Products

TEGO® Glide 410 shows oustanding slip and excellent anti-crater properties. It is highly effective and can be used in a broad rangeof different coatings and inks.

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.

SURFYNOL® 61 surfactant is a 100% active multifunctional surface active agent. Due to its volatile nature, SURFYNOL® 61 surfactant can evaporate from a system under use conditions and/or heating. Therefore, SURFYNOL® 61 surfactant is useful in applications where residual surface activity or contamination is undesirable, such as silicon wafer and glass cleaning. SURFYNOL® 61 surfactant can provide excellent wetting of polyethylene and polypropylene films. Upon evaporation, little to no surfactant remains to interfere with trapping or cause water sensitivity in printing inks. During the curing of silicones by the silane/alkene addition reaction, SURFYNOL® 61 surfactant can “block” platinum catalysts through complexation; this effect can be used to delay the curing reaction. However, the SURFYNOL® 61 surfactant typically flashes off upon heating to liberate the active catalyst and trigger the reaction.

DYNOL™ 360 is an organic-based superwetter providing great substrate wetting especially on difficult-to-wet substrates. DYNOL™ 360 also acts as a coalescing aid and is suitable for waterborne coatings and inks.

DYNOL™ 604 is an acetylenic diol based super wetter providing very good static and dynamic surface tension reduction in waterborne coatings and inks.

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.

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.

TEGO® Glide B 1484 combines flow promotion with deaerating properties in solvent-free and solvent-borne coatings. It supports orientation of matting agents.

TEGO® Rad 2100 is a short siloxane backbone/long organic modification, highly cross-linkable additive recommended when solubility and compatibility are required.

TEGO® Glide 492 shows very good slip and anti-blocking properties in waterborne formulations. It is free of aromatic solvents and tin, additionally suitable for eco-label compliant formulations.

RHOPLEX® Multilobe™ 400 Emulsion Polymer represents The Dow Chemical Company’s progress in design of an APEO (alkyl phenol ethoxylate) surfactant free binder for low-VOC exterior flat and satin paints, providing excellent durability, color retention, and dirt pick-up resistance.

TEGO® Glide 466 shows an excellent anti-crater effect on contaminated substrates. It is very effective and can be used in a broad range of different coatings.

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.

TEGO® Flow 425 is a universal, siloxane-based flow and anti-crater additive. It is highly compatible and suitable for a broad range of coatings.
