Dynasylan® VTMO is a bifunctional organosilane possessing a reactive vinyl group and a hydrolyzable inorganic trimethoxysilyl group. The dual nature of its reactivity allows Dynasylan® VTMO to bind chemically to both inorganic materials (e.g. glass, metals, fillers) and organic polymers (e.g. thermosets, thermoplastics, elastomers), thus functioning as a crosslinking agent, adhesion promoter and/or surface modifier. Dynasylan® VTMO is a colorless, low-viscosity liquid with a typical aromatic odor.

ACRYSOL™ DR-1 Thickener is a synthetic, liquid thickener that offers a low cost/high performance alternative to cellulosic thickeners in interior flat latex paints. ACRYSOL™ DR-1 Thickener provides application and feel properties very similar to medium grades of cellulosic and hydrophobically modified HEC thickeners with excellent resistance to roller spattering and improved leveling in most formulations. ACRYSOL™ DR-1 Thickener is easy to handle and incorporate during the paint manufacturing process and is highly resistant to microbial attack. ACRYSOL™ DR-1 Thickener is part of the Designed Rheology product line which provides customized rheology based on key components.

TEGO® Foamex 825 is a compatible defoamer emulsion based on polyether siloxane technology. Good balance of effectiveness and compatibility.

Dynasylan® OCTEO is a monomeric medium ­chain alkyl functional silane. Dynasylan® OCTEO an easy ­to­ handle additive. During the hydrolysis reaction between water and Dynasylan® OCTEO a certain amount of ethanol (VOC) is released.

RHOPLEX® WL-81, waterborne, acrylic polymer is specifically designed for the formulation of clear and pigmented ambient or forced-air-dry industrial lacquers. Coating systems based on this polymer are suitable for use on a variety of substrates and offer a number of key benefits currently provided by solvent borne industrial lacquers, but without the flammability, odor, or other problems inherent with such systems.

ACRYSOL™ DR-300 associative thickener delivers effective shear-thinning rheology in coatings ranging from matt to semi-gloss, with a primary focus on exterior applications. The distinctive viscosity profile of this synthetic liquid thickener ensures sag resistance for higher film builds, all while maintaining the improved flow typical of associative thickeners. ACRYSOL™ DR-300 also provides good early water resistance to acrylic, styrene-acrylic, and vinyl-acrylic coatings, even on chalky or aged surfaces. As with all Designed Rheology products, ACRYSOL™ DR-300 is easily incorporated during the paint manufacturing process. A key benefit of ACRYSOL™ DR-300 is that it offers superior performance at a lower formulation cost compared to traditional cellulosic thickeners, owing to its enhanced thickening efficiency.

Dynasylan® PTMO an alkyltrialkoxysilane is important component in sol­gel systems. Dynasylan® PTMO is a colorless, low­viscosity liquid. Dynasylan® PTMO is regarded as trifunctional since all three alkoxy groups can hydrolyze. Dynasylan® PTMO also contains a propyl group that adds hydrophobic character to sol­gel coatings. Hydrolysis leads to silanol groups which, in a subsequent condensation reaction, form very stable siloxane bonds (­Si­O­Si­). Condensation occurs parallel to hydrolysis once a certain amount of silanol groups have been formed. The absolute and relative rates of hydrolysis and condensation depend on a number of factors. The most important factors include pH, concentration, solvent, temperature and the catalyst.

TEGO® Phobe 1500 N is a functional polysiloxane formulation for the hydrophobization of coating formulations. It generates an extreme water-beading effect.

RHOPLEX® TP-257 is a high-solids binder for waterborne acrylic traffic paints, which offers a good cost/performance balance. Quick-drying striping paints formulated with RHOPLEX® TP-2577 resist the rigorous environment encountered on highways and related surfaces such as airfields and parking lots.

TEGO® ViscoPlus 3010 is a pH independent, associative thickener with newtonian flow behavior. It is especially designed for high-shear thickening.

TEGO® DISPers 1010 is a polymeric wetting and dispersing additive used todispersepigments in solventsof low polarity, like whitespirits. Especiallyin low polar solvents, itsoutstanding viscosityreduction can beobserved.
