Elementis to showcase sustainable additive innovations at American Coatings Show 2026

Indianapolis, IN — Elementis will participate in the American Coatings Show 2026, scheduled for May 5–7 in Indianapolis.

The event is one of North America’s leading coatings industry gatherings, bringing together manufacturers, formulators, researchers and partners focused on high-performance and sustainable solutions.

At this year’s show, Elementis will highlight additive technologies designed to improve performance, reduce costs and support environmentally responsible formulations.

Elementis will feature a display area with side-by-side application panels comparing its technologies with market alternatives. Demonstrations will focus on improvements in application performance, formulation efficiency, color consistency, and coating durability.

The company will present a range of additive technologies for architectural, industrial and specialty coatings.

The Opacity Toolbox is designed to optimize opacity while reducing material use and overall cost. It enables formulators to balance performance with sustainability goals.

HYPOMER MT-2550K provides a matte finish with consistent gloss, improved scratch and chemical resistance, and reduced processing issues caused by dust.

CVS functionalized additives are engineered to maintain viscosity after tinting, supporting consistent application, uniform film formation and fewer production adjustments.

Elementis will also showcase biobased and renewable additives that increase renewable content while maintaining performance, helping reduce carbon footprints.

For industrial applications, THIXATROL AS 8053 and THIXATROL PM 8058 offer efficient thickening with low-temperature activation, enabling energy savings and improved sag resistance.

THIXATROL 5050W and RHEOLATE 290 are designed for metallic coatings, supporting pigment alignment and delivering uniform, high-quality finishes.

Elementis specialists will be available at Booth 729 to discuss solutions for improving sustainability, efficiency and performance in coatings production.
