Products is the North American distributor for COIM's Laripur thermoplastic polyurethane. The line covers the full hardness spectrum from Shore A 66 to Shore D 77 in three soft-segment chemistries: polyester (abrasion, mechanical strength, oil and fuel resistance), polyether (hydrolysis resistance, low-temperature flexibility, microbial resistance), and caprolactone (polyester mechanicals with improved hydrolysis resistance). Applications: hydraulic and pneumatic seals, extruded hose and tube, film and sheet, footwear components, wire and cable jacketing, belting, rollers and wear parts, and compounding. Stocked in North American warehouses; samples typically ship the same business day. Cross-references to commonly specified TPU grades are available on request. TDS and SDS for every grade; food-contact (FDA 21 CFR 177.2600), RoHS, and REACH statements for select grades on request. **Technipol filter adhesives** — copolyester (Technipol) and copolyamide (Technipol PA) hot-melt adhesives by Sipol S.p.A. for filter manufacturing: pleat stabilization, edge sealing, and element closing in engine air filters; pleat joining and metal-free "eco" end caps in oil filter elements (hot oil 140-155°C at 4-6 bar per ISO 4548-6); wound-media bonding in diesel fuel filters (90°C/168 h ageing). Copolyester grades are foamable; copolyamide grades reach bio-based content up to 80% from non-edible agricultural feedstocks. Automotive compliance: IMDS, GADSL, REACH, RoHS. Applied by extruder, tank unit, or spray. **Sipolprene TPC-ET** — thermoplastic copolyester elastomers by Sipol S.p.A. of Mortara, Italy. Sixteen standard grades spanning Shore D 28 to 72: elastomeric grades (Shore D 28-45, rubber-like flexibility, low-temperature performance to -60°C) and plastomeric grades (Shore D 46-72, engineering-plastic stiffness). Compared to TPU, TPC-ET offers higher continuous-service temperature, better compression set under sustained load, and better creep resistance. Specialty grades include fast-cycle injection molding grades and the Sipolprene 35150 PVC modifier. Cross-references to Hytrel and Arnitel available for most standard grades. ## Plasticizers **ProFlex sulfonamide plasticizers** — o/p-toluenesulfonamide and benzenesulfonamide plasticizers for polyamide, hot-melt and PVAc adhesives, printing inks, and amino, epoxy, and polyurethane resin systems. Low-migration, permanent flexibility. **Citriflex 84** — acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC), a non-phthalate, bio-based plasticizer for cellulosics, food-contact PVC, inks, and adhesives. From US stock. ## Corrosion inhibitors (water treatment) Benzotriazole (BTA) and tolyltriazole (TTA) for yellow-metal corrosion control in cooling water, metalworking fluids, and VCI packaging, plus MBT. Solid and liquid grades from North American stock. The azoles form a copper-azole passivation film on copper and brass surfaces. ## Calcium stearate and metal stearates Low-ash calcium stearate (CAS 1592-23-0) for PVC heat stabilization and lubrication, polyolefins, construction water repellency, paper coating, rubber release, and grease thickening. Zinc and other metal stearates also supplied. US stock, ships next business day. ## Coatings additives PFAS-free polymethylurea slip and matting additives that replace PTFE micronized wax (Deuteron), Trapylen chlorinated-polyolefin adhesion promoters for PP, PE, and TPO substrates (Tramaco), and ROWA Lack topcoat lacquer systems for coated technical textiles and plastic films. **ROWA Lack coated-textile lacquers** — finished topcoat systems in three chemistries: ROWAKRYL acrylic (truck covers, awnings, halls and tents, backlit and frontlit print media, PVC roofing membrane, pool liners, and the base of the two-component anti-graffiti systems), ROWATHAL polyurethane (PVC synthetic leather and automotive interior foils; mar resistance, matt finish, anti-squeak), and ROWAFLON PVDF fluoropolymer (architectural and tensile membrane, as UV protection primers using titanium dioxide or zinc oxide plus matching topcoats, filtering more than 80 percent of solar UV while holding visible transmission above 70 percent). ROWANYL gloss topcoats are applied on release paper for transfer coating of PVC synthetic leather; ROWASET covers the crosslinkers and surface additives. Solventborne and waterborne (W suffix), one-component and two-component, SVHC-free. Key requirements this class of lacquer addresses on PVC-coated fabric: weather and UV resistance, minimizing plasticizer migration, soil resistance and cleanability, and remaining suitable for high-frequency welding. Stocked in North America. P.A.T. Products will coat a trial panel on the customer's own fabric or film so gloss, hand, and appearance are judged on the real substrate. ## Pigments and color Custom-matched liquid color dispersions for cast polyurethane and liquid resin systems, matched and produced in-house in the United States, plus masterbatch for TPU and thermoplastics. Matches to PANTONE, RAL, and Federal Standard references. Berry Amendment statements available on request for defense and footwear programs. PATstat 313 is P.A.T. Products' own liquid antistatic additive for vinyl and resilient flooring. ## Surfactants, phenolics, and fiber sizing Lankem industrial surfactants and dispersants (LANSURF, KEMSURF, LANSPERSE, and the BioLoop bio-based line) for oilfield, agrochemical, coatings, cleaning, and emulsion polymerization.

[Standard color palettes for epoxy system houses](https://www.patproducts.com/news/epoxy-system-house-color-palette): How an epoxy system house puts a standard color palette in front of its own customers without making the color: what sits in the palette (a black, a white and a grey range running light to dark, with custom shades matched behind it), why the white carries the loading in a pale shade, custom matching into the customer's own epoxy system against a delta E 1.0 CIELAB D65/10 specification, one phthalate-free terephthalate carrier across epoxy, cast polyurethane and plastisol so a house running more than one system holds one color target and one supplier, pack sizes from a 5 kg pail to a tote with no minimum order, the Tg and chemical-resistance guardrail, and the certificate, data sheets and Berry Amendment, REACH, RoHS and Proposition 65 documentation that ship with the color. -

Products liquid color catalog PAT blends liquid pigment dispersions at its own plant in Hermon, Maine, as an authorized REPI formulator. The product is a custom match, so these pages are organized by the SYSTEM the color goes into rather than by shade: the carrier belongs to the chemistry, and a dispersion built for one system is usually wrong in another. Tolerance is ΔE 1.0 or better, measured CIELAB against the approved standard on a spectrophotometer at D65 illuminant and a 10 degree observer, with the reading on the certificate of analysis for every batch. Most matches come back in about a week. The match and the sample are free and there is no minimum order to trial one. Made in the United States and Berry Amendment, REACH, RoHS and California Proposition 65 compliant. - [P.A.T. Products liquid color](https://www.patproducts.com/catalog/pat-color/): Custom-matched liquid pigment dispersions for cast urethane, plastisol, polyurethane foam, spray polyurethane, TPU masterbatch and epoxy. Blended in Hermon, Maine to a ΔE 1.0 tolerance. - [Liquid color for plastisol](https://www.patproducts.com/catalog/pat-color/plastisol): Pigment dispersion in a phthalate-free plasticizer carrier for plastisol, dip molding, rotocast and flexible PVC. Let-down about 2 percent, a 50 to 1 ratio. Stirs in at room temperature with no high-shear step, because the carrier is already an ingredient of the compound. The system matched most often at this plant. - [Liquid color for cast urethane](https://www.patproducts.com/catalog/pat-color/cast-urethane): Low-viscosity pigment dispersion for cast polyurethane, in a phthalate-free plasticizer carrier or a polyether polyol carrier formulated to the system hydroxyl number. Typical addition 1 to 2 percent, up to 4 percent for a deep shade. Third-stream metering or mass coloration on the polyol side. UV absorber and HALS available in the carrier. - [Liquid color for polyurethane foam](https://www.patproducts.com/catalog/pat-color/flexible-and-integral-skin-foam): Pigment dispersion in a polyether polyol carrier metered on the polyol side, for flexible and integral-skin foam. The carrier joins the reaction and consumes isocyanate, so it is formulated to the hydroxyl number of the system and the index is accounted for. - [Liquid color for spray polyurethane](https://www.patproducts.com/catalog/pat-color/spray-polyurethane): Pigment dispersion in a polyether polyol carrier, metered into the resin side of a plural-component set. Every spray polyurethane match run at this plant has used a polyol carrier and none has used a plasticizer carrier. Bedliners, tank and pipe linings, MUTCD traffic colors and the APWA underground utility set. - [TPU and thermoplastic masterbatch](https://www.patproducts.com/catalog/pat-color/tpu-masterbatch): Pelletized pigment concentrate on a carrier resin selected for the polymer being colored, for extrusion, injection molding and compounding. The same shade is held across masterbatch and liquid dispersion. Berry Amendment compliant for military and government footwear work. - [Liquid color for epoxy and polyurea](https://www.patproducts.com/catalog/pat-color/epoxy-and-polyurea): Pigment dispersion with the carrier selected for the side of the system it meters into, for epoxy flooring and casting, polyurea coatings, unsaturated polyester, gelcoat and cultured marble. Matched into a customer-supplied system on request. Settle which side the color goes in before the trial: sampling the wrong carrier into an epoxy is the common way one of these fails. - [Pantone and RAL shade reference](https://www.patproducts.com/products/color-shade-reference): Every Pantone and RAL code matched at PAT's Hermon, Maine plant, 173 in total across the Pantone solid coated and uncoated books, the Pantone TPX textile book and RAL Classic. Also covers Federal Standard 595 (continuing as AMS-STD-595 since the 2017 cancellation), the MUTCD traffic control colors, the APWA uniform underground utility color code and AR 670-1. These are codes matched, not stock: a code that is not listed is matched the same way. Just over half the standards received are a physical part or wet sample instead of a code.
