BYK-4509 is an adhesion promoter for solvent-borne and aqueous systems designed for application on metallic substrates.

BYK-1797 is a silicone-containing, highly effective defoamer and air release agent for solvent-borne, high-solid, and solvent-free 100% UV printing inks, overprint varnishes, and PUR-based thermosets. It also serves as a process additive for thermoset resin systems and polishes, including Pickering emulsions.

R. J. Marshal ULTRA 100 is a product designed for end uses where contact with sensitive skin is expected, such as bath mats.

BYK-Synergist 2100 is a pigment synergist for solvent-borne and solvent-free coating systems. It enhances the performance of polymeric wetting and dispersing additives, particularly in stabilizing pigments like phthalocyanine blue, phthalocyanine green, organic violet pigments, and carbon blacks. It provides good wetting properties and functions as a synergist to improve pigment dispersion. The product is in powder form and is used in both solventborne and solventless & high solids coatings.

Ceraflour® 1000 is a biodegradable, micronized polymer with wax-like properties derived from renewable raw materials. It provides matting, enhanced surface protection, and a soft feel effect, making it suitable for aqueous, solvent-borne, solvent-free, and UV systems. This product is ideal for use in wood, paper, and leather coatings, as well as radiation-curable inks and waterborne coatings. It also serves as an anti-blocking agent and is transparent, biodegradable, and derived from renewable resources. Available in powder form, it is compatible with a variety of substrates and supports radiation curing.

Eversorb® 74 is a yellow powder composed of 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4,6-ditertpentylphenol, classified under the benzotriazoles chemical family. It is listed in chemical inventories such as TSCA (USA), IECSC (China), DSL (Canada), AICS (Australia), ECL (Korea), ENCS (Japan), NZIoC (New Zealand), PICCS (Philippines), and NECSI (Taiwan). This high-performance UV absorber features low initial color, high permanence, and excellent compatibility with stabilizer chemistries.

TexFRon® 9001 is a solid flame retardant made from a proprietary ingredient, listed in the TSCA (USA) inventory and TSCA exempt. This additive flame retardant is designed for textile applications, providing flame retardancy in soak and wash durable FR coating and back-coating formulations.

BYK-323 is a silicone-containing surface additive for solvent-borne coating systems. It provides a slight reduction in surface tension, a slight increase in surface slip, good leveling, and defoaming properties. It is thermostable up to 250°C.

Incozol™ LV is a reactive diluent designed to enable low-VOC polyurethane coatings and sealants. It is used in two-component formulations, replacing part of the polyol component, as in automotive refinish and OEM coatings. Applications include high-solids coatings for boats, industrial maintenance, aircraft, automotive sealants, anti-graffiti lacquers, and waterproof coatings.

Duroct Calcium 10% is a drying agent used in fuel additive manufacturing and greases production. It serves as an effective industrial additive for drying purposes in various applications.

Incozol™ 2 is an effective moisture scavenger for polyurethane coatings and sealants. It eliminates moisture from solvents, polyols, prepolymers, plasticizers, and pigments, preventing bubbling and downglossing caused by excess moisture on substrates or from the atmosphere. Suitable for one- or two-component systems, it is not typically recommended for one-component systems with low NCO content.

Vikoflex® 4050 is a low-temperature octyl epoxy ester plasticizer designed to enhance heat and light stability in vinyl formulations. It features good wetting properties, low viscosity, and excellent flexibility at low temperatures. This product serves as both a plasticizer and an acid neutralizer, improving processing and performance. It is particularly effective in pigment dispersions, rotation castings, and slush molding processes. With its low odor and good heat and light stability, Vikoflex® 4050 ensures reliable performance in various applications.

R. J. Marshal ULTRA RES-N-SAND 16 is designed for anti-slip industrial floors, suitable for heavy-duty vehicles like lift trucks.

Dura XL-DRI is a drying agent, adhesion promoter, and coupling agent used in solventborne and waterborne coatings, paints, and various ink types, including printing inks. It enhances the adhesion between different surfaces, improves curing properties, and accelerates the drying process in coatings and ink formulations.
