are widely used for the packaging of biscuits, confectionary, snacks, cereals, salads & fresh products, overwraps for tobacco and perfumes, petcare etc. which are very sensitive to humidity and oxygen. The sealability of BOPP films is obtained by coextrusion of different types of polypropylene. Sometimes, the sealing and the barrier properties are not sufficient to conveniently close the package and to give good protection to the food.

For these reasons, most of the BOPP film producers have developed Diofan® coated structures which give good sealing properties as well as enhanced water vapor or gas barrier. BOPP films coated with Diofan® on either one or both sides can be found in a variety of packaging applications.

Besides PVC and oriented polypropylen PET films are widely used in complexes for various packaging applications. Associated with PVDC, PET films are suitable as high performance barrier films used e.g. as lid for thermoformed trays to pack fresh food, also under modified atmosphere (MAP). Those film you'll find also in stand-up pouches and in transparent and printed packaging solutions to protect fatty products like baked food, chocolate, olives etc.. PVDC coated and laminated PET films can be pasteurized and used in the microwave.

Diofan® dispersions are the basic ingredient for effective corrosion protection systems in the metal converting industry and maintenance sector.

Diofan® based anticorrosive coating formulations enable cost efficient, reliable protection for automotive underbody and part coatings as well as for components in railway, agricultural, construction machinery and many other applications.

The building industry appreciates the unsurpassed humidity barrier for walls and floors of Diofan® containing coating and primer systems. Diofan® is the best water-borne liquid sealing membrane. This very low VOC dispersion is free of plasticizers and can be fully compliant with requirements for food grade paints. Ideally used as a one-pack primer on hygroscopic material, it gives outstanding protection against moisture. Diofan® primer coatings meet most demanding water-vapor barrier requirements according to ETAG 022 for liquid applied watertight covering for wet rooms with wearing surface.

Diofan^® coatings on paper and cardboard provide excellent gas and moisture barrier, heat sealability, fat and chemical resistance and anti-static performance. Suitable substrates include a broad range from uncoated kraft papers to high gloss clay coated papers (30 – 120 g/m²) to cardboard.
