This advancement significantly reduces the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) of coatings by 16% to 32%, aligning with the automotive sector’s urgent demand for eco-conscious solutions. The Mass Balance SCA technology replaces fossil-based raw materials with bio-based alternatives using a mass balance approach, without compromising performance. For example: SETAL® 90173 SS-50 BC reduces PCF by 23% compared to its conventional counterpart. SETAL®90173 SS-50 BC14 offers a balanced solution for customers prioritizing both cost efficiency and carbon footprint reduction. This innovation expands allnex’s Mass Balance portfolio, which currently includes Opaque SCA and Transparent SCA solutions. The company also reaffirmed its commitment to advancing greener SCA technologies tailored for automotive applications, backed by continuous R&D investment. With three decades of experience in SCA production, allnex’s deep understanding of automotive manufacturing processes enables it to address critical challenges faced by OEMs, from stringent temperature requirements to aesthetic and environmental standards. allnex’s SCA offerings a complete range of solutions, including: Opaque SCA: Products like SETALUX® 91756 VS-60 (9-series) excel in high-temperature baking environments (up to 140°C), ensuring durability under extreme conditions. Transparent SCA: The 8-series, including SETAL® 82166 SS-64, cures efficiently at room temperature (40–80°C for plastics; 80–100°C for car bodies), offering versatility for multi-material applications. Strong SCA: With smaller particle sizes and superior transparency (e.g., SETALUX® 61767 VX-60, 61230 BA-60), this category enhances efficiency, reduces yellowing, and supports a broader curing range—especially excelling in low-temperature (LCT) environments. A standout feature is its ability to improve fluidity during oven curing, optimizing production efficiency. Light SCA: Exemplified by SETALUX® 71761 VB-60, this solution is ideal for short oven lines and delivers enhanced topcoat aesthetics, meeting OEMs’ demands for flawless finishes. “As the automotive industry accelerates its transition to sustainability, allnex is proud to lead with cutting-edge Mass Balance SCA technology,” said Taweesak Kaosol, Regional Marketing Director of Asia Pacific at allnex. “Our ability to reduce carbon footprints by up to 32% while maintaining performance underscores our commitment to innovation and environmental stewardship.
