Brands

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

Basonat® is a versatile product serving multiple markets including automotive & transportation, building & construction, consumer goods, and paints & coatings.

Lupragen® is used in the industrial market for applications in chemical & industrial manufacturing and chemical manufacturing.

Basonol® is designed for the automotive & transportation and paints & coatings markets. It is used in automotive OEM coatings and vehicle refinish applications, providing reliable solutions for both automotive coatings and finishes.

Luhydran® is used in the automotive & transportation, consumer goods, and paints & coatings markets.

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

Irganox® antioxidants Reliable antioxidants to prevent oxidation of polymers from heat exposure that extends from production and application – e.g. processing and curing or baking at high temperatures – to service life. The IRGANOX lineup is made up of sterically hindered phenols and thioethers as well as blends of different AO technologies.

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.
