“Family-owned specialty chemical distributor serving North American manufacturers since 1974. P.A.T. Products supplies TPU, thermoplastic elastomers, liquid pigments, coatings additives, food-grade gums, and specialty chemicals from leading European and global manufacturers.”
“Yes. Deuteron quaternary ammonium antistats for coatings, polyurethane and PVC, with LE 100 LV (carrier free) and LE 829 (in 1,4-butanediol, for polyurethane systems) from US stock, plus PATstat 313, the antistatic plasticizer P.A.T. Products makes for vinyl flooring. They reach the 10^5 to 10^9 ohm antistatic band at 0.2 to 5 percent.”
“Yes, and no. We stock Deuteron organic polymethylurea (PMU) matting agents in the US: MK, MK-F and MK-F6 in 10 kg bags and the MM 677 water dispersion in drums, with the finer grades, UV dispersions and compounds to order.”
“We distribute specialty chemicals and raw materials across several categories: shellac (Lemon #1 flake and high-flow grades), plasticizers (Citriflex citrates, ProFlex reactive plasticizers), TPU and elastomers through COIM (Laripur) and Sipol (Sipolprene TPC-ET), polyurethane dispersions and binders, tackifiers and rubber resins, calcium stearate, halogen-free flame retardants, quaternary ammonium compounds, liquid color dispersions through REPI, phenolic resins, and coconut-derived chemicals.”
“Yes. We match a Laripur grade by hardness, soft-segment chemistry, and processing profile, and cross-references to commonly specified TPU grades are available on request.”
“A physical standard, a drawdown or a molded part, or a PANTONE, RAL or Federal Standard 595 reference, plus the system it runs in (cast urethane, PU foam, epoxy, TPU) and the process. The match is read on a spectrophotometer and confirmed in that system before it ships.”
“Yes, on our own programs. P.A.T. Products has been a validated C-TPAT importer since 2007 and passed an FDA FSVP audit in 2024. Foreign producers without a North American entity sell into the United States, Canada and Mexico through us on that basis.”
“In warehouses in Texas, New Jersey and Illinois. Which one ships depends on the product and the destination. Samples of stocked grades ship the same business day.”
“Yes. Liquid blends to your specification, packed into drums, totes, pails or smaller containers, for one-time runs and ongoing production, with a certificate of analysis per lot.”
“By mechanism, no: it works by migrating to the surface and attracting a water film, and Deuteron classes its quats as non-permanent. In service the effect typically lasts for years because the volume of the coating or part keeps feeding the surface.”
“The antistatic band, 105 to 109 ohms (100 kilohm to 1 gigaohm) under EN ISO 20345, with antistatic footwear at 105 to 108 ohms under EN 61340-4-3 and ESD work at 105 to 3.5 x 107 ohms under EN 61340-5-1. A quat alone bottoms out at about 105 ohms.”
“Deuteron lists polyurethane castings among the applications for the LE family and supplies LE 829 in 1,4-butanediol for polyurethane systems, with a hydroxyl value of approximately 180 that goes into the stoichiometry.”
“Formulators who ran Catafor CA-100 ask us this. Both are quaternary ammonium antistats for polyurethane, which is why the question comes up.”
“It carries four jobs at once. It resists weather and UV, it slows the migration of plasticizer out of the PVC, it keeps the surface soil-resistant and easy to clean, and in most cases it has to stay weldable so the fabricator can seam the finished goods.”
“Acrylic topcoats are the volume choice for truck covers, awnings, halls and tents, banners and print media, and they form the base of two-component anti-graffiti systems. Polyurethane topcoats go on synthetic leather and automotive interior foils where mar resistance, matt finish, hand feel, and anti-squeak behavior matter.”
“In most of these applications the lacquer system has to be suitable for welding, and grades are formulated for it. Weldability varies by grade and by film weight, so it is confirmed on your own substrate and your own welding parameters during the trial. Tell us the welding method and the seam requirement at the sample stage.”
“Yes to both. These are made-to-order systems supplied from the German plant, so plan a first order against a trial and not against a shortage.”
