Bluesil™ FLD 47 V50 is straight chained polydimethylsiloxanic fluids.

CRAYVALLAC® LV is a high performance, micronised amide wax rheology modifier suitable for very high-solids and solvent-free applications.CRAYVALLAC® LV overcomes those difficulties which exist with hydrogenated castor oil based rheology modifiers e.g. seeding and false-body. Consequently, coatings formulated using CRAYVALLAC® LV exhibit an enhanced performance such as controlled flow behavior, ease of application and excellent sag resistance. Its very high efficiency even when activated allows to reach very strong shear thinning that can result either in very high sag resistance or interresting balance between viscosity and sag resistance. Therefore CRAYVALLAC® LV is for instance highly recommended in the case of solvent free coatings with relatively low viscosity. It prevents the use of specific equipment for the application that are necessary with more viscous solvent-free coatings.

Bluesil™ FLD 47 V100 is straight chained polydimethylsiloxanic fluids.

CRAYVALLAC® EXTRA is a high performance, micronised amide wax rheology modifier suitable for high-solids and solvent-free applications with very high robustness. It is especially recommended in 2K epoxy primers for its high temperature tolerance.CRAYVALLAC® EXTRA overcomes those difficulties which exist with hydrogenated castor oil based rheology modifiers e.g. seeding and false-body and that were maximised when activation was performed at high temperatures.

CRAYVALLAC® PC is a micronised hydrogenated castor oil derivative surface enhancing additive for powder coatings based on PRIMID, hybrid and TGIC technologies. CRAYVALLAC® PC is easily incorporated using conventional pre-mixing techniques prior to extrusion. The use of CRAYVALLAC® PC leads to a substantial improvement in the appearance of the final cured powder coating. This improvement is due to CRAYVALLAC® PC enhancing the flow, levelling and degassing processes during cure. This is the result of CRAYVALLAC® PC greatly reducing the melt viscosity during this critical levelling stage in the cure cycle. This viscosity reduction also enhances the performance of other additives such as acrylic levelling agents and the degassing agent benzoin. CRAYVALLAC® PC works well in both clear and pigmented powder coating systems based on PRIMID, Hybrid and TGIC technologies.

TEGO® Powder AID F05 is a hydrophobic fumed silica. It provides good free flow ability for powder coatings.

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.

Aluminum Stearate 1032 is a medium bulk density, white powder.

CRAYVALLAC® ANTISETTLE CVP is used in caulks, solventborne coatings, and greases. It features anti-settling, good leveling, high shear thinning, high thixotropy, recoatability, and sag resistance. The product functions as a rheology modifier in CASE ingredients.

HECTGEL RDS is a modified synthetic hectorite. It can hydrate and swell in the water to form the colorless and transparent colloid with low viscosity. When its concentration in water is 10%, it can still keep a good fluidity for a long period.

WANNATE® HT-400 is used in paints and coatings as a binder and resin, hardener, intermediate, and thinner. It is compatible with polyacrylates, polyester polyols, and polyurethanes (PU).

CRAYVALLAC® SLW is a high performance micronized amide wax rheology modifier designed for manufacture of one component Silyl-Terminated-Polymer based adhesives and sealants, especially for highly filled systems (demanding applications, High-Tack systems for instance).

CRAYVALLAC® SLX is a high performance micronised amide wax rheology modifier designed for the low temperature manufacture of moisture curing methoxysilane systems, where processing temperatures typically lie within the range 60 - 90°C. CRAYVALLAC® SLX particles are converted to an interacting network of crystalline fibres. It is this network that gives rise to the shear thinning rheology. This shear thinning characteristic provides for a low viscosity at the shear rates associated with application by extrusion, and a very high viscosity under the low shear rates experienced after application. The net result is ease of application followed by excellent sag and slump resistance.

CRAYVALLAC® PA4 WDA 12 is a pre-activated amide wax supplied in a mixture of mineral spirit (D60) and alcohols. Under paste form for post addition to solvent-based low polarity coating systems, it provides a very simple and direct mean of introducing shear-thinning rheology with thixotropic viscosity recovery to coating formulations. It is a softer version than CRAYVALLAC® PA3 WDA 20 with enhanced ease of incorporation. It is also a very cost efficient alternative to organoclays. The shear-thinning characteristic provides a very high viscosity under the low shear rates and a low viscosity at the much higher application shear rates. The net result is excellent control of sedimentation combined with ease of application. Immediately following application, the coating’s viscosity undergoes a time dependent recovery as the network re-establishes itself. This time dependence is known as thixotropy and enables the final coating to attain very good levelling.
