GfN-Selco Bamboo Charcoal Powder is made from moso bamboo timber, a sustainable and environmentally friendly material. Bamboo, one of the fastest-growing plants on Earth, regrows from its existing root structure when the culms are cut. The bamboo charcoal is microporous with excellent adsorption properties due to its large specific surface area (200-400 m²/g), making it ideal for use as a deodorizer, purifier, and humidity controller. The bamboo is charred at temperatures above 1000°C, then ground, sieved into various mesh sizes, and packed. The powder consists of pure natural carbon and is not chemically or physically treated for activation.

BYK-3456 is a fluorine-free, silicone-containing additive that enhances substrate wetting and leveling in aqueous systems and solvent-free UV coatings.

Claytone® APA is a rheology additive in powder form based on an organophilic phyllosilicate, designed for polar to medium-polar systems to generate thixotropic flow behavior.

BYK-3451 is a silicone surfactant designed for aqueous printing inks, overprint varnishes, inkjet inks, coatings, adhesives, and care products. It significantly reduces surface tension, improving the wetting of aqueous systems on non-polar substrates like polyethylene and polypropylene without increasing surface slip. This product enhances substrate wetting in waterborne coatings, adhesives, and inks, and is compatible with various surfaces, including paper. It functions as a wetting agent and surfactant, offering effective surface tension reduction for diverse applications.

Aquacer® 8032 is an aqueous emulsion formulated from HD polyethylene wax. It enhances surface properties in waterborne coatings and floor polishes, providing excellent scratch resistance, scuff resistance, rub resistance, and improved slip. This product is ideal for use as a surface modifier in coatings and home care applications. It is available in Canada, the USA, and Mexico. Aquacer® 8032 belongs to the high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polyolefins, and polyethylene waxes chemical families.

BYK-011 is a silicone-free, polymer-based defoamer for aqueous coating systems, including radiation-curable systems and cleaning agents. It is particularly recommended for two-pack polyurethane systems and offers very good recoatability.

Papain (800) is a natural enzyme found in high concentrations in the green peel and seeds of Carica papaya. It belongs to the cysteine protease class, exhibiting wide proteolysis activity. Traditionally used for tenderizing meat and cleaning wounds, papain also finds applications in wool and silk production to prevent matting and shrinking. It has vermicidal, antimicrobial, and antioxidative properties and is used in transfusion medicine and enzymatic peeling in cosmetics. With high activity and heat stability, it is widely applied in food, pharmaceuticals, daily chemicals, and the leather and textile industries. Papain (800) is produced using physical methods, including microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and freeze-drying, ensuring a pure, natural, and effective product.

BYK-Dynwet 800 is a silicone-free substrate wetting agent for aqueous coatings, inks, adhesives, sealants, glass fiber sizings, cleaning agents, care products, and detergents. It reduces dynamic surface tension, has low foam stabilization, and is especially suitable for high-speed machines.

Bionix® BIT20S is a 20% solution of 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one, a broad-spectrum microbiocide for controlling spoilage, odor-causing bacteria, yeast, and molds in aqueous industrial systems.
