VANCRYL® 65 is a medium molecular weight solid acrylic resin that is soluble in alkaline water solutions. Ammonia or other bases may be used as neutralizing agents. Co-solvents such as isopropanol are not required in making the solution, thus facilitating the preparation of low VOC inks and coatings. VANCRYL® 65 provides outstanding properties for high-solids gravure inks and waterborne clear overprint varnishes. The lower viscosity characteristics in solution of VANCRYL 65 allow the preparation of high solids inks and coatings, where high gloss and rapid drying are essential. Coatings prepared with VANCRYL® 65 have high gloss, scuff resistance, hardness, and excellent resolubility. VANCRYL® 65 is compatible with most acrylic and maleic resins. VANCRYL® 65 is also effective as a protective colloid in the production of styrene acrylic copolymer emulsions.

TAMOL® 945 is a highly-effective polycarboxylic acid dispersant supplied at 45% solids in the sodium form. It is recommended for use in waterborne paint and coatings formulations where it offers a wide range of performance and formulation benefits.

VANCRYL® 68 S is an aqueous solution of VANCRYL® 68 acrylic resin, with ammonia used to affect the solution. VANCRYL® 68 S provides outstanding pigment wetting along with the viscosity stability needed for aqueous gravure and flexographic inks. The transfer properties and hold-out characteristics of inks prepared with this resin solution are excellent. In coatings, VANCRYL® 68 S provides high gloss, scuff resistance, and hardness. VANCRYL® 68 S is compatible with most acrylic vehicles and other vehicles such as maleic resins. VANCRYL® 68 S is effective as a protective colloid in the production of styrene-acrylic copolymer emulsions.

VANCRYL® 800 is a styrene/acrylic copolymer used in waterborne inks and coatings for graphic arts applications. VANCRYL® 800 provides pigment wetting along with the viscosity stability needed for aqueous gravure and flexographic inks. The transfer properties and hold-out characteristics of inks prepared with VANCRYL 800 are excellent. VANCRYL® 800 is also effective as a protective colloid in the production of styrene-acrylic copolymer emulsions.

Thetawet™ FS-8020EB is an anionic surfactant and wetting agent used in fiber finishes, floor coatings, lacquers, and top coats. It is also used as a polish in industrial additives.

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.

Thetawet™ FS-8250 is an anionic surfactant that functions as an anti-blocking and release agent. It is used in architectural paints, lacquers, solventless and high solids coatings, and top coats, as well as in industrial additives such as polishes and waxes.

Thetawet™ FS-8200 is an anionic surfactant used as an anti-blocking and release agent in caulks, architectural paints, lacquers, solventless and high solids coatings, and top coats. It is also used in polishes and waxes. The product features excellent weatherability, low foaming, mold release, and soil resistance.

TAMOL® 901 is a versatile, multi-purpose, low foaming polyacid pigment dispersant which offers outstanding performance in low sheen latex paint formulations. This polyacid dispersant provides excellent stability and color acceptance in formulations containing reactive pigments such as zinc oxide.

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.

RHOPLEX® Multilobe™ 200 gives you the outstanding durability, tint retention, and dirt resistance you've come to expect from an all-acrylic binder. And more. Unlike other acrylic binders that contain only spherical particles, RHOPLEX® Multilobe™ 200 contains an optimized level of both spherical and lobed particles. This unique lobed particle geometry enhances brush drag. The result is a binder that provides an extraordinary combination of acrylic durability, film build, chalk adhesion and minimized thickener, and surfactant levels in the paint formulation. RHOPLEX® Multilobe™ 200 saves on raw material costs in that less surfactant is needed for color acceptance in tint bases. Foaming and surfactant leaching are minimized, too.

TAMOL® 1124 is a high performance hydrophilic copolymer which offers outstanding performance in a wide range of latex paint formulations from high gloss enamels to low sheen flats. Designed for excellent stability and compatibility with modern latex paint additives, TAMOL® 1124 dispersant is an excellent choice for the modern paint formulator.
