3M™ Glass Bubbles S32HSN are high- strength, low-density additives specially formulated to potentially afford higher survivability at low resin densities. They are hollow glass microspheres made from water-resistant and chemically-stable soda- lime borosilicate glass. These hollow glass microspheres can be used as a low-density filler material for many applications. They help reduce density and offer improved thermal insulation for better energy efficiency. They are used in a variety of applications in diverse markets, including automotive, construction, paints and coatings, appliances, and oil and gas applications.

C9-11 Acids are high purity, conjugated drying oil acids for alkyd resins, epoxy esters and copolymers requiring a combination of flexibility, adhesion, baking speed, color retention, chemical resistance, mar resistance and water resistance. The C9-11 Acids contain a negligible amount of linolenic acid, a yellowing factor, and a combined oleic and saturated acid content of less than 10%. There are no rosin acids or unsaponifiable matter present.

Synthomer MCT5 is a low molecular weight, solid copolymer of vinyl acetate and crotonic acid. It is an extremely versatile polymer soluble in both solvent and alkaline aqueous systems.

Dynasylan® HYDROSIL 1151 is an amino-functional silane which acts as an adhesion promoter between inorganic materials (for example glass, metals and fillers) and organic polymers (thermosets, thermoplastics and elastomers). Dynasylan® HYDROSIL 1151 is a colorless to slightly yellowish aqueous solution with an amine-like odur, miscible, with alcohols or water. Dynasylan® HYDROSIL 1151 contains about 40% active silane content in water.

HORDAPHOS MDB is an efficient EP/AW additive for aqueous metal working fluids and water-based fire-resistant hydraulic fluids (HFC, HFA-E).

CARPOL® GP-6305 is a glycerin-initiated polyether polyol. The resulting material has a functionality of three and an average molecular weight of 6300 Da. This triol is polymerized with propylene oxide and then capped with 5% ethylene oxide. The outcome is a polyol with enhanced reactivity. Main applications include C.A.S.E., however, CARPOL® GP-6305 may also be included as a component in other urethane products and formulations.

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

Precipitated Silica is a general term for white powder X ray amorphous silica and silicate products. It mainly refers to Precipitated Silica, fumed silica and ultrafine silica gel, and also includes powdered synthetic aluminum silicate and calcium silicate. Silica is a porous material and its composition can be expressed by SiO2.nH2O, in which nH20 exists in the form of surface hydroxyl. Soluble in caustic soda and hydrofluoric acid, insoluble in water, solvents and acids (except hydrofluoric acid), high temperature resistant, nonflammable, tasteless, odorless, with good electrical insulation.

Toyal SP75-100 is used in aerospace and aviation, aerospace coatings, ceramics and refractory markets. It is applicable in metallurgy processes.

SIPERNAT® 22 S Coating is a carrier used in industrial additives, featuring anti-caking properties, free-flowing behavior, improved flow and consistency, faster production rates, high quality, and reduced maintenance costs.

3M™ Glass Bubbles HGS6000 is a non-combustible filler used in aerospace and hydrospace syntactic foams, printed wire boards, and radomes. It provides high filler loading, improved flow, low density, low thermal conductivity, low viscosity, low alkalinity, chemical stability, and water resistance. The product minimizes shrinkage and warpage, ensures viscosity stability, produces stable voids, and reduces part weight. It offers long shelf life and excellent processing stability.

Thetawet™ FS-8250 is an anionic surfactant that functions as an anti-blocking and release agent. It is used in architectural paints, lacquers, solventless and high solids coatings, and top coats, as well as in industrial additives such as polishes and waxes.

SIPERNAT® 28 Silica is an anti-caking agent, carrier, and conditioner used in agriculture and feed, ornamentals, and pest control.

Bioban® OP 100E Antimicrobial is a phenolic compound. It is used in a wide range of applications, including ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), phenol formaldehyde (PF), polypropylenes (PP), and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). It is also used in metalworking fluids and various industrial applications such as casein dispersions, ceramics, concrete admixtures, gaskets, leather, paper & pulp, photographic emulsions, polymer dispersion, slurries, and textiles.

CIMTUFF® 9107 is produced from high purity ore, which provide low iron content, low surface area and excellent color in dry form as well as when incorporated with resins. CIMTUFF® 9107 is primarily used in performance polypropylene, where improved tensile strength, flexural modulus, heat distortion temperature, increased stiffness, reduced shrinkage, and lower compounding costs are required. CIMTUFF® 9107 is platy, hydrophobic, non-abrasive and chemically inert.
