Hydropalat® wetting agents offer outstanding substrate-wetting, colorant-compatibilizing, flow-control, slip-control and anti-mar agents for water-based formulations.

Attagel® attapulgite rheology modifiers offer a wide range of performance benefits in many liquid systems and are available in sizes ranging from fine powders to coarse granules. These thickeners and suspending agents provide easy dispersion, formulating latitude and long-term stability.

Dispex® dispersing agents for water-based systems and universal pigment concentrates offer outstanding viscosity reduction, increased color intensity and exceptional hiding power.

Loxanol® film-forming and coalescing agents, open-time prolongers and plasticizers are designed for low-VOC and sustainable raw materials.

Rheovis® additives encompass a broad portfolio of synthetic rheology modifiers designed for aqueous systems, including non-ionic associative (HEUR / HMPE), anionic associative (HASE) and non-associative anionic (ASE) technologies. Each product class has its own properties and applications to enable formulators to achieve their desired rheology profile with all types of resins. RHEOVIS PU and PE series of associative thickeners stand out as a class of groundbreaking additives based primarily on hydrophobically modified polyether and polyurethane derivatives. RHEOVIS HS and ASE are pH activated polyacrylate technology for ease of handling and in-can stability.

Tinuvin® is used across various markets including adhesives & sealants, automotive & transportation, building & construction, consumer goods, industrial, paints & coatings, and printing & packaging.

FoamStar® defoamers Award-winning technology based on a hyper-branched polymer with a 3-dimensional star-shaped structure. Unlike conventional mineral oil and silicone defoamers, our FoamStar® technology breaks down foam on a molecular level.

Efka® range of additives includes highly efficient and effective dispersing agents, wetting agents and surface modifiers, defoamers and rheology modifiers for solvent-borne formulations, including eco-friendly solutions.

Lupasol® Polymers for the Home Care and I&I Industry and for Formulation Technologies

Joncryl® acrylic polymer emulsions for 1-component (1K) and 2-component (2K) coatings systems. These products are designed to deliver high performance to clear and pigmented coatings on a variety of substrates like wood, concrete, plastic, and metal. The diverse products in our portfolio allow the coatings manufacturer to design coatings for primer, direct-to-metal, and topcoat applications. The JONCRYL resins provide the coatings manufacturer latitude to optimize product performance attributes, such as wet and dry adhesion, early water resistance, corrosion and chemical resistance, hardness, good inter-coat adhesion and excellent exterior durability.

Acronal® Acrylic binders, water-based acrylic and styrene-acrylic emulsion polymers offer high performance and sustainable solutions for formulations used in variety of industries, including

Foamaster® mineral oil defoamers for water-based systems deliver a perfect balance between excellent foam suppression, micro-foam removal, high compatibility, long-term efficiency, easy handling and environmental compliance.
