Additives

DERCOLYTE® LTG is produced by polymerizing terpenes, is a low softening-point, low-volatile organic compound tacky resin. It is recommended to plasticize and to enhance adhesion of pressure sensitive adhesives.

D.E.H.® 586 is a curing agent used with epoxies (EP) in CASE ingredients.

CYMEL® 5010 Resin is a partially n-butylated benzoguanamine resin supplied in a mixture of n-butanol and xylene and designed for solvent-based coatings. Like other benzoguanamine resins, CYMEL® 5010 Resin imparts excellent adhesion and chemical resistance to the coating, but without the need for an external catalyst in the formulation. Because of the limited light resistance properties of benzoguanamine, CYMEL® 5010 Resin is not suitable for exterior applications.

D.E.H.® 538 is a curing agent and hardener used with epoxies (EP) in CASE ingredients.

Dynasylan® HYDROSIL 2909 functions as a surface modifier, coupling agent, and crosslinking agent in industrial additives.

CRAYVALLAC® LA-150 is a new pourable liquid rheology modifier supplied in Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) for post addition to solvent based systems.CRAYVALLAC® LA-150 is a post-addition rheology modifier composed of a modified urea dissolved in DMSO. When added to the final system, the DMSO is diluted and the modified urea crystallizes out as very fine fibres which build into a three-dimensional interacting network. It is this network that gives rise to the system’s shear thinning rheology and time dependent viscosity recovery. The result is excellent control of sedimentation combined with ease of application. Immediately following application, where low shear conditions again predominate, the system’s viscosity undergoes a time dependent recovery as the network re-establishes itself. This time dependency is known as thixotropy and enables the final system to attain very good levelling.

EBECRYL® P115 is a copolymerizable amine used as a hydrogen donor, or photoactivator, in ultraviolet light (UV) curable coatings and inks. When used in formulations in combination with a photosensitizer (e.g. benzophenone), EBECRYL® P115 provides rapid UV cure response in air by mitigating the effects of oxygen inhibition at the coating or ink surface. Recommended levels are from 5 to 15% based on the total formulation, usually combined with 3-5% photosensitizer. EBECRYL® P115 can be used with EBECRYL® P39 (1) (a polymeric benzophenone derivative) to produce UV cured coatings and inks with low residual odor.

D.E.H.® 85 is a unmodified, phenolic hardener.

D.E.H.® 82 is a Phenolic hardener containing 3.5% curing accelerator and 2.5% flow modifier.

TAMOL® 2002 is a dispersant used in industrial additives, binders, and textiles.

CRAYVALLAC® WN-1875 is a finely micronized polymeric material for use in a wide range of water-based and solvent-based applications, where it provides a matting and satin effect. CRAYVALLAC® WN-1875 is resistant to those solvents and chemicals commonly used in the coatings industry. Heat resistance, weather resistance and light stability are most favourable with this product.

DERCOLYTE® M 105 is produced from the copolymerisation of alpha and beta pinene. It is a bio based resin especially recommended for the formulation of high quality gum bases.

AEROSIL® R 972 Coating is a fumed silica after-treated with DDS (dimethyldichlorosilane). It is easy to disperse and suitable for a broad range of applications.

AEROXIDE® Alu C Coatings is a fine-particle fumed aluminium oxide with high specific surface area and marked aggregate and agglomarate structure. The positive surface charge makes it ideal to control the electrostatic charge in powder coatings.

LOTRYL® 35BA40T is a random ethylene-butyl acrylate copolymer.
