EBECRYL® 350 is a silicone diacrylate that improves slip, substrate wetting, and coating flow and leveling when used as an additive in formulations cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB). Cured films containing EBECRYL® 350 will exhibit a smooth, tack free surface, with good blocking resistance. Because of its acrylate functionality, the silicone cures into the polymeric backbone, thus eliminating the migration that free silicones often display in coatings.

CRAYVALLAC® WN-1265 PR is an amide wax.

RHOPLEX® CL-106 acrylic emulsion has been designed for use in factory-applied clear topcoats for wood requiring the highest levels of appearance and surface hardness characteristics. Lacquers based on RHOPLEX® CL-106 acrylic emulsion are translucent in the can and upon application turn clear very rapidly while drying. RHOPLEX® CL-106 acrylic emulsion was developed for use in topcoat finishes and as such does not provide optimum appearance qualities if used as a sealer. In multi-coat systems, the finest overall appearance is obtained when RHOPLEX® CL-106 acrylic emulsion is used over specialized sealer formulations. It is recommended that RHOPLEX® CL-106 acrylic emulsion be used over sealers formulated from RHOPLEX® CL-105 emulsion. In this manner, RHOPLEX® CL-105 emulsion contributes excellent wood fiber wetting, appearance characteristics, and early sandability to the system while RHOPLEX® CL-106 emulsion provides a topcoat with hardness, mar resistance, and clarity. The volatile organic content (VOC) of typically formulated clear topcoat lacquers is less than 2.3 lb/gal and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) are 0.3 lb HAPs/lb solids.

CRAYVALLAC® WF-3200 provides the formulator with the means of controlling the frictional characteristics of a coating as well as enhancing its surface protection properties. CRAYVALLAC® WF-3200 is readily dispersed into coating formulations using a variety of techniques e.g. high-speed dispersers, bead mills and triple roll mills.

CRAYVALLAC® WF-1000, with its fine particle size and very low coefficient of friction, provides the formulator with an excellent aid to controlling the frictional characteristics of a coating as well as enhancing its surface protection properties. Furthermore, the very high melting point of CRAYVALLAC® WF-1000 makes it an excellent choice for high temperature applications.

Dynasylan® MEMO is a methacrylfunctional silane that can be used as adhesion promoter, surface modifier, co-monomer for polymer synthesis and crosslinker. Dynasylan® MEMO is a clear, colorless liquid. It is soluble in alcohols, and aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons.

CRAYVALLAC® WN-1265 is a micronised amide wax.

CRAYVALLAC® WF-1039 has been especially designed to give textured finishes to polyester and hybrid powder coating systems. This texturing agent is easily incorporated using conventional premixing techniques prior to extrusion.

Dynasylan® MTES, an alkyltrialkoxysilane is an important component in sol­gel systems. Dynasylan® MTES is a colorless, low­viscosity liquid. Use requires acid­ or alkali­catalysed hydrolysis. Dynasylan® MTES is regarded as trifunctional since all three alkoxy groups are able to participate in this reaction. Additionally Dynasylan® MTES contains a methyl group that adds organic character to the products. 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 depends on a number of factors. The most important factors include pH, concentration, solvent, temperature and the catalyst.

EBECRYL® 1365 is a hexa-functional silicone modified urethane acrylate diluted in 50% of EBECRYL® 160. EBECRYL® 1365 can be used to prepare UV/EB curable coatings with low surface energy providing anti-stain and easy-to-clean properties. Additionally EBECRYL® 1365 can be used as a processing agent in matt and excimer curable formulations, facilitating a uniform film creation which in turn significantly increases the process robustness.

CRAYVALLAC® WN-1442 is a wax product consisting of paraffin waxes and hydrocarbon waxes.

CRAYVALLAC® WN-1135 is a micronised modified polypropylene wax.

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.

SPHERILEX® AC 45 (formerly EXP 9111-1) is a spherical precipitated calcium silicate designed to improve corrosion resistance when added to a coating formulation. It has a typical calcium content (CaO%) of between 6.5-7.5% and a relatively low oil absorption. Due to its unique morphology, it may also enhance film hardness and improve abrasion resistance of the cured coating.

CRAYVALLAC® WF-9200 is a micronised PTFE modified polyethylene wax.
