Epoxy Hardener - AP 5501 is a low viscosity, reactive poly amido amine hardener for epoxy resins based lacquers and coatings.

RHOPLEX® CL-106 acrylic emulsion has been designed for use in factory-applied clear topcoats for wood requiring the highest levels of appearance and surface hardness characteristics. Lacquers based on RHOPLEX® CL-106 acrylic emulsion are translucent in the can and upon application turn clear very rapidly while drying. RHOPLEX® CL-106 acrylic emulsion was developed for use in topcoat finishes and as such does not provide optimum appearance qualities if used as a sealer. In multi-coat systems, the finest overall appearance is obtained when RHOPLEX® CL-106 acrylic emulsion is used over specialized sealer formulations. It is recommended that RHOPLEX® CL-106 acrylic emulsion be used over sealers formulated from RHOPLEX® CL-105 emulsion. In this manner, RHOPLEX® CL-105 emulsion contributes excellent wood fiber wetting, appearance characteristics, and early sandability to the system while RHOPLEX® CL-106 emulsion provides a topcoat with hardness, mar resistance, and clarity. The volatile organic content (VOC) of typically formulated clear topcoat lacquers is less than 2.3 lb/gal and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) are 0.3 lb HAPs/lb solids.

Ceridust® 6050 M is a micronized metallocene-based polypropylene wax.

HP0145 - Water-Reducible Alkyd is a water-reducible short oil chain stopped alkyd dissolved in Glycol Ether EB and 2-Butanol (50/50). Based on Tall Oil Fatty Acids, this product may be reduced with water after appropriate neutralization with materials such as ammonia, triethylamine or DMEA. Baking enamel formulations can also be produced by adding appropriate amino resins.

Flexricin® P-8 is a highly efficient plasticizer having very low volatility. It has excellent electrical properties, extrusion lubricity and heat stability. It is used in vinyl wire- jacketing, semi-rigid vinyls and flexible nitrocellulose lacquers.

AP5551 is medium viscosity, polyamide adduct hardener for epoxy resins based lacquers and coatings.

HP7031 Coconut Alkyd is a short oil alkyd resin dissolved in xylene that uses coconut oil to produce a resin with initial low colour and little or no yellowing on aging.

AP 5905 is a low viscosity, modified Cycloaliphatic amine adduct hardener for epoxy resin based lacquers and coatings.

RHOPLEX® WL-81, waterborne, acrylic polymer is specifically designed for the formulation of clear and pigmented ambient or forced-air-dry industrial lacquers. Coating systems based on this polymer are suitable for use on a variety of substrates and offer a number of key benefits currently provided by solvent borne industrial lacquers, but without the flammability, odor, or other problems inherent with such systems.

Pale 4 polymerized castor oil oxidative polymerization of castor oil yields products with increased viscosities and decreasing solubility in aliphatic solvents. Pale 4 polymerized castor oil is used to plasticize a variety of resins in adhesive and sealant systems, inks and hot melts. It is a processing aid and plasticizer for rubber polymers.

AP 1442 is a medium viscosity reactive, phenalkamine hardener for epoxy resins based lacquers and coatings.

AP 5635 is a low viscosity, modified Cycloaliphatic amine adduct hardener for epoxy resin based lacquers and coatings.

DOP is still widely used as a plasticizer in selected applications where volatiles are less of an issue. It is also used as a hydraulic fluid and as a dielectric fluid in capacitors. DOP was the most widely used material as a plasticizer in manufacturing of articles made of PVC. Due to toxicity reasons, its usage has dropped and has been replaced by lower volatile phthalate and phthalate free products in some PVC and other applications.

AP 1032 is a low viscosity, reactive, mannish-based amine hardener for epoxy resins based lacquers and coatings.

Staybelite® Ester 10 is the glycerol ester of partially hydrogenated gum rosin. It is a pale, thermoplastic resin with excellent resistance to oxidation and discoloration. It is recommended for use as a tackifying resin for many adhesive applications, particularly pressure sensitive and emulsion types. In general, it is useful where there is need for pale, non-oxidizing, and color stable resin.
