Products

RHEOBYK-7420 ES is a hygroscopic product that should be stored dry. Minor cloudiness of the material that may occur during storage does not affect its rheological effectiveness. The specified storage stability upon dispatch applies when the product is handled correctly and stored in unopened original containers.

BYK-017 is a silicone-containing defoamer for aqueous pigment concentrates and glycol pastes used in printing inks and coatings. It prevents foam during grinding, ensures long-term stability, and is particularly suitable for resin-containing grinds.

BYK-378 is a solvent-free silicone surface additive for aqueous, solvent-borne, and solvent-free coatings and adhesives. It increases surface slip, significantly reduces surface tension, and has minor foam stabilization with low dosage requirements.

BYK-349 is a silicone surfactant for aqueous coatings, adhesives, and maintenance products. It significantly reduces surface tension, providing good substrate wetting without increasing surface slip. It is suitable for systems without co-solvents and serves as an all-purpose additive.

RHEOBYK HV 80 is a VOC-free associative thickener (HASE) for aqueous systems, designed to generate highly pseudoplastic flow behavior.

Foam Blast® 4205 is a modified silicone co-polymer additive designed to reduce or prevent foam formation in liquids. It is effective in low-VOC architectural paint formulations across various gloss levels and is compatible with latex and acrylic resins, offering shelf stability in these systems.

RHEOBYK 411 is a liquid rheology additive for low-polarity solvent-borne and solvent-free coating systems. It enhances anti-sagging and anti-settling properties by inducing highly thixotropic flow behavior. The product can be added post-process and is compatible with solventborne, solventless, and high solids coatings, as well as waterborne coatings. It functions as a rheology modifier and flame retardant and is part of the urea and urea derivatives chemical family.

Rocima™ BT 2S Microbicide is a microbiocide from the chemical mixtures and blends family, not listed under California Proposition 65. It is a 20% solution of 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one (BIT) in dipropylene glycol, specifically designed for industrial applications.

Ceraflour® 915 is a micronized polypropylene wax for solvent-borne and aqueous systems, designed to achieve medium surface textures.

Bioban™ 200 Antimicrobial is a low VOC antimicrobial formulation designed to protect paint films and coatings from surface mold, algae, and bacteria. It contains 4,5-dichloro-2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, the same active ingredient as Rozone™ 2000, offering broad-spectrum activity with improved ease of formulation. It is suitable for both interior and exterior applications.

Laponite RD is insoluble in water but hydrates and swells to form clear, colorless colloidal dispersions. At concentrations of 2% or greater in water, it produces highly thixotropic gels, making it an ideal gelling agent for a variety of applications. This versatile ingredient is used in ceramic glazes, surface coatings, waterborne coatings, and oilfield applications. It also functions as a texturizing agent in agrochemicals and as a cleaning agent in household and industrial cleaners. Due to its hygroscopic nature, Laponite RD can enhance the formulation's viscosity and improve stability in various systems.

Everzinc Standard 7 (Zinc Powder) is sustainably produced from recycled zinc and is widely used in liquid and powder coatings. It complies with ASTM D520 Type I and Type II (EP) standards for quality and performance.

Aquacer® 513 is an HDPE-based, VOC-free wax emulsion designed to enhance surface protection in aqueous coatings, printing inks, care products, and polishes. It provides good surface protection, abrasion resistance, and dirt pickup resistance, while offering superior polishing efficiency. Suitable for use in waterborne coatings and printing inks, it is compatible with substrates like marble and granite. This product functions as a surface modifier and is part of the polyethylene waxes and polyolefins chemical families.

Aquacer® 531 is a wax emulsion based on modified polyethylene designed to improve surface properties in aqueous coatings, printing inks, and dry lubricants. It also functions as an anti-caking additive for thermoplastics and hot-melt adhesives.

Aquacer® 8330 is a paraffin-based wax emulsion designed for use in aqueous systems. It enhances outdoor durability and improves water repellency in waterborne coatings. This product belongs to the paraffin waxes chemical family and is supplied as an emulsion.
