ACRYSOL™ RM-845 Rheology Modifier is a new generation, solvent-free, APEO-free, non-ionic product. ACRYSOL™ RM-845 is based upon patented and proprietary technology that enables it to contain 27% solids yet be provided at a low viscosity to allow facile pumping and pouring. ACRYSOL RM-845 Rheology Modifier builds mid-shear Stormer viscosity more efficiently than existing KU-builders. It is recommended for acrylic- and styrene/acrylic-based latex coating formulations. ACRYSOL™ RM-845 Rheology Modifier offers excellent flow and leveling, as well as gloss development, for both interior and exterior paints. It imparts a rheological profile to architectural and industrial coatings very similar to that of ACRYSOL RM-825, but with the benefit of no added solvent, allowing for ultra-low VOC formulations.

ACRYSOL™ DR-5500 is a new associative thickener that delivers the same performance as ACRYSOL RM-5, but without the use of APEO surfactants. ACRYSOL™ DR-5500 provides excellent gloss, film build, and flow in latex paints. Being both APEO-free and solvent-free, ACRYSOL™ DR-5500 is ideally suited to meet the latest regulatory requirements for waterborne paints and coatings. This product enhances high shear (ICI Cone and; Plate) viscosity, resulting in coatings with high film build characteristics, improving hiding and appearance. Additional benefits for manufacturers include minimal roller spatter and the full realization of gloss potential in latex paints. Since ACRYSOL™ DR-5500 uses hydrophobically-modified alkali-soluble chemistry, it offers a high degree of resistance to bacterial and enzymatic attack, ensuring long-term paint viscosity stability.

D.E.R.® 915 Epoxy Resin is a modified bisphenol A based "1"-type solid epoxy resin dispersed in water.

PARALOID™ B-72 100% Resin has low reactivity with sensitive phosphorescent and luminescent pigments to produce stable, durable, non-yellowing coatings. It is compatible with vinyls, cellulosics, chlorinated rubbers, and silicones. It is well suited for white and metallic aerosols, clear coatings for wood, nitrocellulose modified coatings for general product finishing, pigment dispersion (fluorescent), flexographic printing inks, and gravure plastic coatings.

ACRYSOL™ DR-110 Rheology Modifier is effective at building viscosity in a wide range of water-borne coatings formulations, from flat to semigloss. It offers application and feel properties to coatings that is very similar to those of hydroxyethylcellulose thickeners, particularly the hydrophobically modified type. Thus, it can provide a very cost-effective alternative to these cellulosic thickeners.

D.E.R.® 916 Epoxy Resin is a modified, semi-solid, epoxy novolac resin emulsified in water.

VANCRYL® 927 is a medium glass transition temperature acrylic emulsion for the graphic arts industry. Excellent gloss can be obtained by utilizing VANCRYL® 927 in inks and coatings. Its film formation properties, coupled with its rapid water release, result in very fast drying. It is suitable for both flexographic and gravure printing on paper substrates. VANCRYL® 927 has excellent compatibility with pigment dispersions and alcohols. Inks formulated with VANCRYL® 927 have good transfer, printability, and resolubility for high-quality printing on various paper substrates (including metalized paper) and aluminum foil. VANCRYL® 927 can also be formulated as a high gloss OPV that will very quickly develop water, oil, and scuff resistance.

ACRYSOL™ RM-7 Rheology Modifier is a remarkably versatile hydrophobically modified alkali-soluble emulsion (HASE) thickening agent for latex coatings. Like other HASE modifiers, ACRYSOL™ RM-7 Rheology Modifier offers a nearly Newtonian rheology profile with lower viscosity in low-shear conditions and higher viscosity in high-shear conditions than cellulosic thickeners deliver. As a result, it can produce paints with a very desirable combination of good flow/leveling and film build properties. ACRYSOL™ RM-7 Rheology Modifier is distinguished by a capacity to generate high-shear viscosity very efficiently, a feature that makes it exceptionally well suited to use with all acrylic emulsions, being developed for low-VOC, non flat waterborne paints.

Additin® M 49.001 is a hydrocarbon-based corrosion inhibitor, film former, and lubricity additive used in metalworking fluids, anti-rust oils, cutting fluids, dewatering fluids, drawing compounds, machining oils, and stamping oils. It provides excellent lubricity, good film formation, and wetting properties, with high biostability and low odor.

ACRYSOL™ RM-825 Rheology Modifier is a nonionic urethane rheology modifier, designed for formulating interior/exterior paints ranging from highly structured to paints that portray nearly Newtonian behavior. ACRYSOL™ RM-825 Rheology Modifier rheology modifier shows a very good balance of flow and high shear viscosity. The nature of this balance is dependent on formulations and latex types. This allows the formulation of paints meeting a variety of rheological requirements. ACRYSOL™ RM-825 Rheology Modifier can be used as a co-thickener in many types of formulations for attaining a desired balance of low and high shear viscosities. It has excellent water and alkali resistance.

ACRYSOL™ RM-3030 Rheology Modifier is a solvent-free1, hydrophobically modified ethylene oxide urethane (HEUR) rheology modifier based on proprietary technology. This ICI-building associative thickener offers formulators efficient ICI contribution with minimal mid-shear rheology response. ACRYSOL™ RM-3030 Rheology Modifier has demonstrated improved syneresis resistance in broad formulation latitude. ACRYSOL™ RM-3030 Rheology Modifier should be added under good mixing conditions to ensure complete incorporation into the formulation.

ACRYSOL™ RM-12WE Rheology Modifier is a nonionic rheology modifier designed to offer high low-shear viscosity with an extremely shear thinning rheology and excellent thickening efficiency. It offers a rheology profile similar to ACRYSOL™ RM-12WE Rheology Modifier but is prepared without intentionally adding tin compounds to the production process.

ACRYSOL™ I-62A Emulsion is an aqueous alkali-soluble acrylic copolymer which has broad utility as a dispersant for organic and inorganic pigments. As a pigment dispersant, it offers excellent dispersion for whites and a variety of deep-tone formulations. It is especially useful in formulations designed for thermosetting applications. It is a waterborne colloidal dispersion containing both carboxylic acid and hydroxyl functionality, and as such will crosslink with melamine-formaldehyde or urea-formaldehyde resins, thereby becoming part of the polymer matrix and improving the film properties.
