ACRYSOL™ RM-244 is a solvent-free, hydrophobically modified ethylene oxide urethane (HEUR) rheology modifier based on proprietary Acid Suppression technology for an excellent balance of properties. This KU-building associative thickener offers formulators an excellent balance of sag resistance in tinted paints, flow and leveling, and gloss development for interior and exterior paints. ACRYSOL™ RM-244 also contributes ICI viscosity allowing the reduction of ICI builder concentration in most formulations.

Thetawet™ FS-8388 is an anionic surfactant and wetting agent used in home care applications such as bottle wash, degreasers, floor cleaners, and household cleaners. It is also used in industrial and institutional cleaning including bottle wash, degreasers, industrial cleaners, and precision cleaners. Additionally, it functions as a leveling agent and surfactant in industrial additives like wax emulsions.

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.

ACRYSOL™ DR-5500 is a new associative thickener that delivers the same performance as ACRYSOL RM-5, but without the use of APEO surfactants. ACRYSOL™ DR-5500 provides excellent gloss, film build, and flow in latex paints. Being both APEO-free and solvent-free, ACRYSOL™ DR-5500 is ideally suited to meet the latest regulatory requirements for waterborne paints and coatings. This product enhances high shear (ICI Cone and; Plate) viscosity, resulting in coatings with high film build characteristics, improving hiding and appearance. Additional benefits for manufacturers include minimal roller spatter and the full realization of gloss potential in latex paints. Since ACRYSOL™ DR-5500 uses hydrophobically-modified alkali-soluble chemistry, it offers a high degree of resistance to bacterial and enzymatic attack, ensuring long-term paint viscosity stability.

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.

Licowax® KSL flakes is an ester of montanic acids with multifunctional alcohols.

AP 5939 is a low viscosity modified stabilized cycloaliphatic polyamine hardener for epoxy resin based lacquers and coatings.

AP 5956 is a low viscosity, reactive amine adduct hardener for epoxy resin based lacquers and coatings.

AP 5726 is a modified cycloaliphatic amine adduct hardener for epoxy resin based lacquers and coatings.

AP 5620 is a low viscosity, modified cycloaliphatic polyamine-adduct hardener for epoxy resin based coatings. AP 5620 has a very low viscosity which imparts low mixed viscosity in epoxy system. AP 5620 offer faster hardness development in high build coatings.

AP 5658 is a low viscosity, modified aliphatic amine hardener for epoxy resins based coatings at ambient and elevated temperature curing.

AP 5660 is a low viscosity, modified aliphatic amine hardener for epoxy resins based coatings at ambient and elevated temperature curing.
