Ultra-Absorbent & Fast-Acting SAPs

Zappa-Stewart’s SAPs rapidly absorb and solidify liquids upon contact, retaining them securely even under pressure. These properties ensure fast and efficient waste management in industries like medical, environmental, and industrial remediation.

Managing Material Properties with Microspheres

As a formulation additive, microspheres offer far more than weight reduction. Microspheres offer thermal insulation, sound damping, and increased resistance to impacts and cracking. Controlling the microspheres per volume of material allows complete control over a formulation, ensuring your product is perfectly suited for your need.

Polyurethane-based Protection

Polyurethane waterborne dispersions (PUDs) are a type of water-based polymer dispersion made by combining polyurethane resins with water to create a stable dispersion that can be applied to a variety of substrates. These coatings offer specific protections based on composition, offering unique benefits that resist water, scratches or scuffs, UV and chemical exposure. Some coatings even include antiviral or antibacterial properties.
