Products

Ceridust® 3610 is a micronized high density poly ethy lene wax.

Epoxy Hardener - AP 1057 is a low viscosity, reactive, phenalkamine hardener for epoxy resins based lacquers and coatings.

Dynasylan® SIVO 160 is a water­borne storage stable silane based sol­gel system for the formulation of inorganic surface treatment primers. As part of the SIVO® SOL Technology, it features all the benefits of the other well established products of this series. These are the absence of heavy metals, fluorides, and solvents. It is designed to have a low volatile organic content. Due to its polymeric nature, it is characterized by a high reactivity. This is demonstrated by its extraordinary low curing temperature of 20 to 80 °C which represents a major breakthrough for water­borne sol­gel systems. Dynasylan® SIVO 160 is a clear to slightly opaque, colorless to slightly yellow, low viscosity liquid.

CRAYVALLAC® SF is a proprietary amide-modified hydrogenated castor oil rheology modifier with an enhanced tolerance to temperature and solvent strength suitable for a variety of different solvent-based systems e.g. aromatic hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbon/alcohol blends. Compared to other hydrogenated castor oil based rheology modifiers, CRAYVALLAC® SF is more tolerant to strong solvents and high processing temperatures due to the presence of its unique performance enhancing amide. The activation process constitutes the conversion of the CRAYVALLAC® SF particles to an interacting network of fibre-like particles. It is this network that gives rise to the final coating’s shear thinning rheology. 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.

ACEMATT® HK 450 is an untreated, coarse particle sized precipitated silica. It is especially recommended for coil coatings, as well as general industrial coatings.

EBECRYL® 445 is a reactive chlorinated polyester resin diluted 40% with the reactive diluent trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA)(1). EBECRYL 445 is not based on bisphenol A raw materials, and is tin-free. EBECRYL 445 exhibits good lithographic behavior and pigment wetting properties, and fast cure response in ultraviolet light (UV) curable coatings and inks. Cured films of EBECRYL 445 display good adhesion to metals, and paper.

3M™ Glass Bubbles S60HS are engineered hollow glass microspheres that are alternatives to conventional fillers and additives such as silicas, calcium carbonate, talc, clay, etc., for many demanding applications. These low density particles are used in a wide range of industries to reduce part weight, lower costs and enhance product properties. The unique spherical shape of 3M glass bubbles offers a number of important benefits, including: higher filler loading, lower viscosity/improved flow and reduced shrinkage and warpage. It also helps the 3M glass bubbles blend readily into compounds and makes them adaptable to a variety of production processes including spraying, casting and molding. The chemically stable soda-lime-borosilicate glass composition of 3M glass bubbles provides excellent water resistance to create more stable emulsions. They are also non-combustible and non- porous, so they do not absorb resin. And, their low alkalinity gives 3M glass bubbles compatibility with most resins, stable viscosity and long shelf life.

D.E.H.® 590 specifically designed for high chemical resistanceapplications.

Ceridust® 8330 is a revolutionary, predominantly bio-based additive for printing inks.

CRAYVALLAC® WW-1001 is a 40% active dispersion of polyethylene wax in water. The low viscosity and high active content of this dispersion, together with freedom from dust, assist the efficiency of manufacturing processes. CRAYVALLAC® WW-1001 provides the formulator with the means of controlling the frictional characteristics of a coating as well as enhancing its surface protection properties.

AEROSIL® 380 Coating is a hydrophilic fumed silica with a specific surface area of 380 m²/g

ACRYSOL™ TT-935 Rheology Modifier is an alkali-soluble, anionic associative thickener, designed to give medium-shear-rate viscosity in interior/exterior flat latex paints. ACRYSOL™ TT-935 Rheology Modifier can be used as either a primary or co-thickener in water-based coatings. It offers excellent resistance to roller spattering with better film build and leveling than conventional thickeners. Paints formulated with ACRYSOL™ TT-935 Rheology Modifier as a sole thickener exhibit improved flow and leveling compared with medium- to high-molecular-weight cellulosic thickeners. The rheology can be modified to further improve flow and leveling by addition of low levels of surfactant or glycol-ether-type co-solvents to reduce the low-shear viscosity. Addition of some pre-dispersed colorant may also have this effect. ACRYSOL™ TT-935 Rheology Modifier is recommended for interior paints requiring improved flow and leveling and lower raw material cost compared to cellulosic thickeners. Where superior water resistance is required, we recommend ACRYSOL™ SCT-275 Rheology Modifier. ACRYSOL™ TT-935 can be used in exterior paints, but formulators should exercise caution to minimize potential blistering due to the anionic nature of this product. Delivered as a low-viscosity liquid, it is very easy to handle and incorporate into paint. It is resistant to microbiological degradation, thereby avoiding viscosity loss in paint, a common problem for manufacturers.

Ceridust® 3910 is a micronized amide wax.

Ceridust® 3030 TP is a micronized additive made from metallocene based high density polyethylene wax.Ceridust® 3030 TP is suitable for all kinds of printing inks and is especially recommended for pasty or solvent based systems. It creates excellent rub resistance and slip effect while keeping a high gloss level. The narrow and fine particles can furthermore prevent pilling on rubber blankets. It is furthermore an excellent additive for liquid coatings and especially recommended for solvent based systems or UV curing formulations. Used in liquid coatings like e.g. for packaging applications, Ceridust® 3030 TP creates excellent scratch resistance, slip effect and protection of the finished good.

3M™ Glass Bubbles iM16K are high-strength polymer additives made from a water-resistant and chemically-stable soda-lime borosilicate glass. These hollow glass microspheres can be used as a low density filler material ideal for plastic and rubber parts created from injection molding, extrusion processes, or other vigorous processing equipment (e.g., Banbury mixers, etc.), offering improved processing over many conventional fillers. They can reduce final part weight by 15% or more without compromising the mechanical integrity. 3M™ Glass Bubbles iM16K help to reduce weight, improve dimensional stability, reduce shrinkage and sink marks, and contribute to material and process cost savings. They may be ideal additive materials for applications in the automotive, heavy truck, aerospace, electrical, sports and leisure, electronics, appliance and durable goods industries. 3M glass bubbles are also valuable in construction products such as polymer/wood composites and siding helping not only to reduce part weight, but also to improve dimensional stability and nail-ability.
