Staybelite® Resin is gum rosin that has been partially hydrogenated via a catalytic process. It is a pale, thermoplastic, acidic resin, Hydrogenation makes this resin highly resistant to oxidation and discoloration and to changes in solubility characteristics, when it is exposed to air and heat. In these respects, it is greatly superior to ordinary non- hydrogenated rosins.

CYMEL® 1172 resin is an unalkylated glycoluril crosslinker supplied in water at 45% solids. It is designed to be used for crosslinking aqueous neutral or acidic hydroxyl or amide functional polymers and combines excellent stability at acidic pH (as low as 4) with excellent reactivity. CYMEL® 1172 resin cannot be used in amine neutralized or basic coating systems because of the potential problems of demethylolation of the compound and a significant decrease in cure response.

TAMOL® 2011 is a high-performance, hydrophobic copolymer dispersant especially useful for semi-gloss and gloss paints. TAMOL® 2011 is well suited for today’s generation of formulations as it is made without solvents or APEO surfactants. TAMOL® 2011 is particularly well fitted for formulations that contain hydrophobically modified urethane rheology modifiers.

TAMOL® 1254 is a versatile, low-cost, low-foaming polyacid dispersant that offers outstanding performance in a wide range of latex paint formulations. It is recommended for low sheen flats through gloss acrylic, styrene-acrylic and vinyl acrylic formulations. In addition to good efficiency, this polyacid dispersant offers excellent stability and color acceptance even in formulations containing zinc oxide.

POLYCO™ 2160 is Carboxylated Polyvinyl Acetate Homopolymer with excellent mechanical stability and very low grit levels. Medium particle size with good pigment binding ability and excellent water resistance. Minimizes "water interference mottle" in offset printing and offers good ink receptivity, glueability, and brightness with very low odor.

Preventol® MP 400 D is a carbamate chemical mixture used in building and construction, fluids and lubricants, and industrial and assembly adhesives.

KRONOS® 2044 is a special pigment with a high level of inorganic surface treatment for heavily filled systems.

RHOPLEX® EC-2848 is designed to provide elastomeric coatings with an excellent balance of elongation, tensile strength and dirt pickup resistance over a wide temperature range. The elongation properties of the polymer allow coatings to bridge dimensionally unstable cracks without rupturing. It also provides an excellent balance of toughness and elasticity at both low and high temperatures without sacrificing dirt pickup resistance. Coatings based on RHOPLEX® EC-2848 retain an attractive appearance as they age.

TAMOL® 681 is a specially-engineered, high-performance dispersant for interior and exterior latex paints. TAMOL 681 dispersant is 35% solids and formaldehyde free, no added formaldehyde or formaldehyde generators.

RHOPLEX® P-308 is an excellent choice when formulating paper coatings for high quality printing and packaging that require excellent gluing properties. Paper and paperboard coatings formulated with RHOPLEX P-308 can reduce print mottle in the Lithographic printing process. It was designed to have excellent compatibility with calcium ions for today’s high calcium carbonate pigment systems and the styrene-acrylic chemistry makes this a hydrophobic binder.

RHOPLEX® WL-100 is an acrylic-styrene copolymer designed for high-gloss, high-DOI (Distinctness of Image) waterborne plastic coatings where an attractive appearance and excellent dry and wet adhesion are important considerations. The favorable colloidal stability (robustness) of RHOPLEX® WL-100 accommodates a broad range of formulation types and formulation process techniques, providing the formulator with a versatile binder for a variety of applications. Robustness, along with 50% weight solids, allows the formulator to achieve volume solids above conventional waterborne binders.

TAMOL® 851 is a versatile polyacid dispersant that offers outstanding performance in a wide range of latex paint formulations. TAMOL® 851 is supplied at 30% solids in water and is free of both formaldehyde preservatives and ammonia. It is recommended for flat through semigloss acrylic, stirene/acrylic, and vinyl acrylic formulations. TAMOL® 851 is specifically designed to offer excellent stability in those formulations that contain zinc oxide.

RHOPLEX® ASE-75 is an acrylic thickener used to increase viscosity.

RHOPLEX® 2500 is designed for tough, water-resistant masonry paints and primers. Coatings based on RHOPLEX® 2500 possess very good adhesion to masonry substrates, excellent durability (gloss and tint retention, and dirt pickup resistance), and the ability to retard efflorescence in cured cementitious products.

RHOPLEX® HG-1630 is a binder and resin used in architectural coatings, automotive OEM coatings, automotive and transportation, industrial applications, and paints and coatings. It functions as a binder.
