allnex’s Mass Balance SCA Wins 2025 Coatings Industry – Ringier Technology Innovation Award

5 27, 2025 Corporate Innovation
Pioneering Greener Sag Control Agent Technology Reduces Carbon Footprint by Up to 32%
 
allnex, the global leader in specialty coating resins, today announced that its Mass Balance Sag Control Agent (SCA) has been honored with the prestigious 2025 Coatings Industry – Ringier Technology Innovation Award, presented by Ringier Industry Media and its journal Coatings & Inks – China Edition. The award recognizes allnex’s breakthrough in sustainable SCA technology, which reduces the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) by 16% to 32%, addressing the automotive industry’s urgent demand for eco-friendly solutions.
 
The Mass Balance SCA replaces fossil-based raw materials with certified bio-based alternatives using a mass balance approach, maintaining high performance while significantly lowering environmental impact. Key innovations include:
 
  • SETAL® 90173 SS-50 BC – Reduces PCF by 23% compared to conventional SCA.
  • SETAL® 90173 SS-50 BC14 – Balances cost efficiency with carbon footprint reduction.
 
This achievement expands allnex’s Mass Balance portfolio, which already includes Opaque SCA and Transparent SCA solutions. The company continues to invest in R&D to advance sustainable SCA technologies tailored for automotive coatings.
 
With 30 years of expertise in SCA production, allnex delivers high-performance solutions that meet the stringent demands of automotive OEMs, from extreme temperature resistance to superior aesthetics. The portfolio includes:
 
  • Opaque SCA (e.g., SETALUX® 91756 VS-60) – Withstands high-temperature baking (up to 140°C), ensuring durability.
  • Transparent SCA (e.g., SETAL® 82166 SS-64) – Cures efficiently at room temperature, ideal for multi-material applications.
  • Strong SCA (e.g., SETALUX® 61767 VX-60) – Enhances transparency, reduces yellowing, and improves fluidity in low-temperature curing (LCT).
  • Light SCA (e.g., SETALUX® 71761 VB-60) – Perfect for short oven lines, delivering flawless topcoat finishes.
 
 
Taweesak Kaosol, Regional Marketing Director of Asia Pacific at allnex, stated:
As the automotive industry accelerates its sustainability transition, allnex is proud to lead with cutting-edge Mass Balance SCA technology. Reducing carbon footprints by up to 32% while maintaining performance demonstrates our commitment to innovation and environmental stewardship. We will continue expanding our greener portfolio to meet evolving industry needs.
