Products

Bermocoll® EHM 300 is associative non-ionic, water-soluble cellulose ether that improves the rheological properties of water-based paints.

EBECRYL® 870 is a fatty acid modified polyester hexaacrylate. Because of the special structure of the backbone and the high acrylic functionality, EBECRYL® 870 provides the proper hydrophilic-lipophilic balance necessary for lithography, and high reactivity when cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or an electron beam (EB). Lithographic inks based on EBECRYL® 870 will also display outstanding printing qualities, including excellent ink transfer, good dot definition and proper tack and rheological properties.

CRAYVALLAC® LA-377 is a modified urea dissolved in DMSO. CRAYVALLAC® LA-377 is a pourable liquid rheology modifier for post addition to water-based coatings such as water-dilutable alkyds and acrylic emulsions. It was developed to ensure particular suitability for metal coating as its formula is lithium chloride-free. CRAYVALLAC® LA-377 should be added to the coating as a slow stream under low to medium shear conditions to ensure sufficient dispersion. Although efficient stirring is required to ensure homogeneity, elevated temperatures are not required for activation and the use of excessive shear should be avoided.

AP 5940 is a low viscosity mannich base hardener for epoxy resin based lacquers and coatings.

CYMEL® 385 Resin is a methylated high imino melamine resin with a low degree of alkylation. Being supplied in water, it is recommended as a crosslinking agent for hydroxyl-containing emulsion polymers and other aqueous systems containing hydroxyl or amide functionality. CYMEL® 385 Resin has a high tendency to self-condense and may be used to increase the hardness and resistance properties of thermoplastic waterborne polymers.

HFGEL 120-FX is an organoclay for solvent-based systems of low to medium polarity.

CYMEL® 5010 Resin is a partially n-butylated benzoguanamine resin supplied in a mixture of n-butanol and xylene and designed for solvent-based coatings. Like other benzoguanamine resins, CYMEL® 5010 Resin imparts excellent adhesion and chemical resistance to the coating, but without the need for an external catalyst in the formulation. Because of the limited light resistance properties of benzoguanamine, CYMEL® 5010 Resin is not suitable for exterior applications.

EBECRYL® 242N is a tin-free aliphatic urethane acrylate diluted in isobornyl acrylate (IBOA).

CYMEL® U-1054 resin is a partially n-butylated urea crosslinking agent supplied in a mixture of n-butanol and ethanol. CYMEL® U-1054 resin is suitable for industrial heat cured primer formulations because of the excellent adhesion, water and corrosion resistance properties. In can coating formulations, CYMEL® U-1054 provides an excellent balance between adhesion and film flexibility, especially after several cure cycles.

ZINC OXIDE GRADE 104 is a brilliant white powder manufactured by the French (Indirect) Process. Grade 104 is our popular medium particle size zinc oxide offering high assay and very low impurities. Grade 104 is approved for pharmaceutical drug use as an excipient, is USFDA approved as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) at 21cfr182.8991 and is authorized by the USFDA for use wherever GRAS is approved including food contact in rubber, plastics, and coatings. Grade 104 also meets the requirements of ASTM specification D79, 2002/95/EC Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) for heavy metals and Waste Electrical and Electronic Directive (WEEE), and other regulations where high quality zinc oxide is required.This product is also available in pelleted form (grade 104P), and with around up to 0.1% processing aid/surface treatment (grade 104T) for some rubber mixers.

CHROMASHINE® GR20-X is an aluminum compound used as a metallic effect pigment.

REAFREE® C4705-10 is a binder and resin used in industrial, paints and coatings applications, specifically for powder coating.

EBECRYL® P115 is a copolymerizable amine used as a hydrogen donor, or photoactivator, in ultraviolet light (UV) curable coatings and inks. When used in formulations in combination with a photosensitizer (e.g. benzophenone), EBECRYL® P115 provides rapid UV cure response in air by mitigating the effects of oxygen inhibition at the coating or ink surface. Recommended levels are from 5 to 15% based on the total formulation, usually combined with 3-5% photosensitizer. EBECRYL® P115 can be used with EBECRYL® P39 (1) (a polymeric benzophenone derivative) to produce UV cured coatings and inks with low residual odor.

RHOPLEX® PR-409AF is an aqueous, all-acrylic binder designed for premium performance in universal stain blocking primers and primer-less paints. It’s distinct molecular weight distribution, combined with ambient crosslinking enables excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates without the use of APEO surfactants1. Coatings based on RHOPLEX® PR-409AF provide robust adhesion to metals, wood, masonry, cementitious, ceramic, alkyd and especially aged chalky substrates. The great compatibility of RHOPLEX® PR-409AF with zinc oxide can further enhance the exceptional stain blocking (household and tannin) and efflorescence of primers made with it. This binder further affords step out performance with the unusual combination of superior crack resistance combined with excellent dirt pick up resistance.

Flexricin® P-4 is a clear, low viscosity, low temperature plasticizer for many resin systems in the production of low durometer stock. It functions as a general purpose plasticizer and processing aid, and imparts exceptional cold crack resistance to flexible nitrocellulose lacquers.
