DERTOPHENE® T 105 is a light-colored and low VOC terpene phenolic resin. It allows to improve the properties of hot melt or solvent based adhesives such as specific adhesion, hot tack or flexibility.

Castung™ 403 U-V is a bodied dehydrated castor oil (DCO) that can be used with pure and modified phenolic resins to impart alkali resistance for can linings, corrosion resistant coatings, traffic paints, ink vehicles and marine finishes. The higher viscosity Castung™ 403 U-V will yield faster processing and drying times than Castung™ 103 G-H. Castung™ 403 U-V is excellent for formulating alkyd and copolymer resins, where dehydrated castor oil is well known for its non-yellowing and outstanding color retention characteristics.

Hostavin® 3050 liq is a low-molecular radical scavenger of the type hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS) for solventless paints. For solventborne systems we recommend its solutions which are Hostavin® 3053 liquid or Hostavin® 3063 liquid, instead. The latter can also be used in waterborne coatings.

EBECRYL® 4250 is an undiluted isocyanate functional urethane acrylate designed for use as an adhesion promoter in UV/EB coatings and in two component dual cure systems for coatings on wood, plastic and metal.

ACRYSOL™ DR-6600 offers the same performance as ACRYSOL RM-6, but without the use of APEO surfactants. ACRYSOL DR-6600 offers excellent gloss, film build and flow in latex paints. ACRYSOL DR-6600 is both APEO-free and solventfree and is thus well suited to meeting the latest regulatory requirements, under the proper conditions, for waterborne paints and coatings. ACRYSOL DR-6600 is effective in improving the high shear (ICI Cone and; Plate) viscosity, resulting in coatings that have high film build characteristics for improved hiding and appearance. Other benefits to the manufacturer include a virtual absence of roller spatter and the full realization of gloss potential for latex paints. Since ACRYSOL DR-6600 is of the hydrophobically-modified alkali-soluble chemistry it offers excellent long-term viscosity stability because it is inherently resistant to degradation through both enzymatic and bacterial routes.

EBECRYL® 4833 is an aliphatic urethane diacrylate diluted 10% by weight with the reactive diluent N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (N-VP)¹ . Ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) cured films of EBECRYL® 4833 exhibit excellent toughness, flexibility, and adhesion to various plastics, and are resistant to yellowing.

EBECRYL® LEO 10101 is a self-curing multifunctional acrylate enabling the UV curing of printing inks and coatings, not requiring additional photoinitiator, which reduces the risk of migration in indirect food contact applications. EBECRYL® LEO 10101 is specifically developed for making high reactive flexo inks with good flow and low migration. EBECRYL® LEO 10101 can be used for different colors also for white. It is recommended to use 20-30% EBECRYL® LEO 10101 in an ink or coating to reach a correct surface and through cure.

EBECRYL® 8402 is a low viscosity aliphatic urethane diacrylate. Films of EBECRYL® 8402 cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) exhibit good flexibility, toughness and excellent exterior durability. Low viscosity coatings or enhanced performance via increased oligomer content are possible with EBECRYL® 8402, Note that EBECRYL® 8402 typically develops a semi-crystalline aspect upon storage.

3M™ Glass Bubbles S38HS are high-strength polymer additives made from a water-resistant and chemically-stable soda-lime-borosilicate glass. These glass bubbles are designed for buoyancy and insulation in ultra-deep water applications in oil and gas drilling.The bubbles produce strong, stable voids and low thermal conductivity, helping coatings achieve the necessary compressive strength.

SURFYNOL® 118 is a very compatible, formulated molecular defoamer/deaerator based on Gemini surfactant technology. It can be used for a wide variety of applications where pinhole elimination, macro-, and micro-foam control is needed without causing any film defects.

EBECRYL® 4510 is an isocyanate functional aliphatic urethane acrylate supplied at 90% solids in butyl acetate. It is useful as an adhesion promoter ultraviolet (UV) and electron beam (EB) energy curable coatings and in two-component dual cure coatings.

CYMEL® NF 3030 Resin is a formaldehyde-free crosslinking agent supplied in water. It was designed primarily for use in 2 component, ambient or forced cure, water-borne conversion varnishes for industrial wood when formulated with VIACRYL® SC 6834w/42WA amine-free acrylic emulsion. Resulting formulas exhibit superior catalyzed pot life relative to isocyanate-based conversion varnishes. The resulting coatings have excellent appearance, early hardness, resistance properties, and hot/cold cycle flexibility.

Agimid® 240 B000 is a heat and light stabilized product for extrusion. The main application is colored pneumatic tubes for industrial and automotive markets.

RHOPLEX® CL-105 is designed for use in factory-applied, waterborne, acrylic wood finishes that require warmth, clarity, grain character and sandability. Sealers based on this emulsion have excellent sanding characteristics without the addition of stearates or other sanding aids. Formulations based on RHOPLEX® CL-105 are clear from the moment they are applied due to their excellent wet film clarity. These formulations also dry very rapidly. Clear lacquers based on RHOPLEX® CL-105 are formulated to have very low VOC and HAPS content, important advantages over solvent borne lacquers.
