CRAYVALLAC® SUPER is a high performance, micronised amide wax rheology modifier suitable for a wide range of solvent-based, high-solids and solvent-free applications. CRAYVALLAC® SUPER overcomes those difficulties which exist with hydrogenated castor oil based rheology modifiers e.g. seeding and false-body. Consequently, coatings formulated using CRAYVALLAC® SUPER exhibit an enhanced performance such as controlled flow behavior, ease of application and excellent sag resistanceIts smooth viscosity recovery will help to achieve high film thickness without compromising a good levelling.

CRAYVALLAC® PA4 X 20 is a rheology modifier pre-activated amide wax supplied in a mixture of xylene and alcohol. It is a rheology modifier in paste form with enhanced transparency, excellent anti-sagging and anti-settling properties.CRAYVALLAC® PA4 X 20 is supplied in the form of crystalline fibres. In a coating system, these fibres form an interacting network. This network gives rise to the shear thinning rheology of the final coating. This shear thinning characteristic provides a very high viscosity under the low shear rates associated with sedimentation, and a low viscosity at the much higher application shear rates. The net result is excellent control of sedimentation combined with ease of application.

Stainban™ 186 is a zinc free, odorless, aqueous tannin stain inhibitor additive for water based primers. The unique mechanism of this product allows it to effectively block tannins in stains, and pigmented coatings. It can be easily incorporated at any stage of the paint manufacturing process and is compatible with a wide range of surfactant and dispersants. StainbanTM 186 is effective at any PVC value of primers, however, it is more economical at higher PVC. It may reduce or eliminate the need for zinc oxide in primer formulations. Paints made with StainbanTM 186 have good storage stability and improved humidity resistance. It is HAPS free and does not contribute to VOC. Typical use level ranges from 1 - 4% based upon total formula weight.

LOTRYL® 35BA40T is a random ethylene-butyl acrylate copolymer.

XIBOND® 260 is a reactive additive to improve the blend morphology of polymer blends. This additive is a random copolymer of styrene and maleic anhydride.

CRAYVALLAC® SF is a proprietary amide-modified hydrogenated castor oil rheology modifier with an enhanced tolerance to temperature and solvent strength suitable for a variety of different solvent-based systems e.g. aromatic hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbon/alcohol blends. Compared to other hydrogenated castor oil based rheology modifiers, CRAYVALLAC® SF is more tolerant to strong solvents and high processing temperatures due to the presence of its unique performance enhancing amide. The activation process constitutes the conversion of the CRAYVALLAC® SF particles to an interacting network of fibre-like particles. It is this network that gives rise to the final coating’s shear thinning rheology. This shear thinning characteristic provides a very high viscosity under the low shear rates associated with sedimentation, and a low viscosity at the much higher application shear rates. The net result is excellent control of sedimentation combined with ease of application.

CAPTEX® 300 C is manufactured by the esterification of glycerin and caprylic or capric fatty acids which originate from only coconut sources.

Wayncor™ 214 is an effective corrosion inhibitive pigment designed for alkyds and other solvent based systems. Typical use level is 3 - 7% total formula weight.

CAPTEX® 8000 is manufactured by esterification of glycerin and caprylic acid which originate from vegetable sources (typically palm, palm kernel, and/or coconut sources).

SURFYNOL® 440 is a very good substrate wetting agent that offers good foam control with a moderate solubilityin aqueous systems. It is suitablefor waterborne coatings and inks.

Dynasylan® SILBOND® PURE functions as a surface modifier and crosslinking agent in CASE ingredients.

EBECRYL® 4859 is a difunctional aliphatic urethane methacrylate that does not contain any intentionally added organic tin compounds, heavy metals*, hydroquinone (HQ) or methyl ether of hydroquinone (MEHQ). (Please note that quinones are present in many raw materials, so the overall quinone content is reduced, but not zero in EBECRYL 4859.) Due to a low intrinsic viscosity, EBECRYL 4859 offers ease of formulating in energy curable systems that are low in viscosity with high oligomer content. Films of EBECRYL 4859 cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) exhibit good hardness, optically clarity, low color and good impact resistance.

SURFYNOL® 104 is a multi-functional surfactant that combines dynamic wetting and molecular defoaming in waterborne coatings and inks. SURFYNOL® 104 is available in liquid form in different solvent cuts.

CRAYVALLAC® SLW is a high performance micronized amide wax rheology modifier designed for manufacture of one component Silyl-Terminated-Polymer based adhesives and sealants, especially for highly filled systems (demanding applications, High-Tack systems for instance).

NuTone® 313 is a general purpose carbon black. It has better jetness with good dispersibility. It is primarily designed considering the high jetness requirement for fertilizer coating, leather coating and printing inks applications.
