Coatex BR - 100 P require the use of thickening agents which give various properties such as water retention and rheological properties (film build, Brush-ability and levelling of the film). Usual thickeners in emulsion paints provide poor rheological properties, giving a bad film build and levelling or a poor compatibility with the various paint components, and a decrease of the gloss level due to the formation of a haze after drying. BR 100 P has been especially designed to solve these problems. It is suitable for the thickening of anionic and non-ionic emulsions and particularly with styrene-acrylics, vinyl-acrylics and other copolymers. Beside gloss emulsion paints, the main applications for BR 100 P are in semi-gloss, interior and exterior flat emulsion paints, in anti-corrosive paints, in adhesives.

Coapur™ 6050 is an associative polyurethane that allows fine rheological adjustment of flat or semi-gloss paints. Coapur™ 6050, characterized by its thickening efficiency at low shear rates, is the logical complement to Coapur™ 3025.

Rheotech™ 3300 is a thickener, used as a processing aid and industrial additive in various industrial applications.

Rheotech™ 4600 is a thickener used as a processing aid and industrial additive in various industrial applications.

Ecodis™ P - 30 dispersion paints are usually formulated with fillers or extenders, particularly the very fine calcium carbonates and clays now available. Their dispersion in water-based systems must be achieved easily with common stirrers without forming agglomerates or causing a viscosity build-up. Usual inorganic dispersants such as phosphate-based dispersants are not able to solve this problem satisfactorily: their deflocculating effectiveness is limited by the fineness of the extenders used, and their poor temperature stability (degradation through hydrolysis) affects the long-term stability of paints. Ecodis™ P - 30 has been especially developed to overcome these problems. It ensures the complete dispersion of extenders and inorganic pigments at high solids contents in systems showing medium to high PVC.

Viscoatex™ 46 in water-based systems allows an increase in the yield value (i.e. low shear viscosity). Its use in textured coatings stops sagging and gives a good body to the coating without decreasing brushability. In paints and adhesives, Viscoatex™ 46 avoids the formation of syneresis and sagging. In pigments and extender dispersions (pigment pastes or slurries), the use of Viscoatex™ 46 avoids settling.

Ecodis™ 80 is an ammonium-neutralized polyacrylate dispersing agent for water-based systems. It ensures the complete dispersion of extenders and inorganic pigments at high solids contents in systems showing medium to high PVC (Pigment Volume Concentration). Very versatile and suitable for titanium dioxide, Kaolin, and calcium carbonates. Besides dispersion paints, the main applications for Ecodis™ 80 are in adhesives and wallpaper pastes.

Crayvallac® Ultra is a pure polyamide especially recommended in 2K epoxy primers for its robustness. Crayvallac® ULTRA is a micronized amide wax rheology modifier offering very good recoatability for ambient curing solvent-based epoxy coatings. Crayvallac® ULTRA has been designed to overcome difficulties that exist with older types of organo-wax rheology modifiers, e.g., seeding, false-body, and migration of readily dissolved species to the surface. Consequently, when used in strong solvent systems, coatings formulated using Crayvallac® ULTRA offer enhanced performance and very good recoatability without changing the product name.

Ecodis™ P - 50 is a sodium-neutralized polyacrylate dispersing agent for water-based systems. It ensures the complete dispersion of extenders and inorganic pigments at high solids contents in systems showing medium to high PVC (Pigment Volume Concentration).

Ecodis™ N is a cost effective dispersant recommended for use in matt dispersion paints. It contributes to shorten the time needed for a proper incorporation of usual fillers and pigments (calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide) even when a high concentration in solids is required. Ecodis™ N also helps to ensure long term viscosity stability to dispersion paints showing a high solids content and/or a high PVC (pigment volumic concentration).

BYK-ES 80 is a conductivity additive for solvent-borne coating systems, designed to enhance electrical conductivity in electrostatically-sprayed applications. It provides viscosity stability, prevents discoloration, and functions as a conductive agent.

Ecodis™ 40 is an industrial additive used in various industrial applications to enhance material properties.

Dystar Phthalo Blue RS NCNF is a flushed and dispersed pigment designed for industrial and architectural finishes. These "industrial" short to medium oil alkyd dispersions are free-flowing, viscosity-stable pigment concentrates, carefully controlled for consistent color characteristics when added by weight.

Coadis™ 234 - K is a synthetic, versatile dispersant for waterborne systems. It is recommended for a wide range of applications, including flat to glossy dispersion paints, thick film coatings and plasters, and organic pigment pastes (e.g., carbon black dispersion).

Coadis™ 3 - BR is an acrylic copolymer dispersing agent particularly suitable for water- or glycol-based titanium dioxide and iron oxides dispersions.
