CRAYVALLAC® PA4 X 20 is a rheology modifier pre-activated amide wax supplied in a mixture of xylene and alcohol. It is a rheology modifier in paste form with enhanced transparency, excellent anti-sagging and anti-settling properties.CRAYVALLAC® PA4 X 20 is supplied in the form of crystalline fibres. In a coating system, these fibres form an interacting network. This network gives rise to the shear thinning rheology of the final coating. This shear thinning characteristic provides a very high viscosity under the low shear rates associated with sedimentation, and a low viscosity at the much higher application shear rates. The net result is excellent control of sedimentation combined with ease of application.

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™ RM-1020 is a thickener from the chemical mixtures and blends family.

Sterotex® P is a spray-chilled powder produced from fractionated, non-hydrogenated, refined palm oil.

CIMBAR BF BLANC FIX is used as a filler and pigment in architectural coatings, automotive OEM coatings, industrial coatings, and paints and coatings. It is also applied in frictionizing processes.

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.

RHOPLEX® DCR-317 is an aqueous all-acrylic emulsion polymer designed for formulating into high solids Deck and, Concrete Restoration coatings. Restoration coatings can be formulated with RHOPLEX® DCR-317 Binder to help provide excellent flexibility and dirt pick- up resistance, in addition to adhesion to concrete and well-weathered wood.

EBECRYL® 118 is an aromatic monofunctional acrylate that can be used as a reactive diluent in ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) curing formulations. EBECRYL® 118 is a good diluent for a variety of acrylated oligomers. In formulations, it can lower Tg and increase flexibility of the UV/EB cured polymer while maintaining strength and toughness and improving substrate adhesion.

EBECRYL® 893 is a modified polyester acrylate specifically developed for UV curable field applied concrete and vinyl composition tile (VCT) floor coatings. EBECRYL 893 provides resistance to yellowing upon cure and over its lifetime. The low viscosity of EBECRYL 893 also provides latitude to achieve low viscosity formulations, which are required for field applied applications. Concrete and VCT coatings based on EBECRYL 893 provide a good balance of properties such as cure speed, adhesion, hardness, and scratch resistance. Good chemical and solvent resistance and high gloss are also obtained with concrete and VCT coatings based on EBECRYL 893.

RHOPLEX® VSR-5102 is a 100% Acrylic Binder designed for low-VOC interior and exterior flat to semi-gloss coatings. RHOPLEX® VSR-5102 can be formulated with little or no coalescent to pass the most stringent VOC regulations and is manufactured without the use of APEO surfactants. RHOPLEX® VSR-5102 offers a good balance of abrasive scrub resistance and stain removal along with very good exterior durability and dirt pick up resistance facilitating the formulation of high quality, low-VOC and low odor interior and exterior paints.

EBECRYL® 4740 is a weather-stable aliphatic urethane acrylate having a low viscosity due to the allophanate structure. Formulations based on EBECRYL® 4740 exhibit high reactivity and yield tough and elastic polymers. Coatings formulated with EBECRYL® 4740 are characterized by very good chemical and mechanical resistances, scratch resistance, abrasion resistance, and high resistance to yellowing.

EBECRYL® 4857 is a low viscosity, monomer free aliphatic urethane diacrylate which exhibits good flexibility in UV or EB cured films. The resin is designed to exhibit low yellowing and good exterior durability. Due to its low Tg the product is suitable for applications requiring haptic properties (e.g. “soft touch/feel”).

EBECRYL® 1258 is a trifunctional aliphatic urethane acrylate diluted 20% by weight with hydroxypropylmethacrylate (HPMA) that does not contain any intentionally added organic tin compounds, heavy metals, hydroquinone (HQ) or methyl ether of hydroquinone (MEHQ). (Please note that quinones are present in many raw materials, so the overall quinone content is reduced, but not zero in EBECRYL® 1258.) Films of EBECRYL® 1258 cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) combine abrasion resistance, flexibility, and adhesion with resistance to yellowing.

CYCAT® 500 is a catalyst used in electrostatic spraying applications, particularly in coil coating, e-coat & electrodeposition, primers, and solventless or high solids coatings. It features good cure acceleration, high electrical resistance, improved adhesion, and low energy consumption. It functions as a catalyst in CASE ingredients.

CIMBAR 325 is used as a filler and pigment in adhesives and sealants, carpet, ceramics and refractory, metal manufacturing and finishing, and paints and coatings. It is also applied in copper smelting, frictionizing, and sound deadening processes.
