  • Alkylol ammonium salt of a HMW carboxylic acid wetting and dispersing agent for water and solvent-based systems. Very good anti-settling effect. Extremely suitable for wash primers.
  • Non-ionic acetylenic diol based surfactant dispersing agent for water-based systems. A multi-functional additive, helps wet out difficult or contaminated substrates, lowers the surface tension of the system, improves pigment grind efficiency and prevents surface defects such as fisheyes, edge crawl and craters. Acts as a defoamer and due to its hydrophobic nature, reduces water sensitivity of the final system.
  • Solution of a sodium salt of an acrylic polymeric dispersing and wetting agent for water-based systems. Especially suitable for dispersion of inorganic pigments and fillers. Improved storage stability of both pigment dispersion and formulated paint. No adverse reaction to high temperatures or pH drift.
  • Special block-copolymer solvent-free dispersing agent for preparation of solvent and water-based pigment concentrates. Suitable for all type of pigments. Compatible with many let-down systems.
  • Fatty acid modified polyester improved pigment stability over 6220. Color acceptance aid & dispersant for all kinds of pigments for water & solvent-based systems. Can be used to formulate resin free universal colorants. 96% active.
  • Based on ketoxime and phosphorous ester salt. Anti-gelling agent for air-drying alkyd and baking paints. In air-drying alkyds, the ketoxime forms a protective layer on the top of the paint to reduce oxidation.
  • Modified polyacrylate polymeric dispersant based on CRP (Controlled Radical Polymerization) technology for solvent-based systems. High molecular weight working towards deflocculation of all types of pigments. Offers excellent performance in stabilizing both inorganic and organic pigments; very good stability performance in carbon black dispersions, where very high jetness can be achieved. In metallic systems, it gives a golden undertone for high channel black dispersions.
  • Pigment synergist developed for water-based systems. 98% active.
  • A non-silicone pure polyacrylic polymer leveling agent. Provides anti-cratering, leveling and improved substrate wetting. Delivers similar performance to fluorocarbon modified products.
  • Polymetric fluorocarbon polyacrylic non-silicone slip and leveling agent. Very strong surface tension reduction properties. Excellent anti-cratering, substrate wetting and promotion of vertical flow. Can be used in all solvent-based systems. Best in car-refinish, plastic coatings and industrial coatings.
  • Modified polyether polysiloxane silicone based slip and leveling agent for solvent and water-based systems. Good anti-cratering in polyurethane.
  • Modified polyether polysiloxane silicone suitable for solvent-based coatings. High slip performance, enhances build-up appearance. Good for metal coatings, refinish and baking paints. Low inner bubble sensitivity in polyurethane coatings.
  • Fluorocarbon modified polysiloxane silicone with strong surface tension reduction property. This translates to excellent anti-crater properties, substrate wetting and improved vertical leveling. Suitable in solvent and water-based systems.
  • Modified polysiloxane silicone based defoamer and deaerator for solvent-based systems. Shows very good performance for Epoxy and PU systems, especially solvent-less applications.
  • A non-silicone polymer defoamer for solvent-based systems. Very good compatibility and is extremely suitable for clear and high-gloss coating applications.
  • Silicone-based modified polysiloxane defoamer and deaerator for solvent-based systems. Has additional leveling properties in comparison to 2035.
  • Silicone based modified polysiloxane defoamer and deaerator. Very good defoaming and compatibility balance. Works well with polyurethane, NC & AC wood coatings and air-drying long oil and medium oil alkyds.
  • Modified polysiloxane defoamer for water-based applications. Used as a preparation of pigment concentrates.
  • Modified polysiloxane defoamer and deaerator for water-based systems. Best in polyurethane dispersions. Good defoaming as well as leveling and anti-crater action. Very easy to incorporate, even in low-shear conditions.
  • Modified polysiloxane silicone-based defoamer and deaerator for solvent-based systems. For unsaturated polyester systems. Better transparency and defoaming than 2720 along with very good surface leveling. Compatible in epoxy resin systems.
  • Modified polysiloxane silicone-based defoamer and deaerator for solvent-based systems. Good compatibility and clarity in high gloss UV systems, epoxies, polyurethanes, baking paints and other high viscosity systems.
  • Non-silicone polymer based defoamer for solvent-based systems. Very suitable for pigmented and matte UV coatings, epoxies, polyurethanes and baking paints.
  • Non-silicone polymer based defoamer for solvent-based systems. Economy replacement for Afcona 2020.
  • Non-silicone modified polyvinyl polymer. May cause some haziness in clear systems. Widely used in NC and AC lacquer wood finishes especially applied by curtain coater.
