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

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.

CRAYVALLAC® LA-150 is a new pourable liquid rheology modifier supplied in Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) for post addition to solvent based systems.CRAYVALLAC® LA-150 is a post-addition rheology modifier composed of a modified urea dissolved in DMSO. When added to the final system, the DMSO is diluted and the modified urea crystallizes out as very fine fibres which build into a three-dimensional interacting network. It is this network that gives rise to the system’s shear thinning rheology and time dependent viscosity recovery. The result is excellent control of sedimentation combined with ease of application. Immediately following application, where low shear conditions again predominate, the system’s viscosity undergoes a time dependent recovery as the network re-establishes itself. This time dependency is known as thixotropy and enables the final system to attain very good levelling.

EBECRYL® 605/20 is the bisphenol A epoxy diacrylate, EBECRYL 600, diluted 20% by weight with the reactive diluent tripropylene glycol diacrylate (TPGDA) (1) to provide a lower viscosity, easier handling product. EBECRYL® 605/20 exhibits light color and fast cure response. Films of EBECRYL® 605/20 cured via ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) demonstrate high gloss, surface hardness, and the superior chemical resistance typical of an epoxy resin.

ACRYSOL™ RM-2020 is a non-ionic urethane rheology modifier, providing high shear viscosity. It is specifically designed for applications where a low odour or low VOC is required. It can be used either alone or in combination with thickeners effective in the low shear range to reach the desired rheological profile. ACRYSOL™ RM-2020 Rheology Modifier allows formulations with a Newtonian rheology profile combined with excellent water and alkali resistance.

ALNOVOL® PN 320/PAST is a novolac phenolic resin with a chemical composition involving substances like phthalic anhydride and formaldehyde. It is designed for use in various coatings, such as enamels, lacquers, and petrol-resistant coatings. This product is compatible with natural rubbers (NR) and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR).

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.

EBECRYL® 294/25 is an aliphatic urethane triacrylate diluted 25% by weight with the reactive diluent 1,6-hexanediol-diacrylate (HDDA). Films of EBECRYL® 294/25 cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) exhibit excellent abrasion and stain resistance, good exterior durability, toughness, and are resistant to yellowing.

EBECRYL® 4738 is a weather-stable aliphatic urethane acrylate having a relatively low viscosity due to the allophanate structure. Formulations based on EBECRYL® 4738 exhibit high reactivity and result in hard coatings.

ACRYSOL™ TT-615 is an alkali swellable acrylic polymer emulsion used as either a primary or ancillary thickener in coatings. This product exhibits viscosity build comparable to high molecular weight HEC thickeners at low shear levels. Viscosity is developed by neutralization to a pH of 7 to 10. ACRYSOL™ TT-615 demonstrates greater roller spatter resistance than the cellulostics, but with a more pseudoplastic rheology profile. The liquid physical form of ACRYSOL™ TT-615 facilitates its incorporation into grinds and letdowns.

Bermocoll® E 511 X is a non-ionic, water soluble cellulose ether. It improves the consistency, the stability, and the water retention of water based products.

RHOPLEX® DCR-113 is an aqueous all acrylic emulsion polymer designed for formulating into high solids Deck and, Concrete Restoration coatings. Low VOC, APEO-free restoration coatings can be formulated with RHOPLEX® DCR-113 to provide excellent abrasion resistance and flexibility, in addition to adhesion to concrete and well-weathered wood.

RHOPLEX® E-358 are self-crosslinking polymers which offer excellent strength and solvent resistance to both durable and disposable nonwovens. They perform well with synthetic fibers, cellulosics and blends and can be used on conventional bonding, drying and curing lines. Both water-based emulsions are hydrophilic, impart an intermediate hand and are suitable where maximum durability to washing or dry cleaning is required.
