What we do

Sustainable binders
SharkDispersions™ is a range of high performance, sustainable and odorless based binders optimized for architectural and industrial coatings. We can deliver binders that meet today’s environmental standards and beyond.

Optimize your coatings
Our dispersions enhance coatings by boosting toughness, color fastness, flexibility, and elongation with an extremely resistant, soft yet strong film for excellent exterior durability without blocking problems.

Wide applications range
SharkDispersions™ are designed for single use as binder in your (indoor) paint formulations; but can also be used as additive replacing only a certain part of your existing binder. In most cases, you can save part of (or all of) the film forming agents (coalescing agents or solvents), when SharkDispersions™ are used, which allows for zero VOC content! We provide starting point formulations to get you well started with your new sustainable paint formulation.

SharkDispersions™ can also be used for primers on gypsum board, fabrics, concrete and both interior and exterior masonry. They can be used to create washable, greaseproof coatings for products like packaging, wallpaper, and window blinds to increase durability.

SharkDispersions™ can be mixed with a variety of emulsions and water dispersible resins due to excellent compatibility. Examples are:

• Pure Acrylic emulsions
• Styrene-Acrylic emulsions
• VA-Acrylic emulsions
• VA-Ethylene emulsions
• VA (homo-polymer) emulsions
• Alkyd emulsions
• Graphted Alkyd emulsions
• PU dispersions
• Water Borne Epoxies

Case

Shark Solutions and ID Paris enters collaborative partnership to make Europe’s first non-toxic sustainable wall paint

How are SharkDispersions™ so sustainable & non-toxic?

Unique process
We have developed a unique, patented process for extracting PVB from waste laminate glass.

Unique raw material
PVB is a non-toxic, sustainable, recyclable and price-competitive alternative to common paint binders like Acrylics, Styrene Acrylics, Vinyl Acrylics, Alkyds, PU and other virgin raw materials.

Unique expertise
Our team of chemical engineers have years of experience in developing sustainable, non-toxic paints and coatings – which can be developed in partnership with our customers’ unique needs.
