TAMOL® 681 is a specially-engineered, high-performance dispersant for interior and exterior latex paints. TAMOL 681 dispersant is 35% solids and formaldehyde free, no added formaldehyde or formaldehyde generators.

Bermocoll® EBS 351 FQ is a non-ionic, water soluble cellulose ether with enhanced enzyme resistance. It improves the consistency, the stability, and the water retention of water based products.

RHOPLEX® SG-30 is a revolutionary emulsion designed to meet the needs of new regulations for 150 g/L VOC semigloss interior and exterior architectural paints. RHOPLEX® SG-30 provides paint manufacturers an opportunity to formulate at lower VOC while maintaining key properties of conventional (250 g/L VOC) semigloss architectural paints.The results of laboratory tests comparing the performance properties of RHOPLEX® SG-30 formulated to 150 g/L VOC to a conventional 250 g/L VOC semigloss emulsion are included in this bulletin.

RHOPLEX® SG-10AF is a versatile 100% copolymer that was designed for use in high-quality interior/exterior semigloss paints. RHOPLEX® SG-10AF provides paint formulators with an opportunity to achieve excellent early and ultimate block resistance, and very good flow and leveling. RHOPLEX® SG-10AF establishes a new level of performance for aqueous semigloss applications.

Bermocoll® EHM EXTRA is an associative non-ionic, water-soluble cellulose ether that improves the rheological properties of water based paints.

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.

ACRYSOL™ TT-935 Rheology Modifier is a hydrophobically modified, 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. ACRYSOL™ TT-935 Rheology Modifier offers the formulation of paints with 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 over that of medium to high molecular weight cellulosic thickeners. The rheology of ACRYSOL™ TT-935 Rheology Modifier can be modified to give further improvements in 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 use in interior paints requiring improved flow and leveling, and lower raw material cost compared to cellulosic thickeners. Where superior water resistance is required we would recommend the use of ACRYSOL™ SCT-275 Rheology Modifier. ACRYSOL™ TT-935 Rheology Modifier can be used in exterior paints but we suggest formulators exercise caution to minimize potential blistering which can occur due to the anionic nature of this product. Delivered as a low viscosity liquid, ACRYSOL™ TT-935 Rheology Modifier is very easy to handle and incorporate into the paint. It is resistant to microbiological degradation, thereby avoiding viscosity loss in the paint, a common problem encountered by paint manufacturers.

Bermocoll® Prime 2500 is a non-ionic, water soluble cellulose ether with enhanced enzymatic resistance, and superior colour stability. It improves the consistency, the stability, and the water retention of water based paints.

K-FLEX® 500 is a blend of dipropylene glycol dibenzoate and diethylene glycol dibenzoate in a ratio of about one to one by weight. K-FLEX® 500 was created to take advantage of the excellent performance of diethylene glycol dibenzoate but with the added advantage of the better handling characteristics imparted by dipropylene glycol dibenzoate. Like K-FLEX DP, K-K-FLEX® 500 is a polar plasticizer that is a high solvator for PVC applications. K-FLEX® 500 is also compatible with polar polymers such as polyvinyl acetate.

Bermocoll® EHM 300 is associative non-ionic, water- soluble cellulose ether that improves the rheological properties of water based paints.

Bermocoll® EBS 451 FQ is a non-ionic, water soluble cellulose ether with enhanced enzyme resistance. It improves the consistency, the stability, and the water retention of water based products.

ACRYSOL™ G-111 is an ammonia neutralized poly-acrylate solution polymer recommended for thickening and stabilizing water based synthetic and natural latexes. It produces thickened latexes of a smooth and consistent texture and is insensitive to sodium, calcium, and magnesium ions.

RHOPLEX® AC-2235M is a 100% acrylic binder designed for use in exterior flat and sheen latex housepaints. The polymer provides a high degree of adhesion and durability. Film build and flow and leveling, however, are not as good as with newer acrylic binders. RHOPLEX® AC-2235M Acrylic Emulsion Polymer is designed to provide the same properties and performance as RHOPLEX® AC-235 in paint formulations, but at a lower price. RHOPLEX® AC-2235M may be substituted on a pound- for-pound basis for RHOPLEX® AC-235. As with any raw material substitution, key properties, such as adhesion and color acceptance, should be evaluated.

RHOPLEX® SG-10C is a versatile 100% copolymer that was designed for use in high-quality interior/exterior semigloss paints. RHOPLEX® SG-10C provides paint formulators with an opportunity to achieve excellent early and ultimate block resistance, and very good flow and leveling. This product establishes a new level of performance for aqueous applications. RHOPLEX® SG-10C is an APEO (alkyl phenol ethoxylate) surfactant free1 binder and contains no intentionally added PFAS.
