Highlander is pleased to announce a new representation for systems used in-plant dispensing of liquids. Novaflow Systems, a Canadian company, has expertise in designing in-plant systems, as well as offering a line of prepackaged systems. |
| February 15, 2011 |
Most modern plants have some form of auto-dispensing of liquid phases these days. For example the
simplest use might be measuring a combination of driers, anti-skin, flatting agents, etc in a premeasured
lot for addition to the batch at one time. These expensive products are often mis-weighed, costing money
and time.
Another use might be for combining tint bases and colorants in small or large quantities.
Whatever your requirements, Novaflow can provide from medium accuracy, down to very very precise
accuracies, controlled by specialized valves and load cells. Small volumes, or large volumes, Novaflow
can provide the correct system. Please ask us for further information as it pertains to your particular
situation.

for easy incorporation and long-term pH stability in all types of latex, emulsion, and water reducible paints and
coating. It was designed to replace ammonium hydroxide and other organoamine pH neutralizers. Significant odor reduction
of the final paint formulation is typically achieved through the use of pHLEX 110 neutralizing agent, particularly when
used in place of ammonium hydroxide.

a VOC content of 54%, and will often reduce the VOC of waterborne coatings compared to other organoamines. In addition,
pHLEX 110 neutralizing agent was designed with a significantly lower product odor to minimize amine odor in handling
and manufacturing areas.
