Mipa with new sustainable paint product line

The use of renewable raw materials in paint production makes a significant contribution to sustainability, as natural resources are conserved and the use of fossil raw materials is reduced. These regenerative raw materials bind CO2 during their growth, which means that their processing into paints has a significantly lower CO2 footprint compared to conventional processes. The paint and varnish manufacturer Mipa is relying on this advanced technology with a new product line. By using renewable raw materials such as camphene, cork flour, straw, rapeseed or sugar cane, the proportion of fossil raw materials in the respective products can be reduced by up to 50%. "There is also no need to compromise on the quality and performance of the products," explains Benjamin Goldbach, Head of Mipa Application Technology. The new PE lightweight filler Mipa P 19 E is made exclusively from natural and renewable fillers. The styrene-free formula of the filler also ensures that it is particularly safe to work with. However, there are no differences in application compared to conventional polyester putties.

With the Mipa 2K-HS-Filler EF 42, Mipa presents a new high-fill and easy to sand filler made from largely renewable raw materials. Suitable for both full and partial coats, the filler is particularly impressive because it prevents sagging and edge formation. The new range is completed by the Mipa 2K-HS-Express clearcoat ECX 21 - a product for excellent clearcoat stability and optimum flow. Thanks to Mipa Express technology, the energy requirement in the spray booth is also reduced, which in turn protects the environment and reduces energy costs. The products can be used with the Mipa 2K-HS Hardener EHS 25 and the Mipa 2K-MS Hardener EMS 25, which are also produced on the basis of renewable raw materials, as well as with conventional Mipa MS and HS hardeners. In this way, the transition to the new product line can take place as cost-effectively and easily as possible, without impairing the workflow. Mipa's aim is to offer an equivalent alternative to the standard product range and thus enable as seamless a transition as possible to more sustainable materials.
