COMPANY DESCRIPTION:
Conn and Company has been designing and manufacturing industrial mixing equipment for 55 years. We build equipment to meet the customer’s requirements with air or electric drive specifications to suit operating conditions; horsepower to suit service conditions; dimensional design to suit operating conditions or existing tank.We firmly believe in keeping it simple, durable and functional. Call us with your mixing problems and requirements. We will be glad to be of assistance.

MARKETS SERVED:
Conn provides low shear blending blades or high shear dispersion blades or complete drive assemblies for processing paints, adhesives, inks, cements, urethane foams, chemicals, slurries, grouts, etc.

TECHNOLOGIES:
Conn and Company recognized the need for blending blades and dispersion blades that provided true pumping action instead of plowing action. We have brought three patented blades to the market under the trade name CONN Blade®. The blade illustrated in our advertisement is the ITT style and with the combination of louvers and teeth, it is a high pumping high shear blade and it is the most efficient and aggressive dispersion blade available. The IT style has the louvers providing superior pumping action but without the teeth it is a high pumping low shear blending blade. The ITC CONN Blade® is an 8- vane open style blade providing excellent material flow, with more shear than the IT but is not as aggressive as the ITT.

MAJOR PRODUCTS:
The CONN blades are available from 2” diameter to 48” diameter with mounting holes or mounting hubs to retrofit and upgrade your present equipment. Split construction is available for entry through manways. CONN also manufactures complete units and drive assemblies to mount on your tanks. We supply air or electric utility/laboratory mixers, spool-type top entry for flange mounting to your tank and drive assemblies for mounting on bridge support for open top tanks. Let us know your requirements and we will be glad to be of assistance.

USA
Tel: 800-243-3024
E-mail: amdurjo@cromptoncorp.com
Website: www.cromptoncorp.com/urethanes

COMPANY DESCRIPTION:
Crompton's Urethanes business is the world leader in manufacturing urethane products. The business is characterized by a strong customer focus, backed by outstanding technical service offering solutions for the most complex processing and application challenges in the industry.

TECHNOLOGIES:
You don't need to trade performance for compliance. Now high hardness is easy, clean and safe. WITCOBOND®® A-100 aqueous polyurethane alloy delivers superior early hardness and mar resistance. A-100 formulations are NMP-free but still need coalescing solvent. Go NMP-free without giving up weatherability, gloss or abrasion resistance.

TECHNICAL SERVICES:
Crompton eliminated cross-linking - and the mixing, measuring and quality problems it can cause in the field. WITCOBOND® W-244 aqueous urethane dispersions deliver consistently high quality, hardness, adhesion and aesthetics, with lasting resistance to alkali and solvents, including either N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide or Skydrol airplane lubricant. All with single-component pot life, measured in months, not hours.

MAJOR PRODUCTS:

  • Witcobond® Polyurethane Dispersions
    Provide superior coating and adhesive properties for wood, plastics, fiberglass, textiles, leather and rubber as well as many other substrates. Two new solvent-free grades, Witcobond® W-281-F and Witcobond® W-290HSC, were recently commercialized.
  • Witcothane® Microcellular Systems
    Used in microcellular soles for fashion, leisure, safety and sport applications, as well as in industrial parts.
  • Fomrez® Polyester Polyols
    This line of products serves a broad range of applications from flexible foam, thermoplastic urethanes and coatings to adhesives and elastomers.
  • Adiprene® and Vibrathane® Hot Cast Prepolymers
    Recognized worldwide for toughness, load-bearing capacity, cut and tear resistance and abrasion resistance for applications like mining, oil and gas, graphic arts, recreation and industrial and mechanical goods. Our Adiprene® low-free TDI and Adiprene® low-free HDI are environmentally safe alternatives to conventionally processed prepolymers.
