Characteristics Thickening and thixotropy: REOLOSIL provides thickening and thixotropic effects in liquid systems such as polyesters, epoxies, and urethane resins due to interactions between aggregates and the development of three-dimensional networks between REOLOSIL particles. Reinforcement: Adding REOLOSIL as a filler material improves various mechanical properties of elastomers, including modulus, elongation at break, tensile strength and tear resistance. REOLOSIL's large specific surface area also makes it possible to achieve excellent transparency in elastomers. Anti-settling effects: REOLOSIL improves the suspension behavior in liquid systems, such as pigmented coatings or resins containing filters. Anti-caking, effects for Improved flow characteristics: Due to a property that makes it behave like bait bearings, REOLOSIL resists lumping and clogging. It can be used to improve the storage stability of powders that are especially prone to caking. REOLOSIL can also be used to improve flow characteristics and prevent flow problems. Insulation: With its very low solid state conductivity and vast spacing between particles, REOLOSIL provides excellent electrical and thermal insulation properties. Electrical charge: Hydrophobic REOLOSIL is used as a toner additive to stabilize electrical charge characteristics. TOKUYAMA can provide hydrophobic REOLOSIL grades manufactured to custom specifications. Polishing: In the semiconductor manufacturing process, the planarizalion of silicon wafers is achieved via CMP (chemical mechanical polishing) processes such as ILD, STI and metal CMP. REOLOSIL is used in certain CMP slurries as a polishing agent, due to high purity, sub-micron particle size and its distribution characteristics.      

Care Care Drying Aid Accoquat CS ULTRA NF is a unique nonflammable proprietary blend of cationic and nonionic emulsifiers and is especially designed for micro-emulsification of mineral seal oils (MSO) or other organic hydrophobes. Features & Benefits: Works effectively for microemulsification of a variety of hydrophobes including mineral seal oil, waxes, and silicones

Accoquat 622 HF-90 is a diamidoethyl (hydroxyethyl) ammonium methosulfate quaternary in a propylene gly-col solvent. It has low volatile organic carbons and is produced from natural/vegetable-based soybean oil sources, thus making it ideal for use in consumer and I&I green-renewable formulations. Accoquat 622 HF-90 is dispersible in warm water (> 35° C), and with its easy-to-handle high solids, low odor and no solvent smell it provides excellent softening while imparting anti-static properties to fabrics. Applications:

• Consumer/Household and Institutional Fabric Softeners (Vegetable-Based Claims; Fabric Rewetting Improvement Claims; Low VOCs)
• Textile Finishing and Drying Process of Fabrics (reduces effects of exposure to Ozone in atmosphere)
• Paper and Tissue Debonder

Organically modified polyalkyl polysiloxane AFCONA –2280 is a very effective defoamer and air-releaser for solvent-based and solvent-lesssystems. AFCONA –2280is a silicone-based product developed to produce rapid de-aeration for pigmented and mat finish of wood coatingin NC,AC and PU.For high gloss and transparent wood coating,It may cause some in can haziness when the dosage ishigher than 0.50% in PU and AC system. It’s also suitable for polyurethane and epoxy compounds used in flooring or general industrial application.AFCONA –2280also acts as a very good levelling agent,giving a smooth surface to the coating.It functions differently from AFCONA 2722 asthe siliconecontent is higher and the real active ingredient as defoamer is also higher.

Solution of a silicone modified polymer Effective defoamer for water-based coating systems with a good relation between defoaming and compatibility. An effective defoamer and deaerator. Prevents the formation of foam and blisters during manufacturing and application. It has a very good compatibility compared with good defoaming and deaeration properties and therefore it is very suitable for clear coat applications Very universal in use. Recommended for most of the water-based systems, especially clear applications. For use in grinding/mill bases AFCONA-2502 or AFCONA-2503 are better options. Can then be used as a post-additive.

Fluorocarbon modified polymer Anti-crater, substrate wetting and leveling agent for solvent-based coatings AFCONA –3277 is the100% active ingredient version of AFCONA –3777. Thus, it has similar performance as AFCONA –3777 in the same solid content form. AFCONA-3277 is a fluorocarbon modified polyacrylic. It can serve as non-silicone leveling agent, where silicone is not permitted due to intercoat adhesion problems. However, we highly recommend the usage of combination with a suitable Polysiloxane for better overall performance, if silicones are permitted. If the requirements are to solve problems caused by high surface tension or to bring down the surface tension strongly, AFCONA-3700 will be a better choice. AFCONA-3700 is also nearly 100% active and due to the higher fluorocarbon content more effective with a lower dosage. AFCONA -3700 has better compatibility properties than AFCONA-3277. However, the foam stabilizing effect is slightly higher. AFCONA-3277: 1) improves levelling 2) prevents cratering 3) helps substrate wetting 4) acts as a defoamer and de-aeration aid 5) does not interfere with intercoat adhesion AFCONA –3277 is recommended for all solvent-based and high solid systems. Due to AFCONA –3277 do not contain any solvent, it very suitable to use in high solids and solvent-free systems like UV, epoxy, polyurethane, PMMA flooring etc.

Fluorocarbon modified polyacrylic Anti-crater, substrate wetting and leveling agent for solvent-based coatings AFCONA-3670 is an improved version of AFCONA-3777 on managing surface control of coatings. It has lower surface tension than AFCONA -3777. The combination with a suitable polysiloxane for better overall performance is highly recommended. Due to the fluorocarbon modification, it gives lower surface tension than normal pure acrylic leveling agents. Therefore, it gives better anti-crater and improved substrate wetting. The obvious performances of AFCONA-3670 are: 1. improve leveling 2. prevent craters 3. help substrate wetting 4. act as a defoamer and de-aeration aid 5. do not interfere with intercoat adhesion AFCONA-3670 is suitable for all solvent based coatings, especially: 1. baking paints, as leveling and anti-crater agent 2.
