Elementis focuses on responsible innovation and biobased solutions in Indianapolis. The company will be on hand throughout the event to discuss how these functional rheology technologies can help manufacturers reduce their carbon footprints while maintaining superior aesthetics.

Elementis, the global specialist in rheology modifiers, has announced its participation in the upcoming American Coatings Show (ACS) 2026, held from 5th to 7th May. The company aims to showcase a portfolio that balances high-performance technical requirements with the industry’s increasing demand for sustainable, cost-efficient formulations.

Central to their exhibit at Booth n. 729 will be an Interactive Display Area, where attendees can view side-by-side comparisons of Elementis technologies against market standards. These demonstrations are set to highlight improvements in application behaviour, colour development, and film durability.

Key innovations featured this year include:

  • The Opacity Toolbox: A system designed to optimise hiding power while reducing cost-in-use and improving sustainability.
  • HYPOMER MT-2550k: A solution for premium matte finishes that offers scratch resistance without the dust issues typical of traditional processing.
  • Biobased Portfolio: A range of additives designed to increase renewable content in coatings without sacrificing technical robustness or quality.
  • Industrial Efficiency: The THIXATROL® series (AS 8053 and PM 8058), which allows for low-temperature activation, leading to significant energy savings during production.
