DYNOL™ 360 is an organic-based superwetter providing great substrate wetting especially on difficult-to-wet substrates. DYNOL™ 360 also acts as a coalescing aid and is suitable for waterborne coatings and inks.

Bluesil™ SP 3304 is a non-hydrolysable polyether modified polydimethylsiloxane.

Caspol™ 5001 is a 100% solids castor oil based reactive diluent with a linear chain backbone having low viscosity, good compatibility and wetting. This polyol is the lowest molecular weight diol of the Caspol series. Caspol™ 5001 has a very low viscosity and produces higher strength, elongation and flexibility than DBTM Oil.

D.E.R.® 721 is an aliphatic liquid epoxy resin based on a reaction product of epichlorohydrin and C12-C14 alcohol.

SURFYNOL® PSA-336 provides excellent dynamic wetting on difficult- to-wet substrates. This wetting agent is very easy to formulate into water-based systems.

VANCRYL® 960 is a very low glass transition temperature acrylic polymer for film printing applications in the graphic arts industry. Inks made from this polymer exhibit excellent gloss, adhesion to polyolefins, ice water crinkle resistance, and fine printing characteristics. These properties are needed when converting packaging printing from solvent-based formulations to water-based formulations. VANCRYL® 960 is compatible with VANCRYL® 68 pigment dispersions as well as other commonly used dispersion resins. It also exhibits excellent compatibility with additives such as surfactants, adhesion promoters, and waxes. VANCRYL® 960 can be used as the backbone of printing inks and overprint coatings where various COF or slide angle requirements are needed, from a range of 0.25 to 0.45.

VANCRYL® 965 emulsion is a very low glass transition temperature acrylic polymer designed for film printing applications in the graphic arts industry. Inks made from this polymer exhibit excellent gloss, adhesion to polyolefins, ice water crinkle resistance, and fine printing characteristics. VANCRYL® 965 also has the unusual combined properties of excellent resolubility and fast drying. These properties are needed when converting flexible packaging printing from solvent-based to water-based formulations. VANCRYL® 965 emulsion is compatible with VANCRYL® 68 pigment dispersions as well as other commonly used pigment dispersions. It also exhibits excellent compatibility with additives such as surfactants, adhesion promoters, alcohols, and waxes. VANCRYL® 965 can be used as the backbone of printing inks and overprint coatings where various COF or slide resistance requirements are needed, from a range of 0.25 to 0.45.

SURFYNOL® MD-20 is a very compatible molecular defoamer based on Gemini surfactant technology. Freeof siliconeand silica. Offers additional dynamic wetting properties.

Focus Ester OE 1005 is specially designed to use in water-dilutable metalworking coolants. Focus Ester OE 1005 will provide lubrication and corrosion protection with outstanding wetting characteristics. Using Focus Ester OE 1005 will reduce or eliminate the amount of additives needed in metalworking coolants, like chlorine, fatty acids and amides. Focus Ester OE 1005 does not contain any phosphorus, chlorine or sulfur and is ashless.

NIONIC™ 17R2 Surfactant is a reverse block copolymer surfactant with a chemical structure designed to provide reduced foaming and gelling tendencies compared to non-reverse block copolymer surfactants. NIONIC™ 17R2 Surfactant can be used to reduce the surface tension of liquids, including high viscosity liquids even at very low concentrations. The unique features are extremely low toxicity, defoaming activity, wetting, cleaning, emulsification, and chemical and thermal stability.

SURFYNOL® 61 surfactant is a 100% active multifunctional surface active agent. Due to its volatile nature, SURFYNOL® 61 surfactant can evaporate from a system under use conditions and/or heating. Therefore, SURFYNOL® 61 surfactant is useful in applications where residual surface activity or contamination is undesirable, such as silicon wafer and glass cleaning. SURFYNOL® 61 surfactant can provide excellent wetting of polyethylene and polypropylene films. Upon evaporation, little to no surfactant remains to interfere with trapping or cause water sensitivity in printing inks. During the curing of silicones by the silane/alkene addition reaction, SURFYNOL® 61 surfactant can “block” platinum catalysts through complexation; this effect can be used to delay the curing reaction. However, the SURFYNOL® 61 surfactant typically flashes off upon heating to liberate the active catalyst and trigger the reaction.

Focus Polysurf Semi Base 25 produces an excellent general purpose semi-synthetic fluid when diluted with water by the formulator. Focus Polysurf Semi Base 25 has exceptional wetting properties and is formulated with corrosion inhibitor and lubricity additives. It is designed to be diluted at a ratio of 30/40% base to 70/60% low hardness water. Focus Polysurf Semi Base 25 does not contain biocides, but it is compatible with most standard biocides. Depending on the biocide, a slight adjustment with oleic acid may be required.

Licocene® PP MA 7452 granules are used in hot melt adhesives. They feature good wetting, improved cohesion, and enhanced adhesion, along with good mechanical properties and reduced moisture uptake. It functions as an adhesion promoter, coupling agent, and wetting agent in both CASE ingredients and plastics & elastomers.

SURFYNOL® 485 is a substrate wetting agent for waterborne coatings and inks with high solubility in aqueous systems. SURFYNOL® 485 can also be used for its stabilization and emulsification properties.

AVANSE™ ST-410 is a new high-performance, 100% acrylic, waterborne polymer can be formulated to meet the toughest VOC standards and still outperform traditional solvent and waterborne semitransparent stain technologies. Semitransparent stains based on AVANSE™ ST-410 Acrylic Emulsion do not require coalescent or heavy metal driers, they are easy to apply, and they enhance the appearance of new and weathered wood with a long-lasting finish. In addition, the combination of morphology and unique particle stabilization maximizes the flow and lapping characteristics during application, while building early resistance properties upon drying.
