ACRYSOL™ DR-1 Thickener is a synthetic, liquid thickener that offers a low cost/high performance alternative to cellulosic thickeners in interior flat latex paints. ACRYSOL™ DR-1 Thickener provides application and feel properties very similar to medium grades of cellulosic and hydrophobically modified HEC thickeners with excellent resistance to roller spattering and improved leveling in most formulations. ACRYSOL™ DR-1 Thickener is easy to handle and incorporate during the paint manufacturing process and is highly resistant to microbial attack. ACRYSOL™ DR-1 Thickener is part of the Designed Rheology product line which provides customized rheology based on key components.

ACRYSOL™ DR-300 associative thickener delivers effective shear-thinning rheology in coatings ranging from matt to semi-gloss, with a primary focus on exterior applications. The distinctive viscosity profile of this synthetic liquid thickener ensures sag resistance for higher film builds, all while maintaining the improved flow typical of associative thickeners. ACRYSOL™ DR-300 also provides good early water resistance to acrylic, styrene-acrylic, and vinyl-acrylic coatings, even on chalky or aged surfaces. As with all Designed Rheology products, ACRYSOL™ DR-300 is easily incorporated during the paint manufacturing process. A key benefit of ACRYSOL™ DR-300 is that it offers superior performance at a lower formulation cost compared to traditional cellulosic thickeners, owing to its enhanced thickening efficiency.

CYMEL® 1156 resin is a highly butylated melamine resin developed for use in both water-borne and organo-soluble systems. CYMEL® 1156 resin is very hydrophobic in nature, which makes it an excellent choice for internal can coating applications where good water extraction resistance is desired. Its excellent throwing power and migration efficiency makes CYMEL® 1156 resin suitable for anodic electrodeposition coatings.

EBECRYL® 5848 is an epoxidized soya oil acrylate based in part on renewable resources. EBECRYL® 5848 provides improved flow, leveling and pigment wetting in ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) energy curable inks and coatings. Adhesion and flexibility are often enhanced when EBECRYL® 5848 is used as a modifier in inks and clear or pigmented coatings on paper and metal.

CYMEL® U-216-8 resin is a partially n-butylated urea crosslinking agent supplied in a mixture of n-butanol and xylene. It possesses a lower molecular weight than most other butylated ureas, which contributes to its low bulk viscosity and high degree of hydrocarbon tolerance. CYMEL® U-216-8 resin displays excellent compatibility with most hydrophobic resins, such as epoxies, and can contribute to improved leveling and adhesion characteristics. CYMEL® U-216-8 resin is recommended as a crosslinking resin in primer coatings, can coatings, and metal

CYMEL® 247-10 resin is a partially n-butylated melamine-formaldehyde crosslinking agent characterized by a superior degree of compatibility with most backbone polymers, as implied by its very high hydrocarbon tolerance value. CYMEL® 247-10 resin is suitable for industrial baking enamels requiring good flow, high gloss and superior resistance properties. CYMEL® 247-10 resin is also useful as a leveling agent in coil coating and metal decoration formulations to improve flow, wetting and gloss.

HP1717 - Polystar Soya Long Oil Alkyd is a long oil alkyd made with soya oil in low odour mineral spirits. It has been formulated for use in wood and metal coatings and architectural enamels. This product exhibits low yellowing, good gloss, and good overall appearance.

EBECRYL® 3702 is a fatty acid modified bisphenol A epoxy diacrylate that exhibits outstanding flow and leveling and pigment wetting properties. Films of EBECRYL® 3702 cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) demonstrate high gloss, improved water resistance and good chemical resistance.

Polycin® D-265 is a 100% solids, castor oil-based derivative designed for use as a polyol or reactive diluent in polyurethane coating systems. Polycin® D-265, with its very low viscosity, will allow for the formulation of higher system solids with improved VOC reduction. Polycin® D-265 will also impart the beneficial properties of castor oil derivatives, such as improved flow and leveling.

ACRYSOL™ RM-2020 E is a solvent-free, non-ionic, urethane associative thickener offering very versatile means of formulating paints with an optimal film build and high shear viscosity. It is specifically designed for applications where a low odour or low VOC is required and specific environmental requirements are needed.

EBECRYL® 331 is a wetting and dispersing agent for solvent-free and solvent containing UV/EB systems. It is a low molecular weight additive able to deflocculate and stabilize pigments very actively through electrical charging at the pigment surface.

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.

CRAYVALLAC® WN-1265 is a micronised amide wax.

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.

CYMEL® 350 Resin is a highly methylated, monomeric melamine resin recommended for use in both waterborne and solvent-borne systems. It has very good water solubility properties, which makes it easy to incorporate with excellent stability in emulsion systems, as it remains in the water phase and does not migrate to the polymer phase. Like CYMEL® 350 Resin, it is a very efficient crosslinking agent and is recommended for coil coatings and high solids systems. CYMEL® 350 Resin has a slightly slower cure response than other monomeric methylated melamine resins. This provides excellent flow and levelling characteristics and less solvent popping on cure
