Efka® SL 3035 is a slip and leveling agent that improves leveling, increases slip and mar resistance, offers better compatibility compared to pure dimethylpolysiloxane, particularly in polar systems, prevents floating, and is resistant to hydrolysis. It can be used in both water- and solvent-based coatings, and due to its excellent compatibility, Efka® SL 3035 is particularly recommended for polyurethane and polyester wood coatings, helping prevent curtain rupture in curtain coating applications.

Baxxodur® EC 331 is a curing agent primarily used in the epoxy industry. It is based on cycloaliphatic amine and offers high glass transition temperature (Tg) and a long pot life. In the cured formulation, Baxxodur® EC 331 provides excellent resistance to chemicals, moisture, and high temperatures. It also exhibits good adhesion to metals and shows color stability. This curing agent is commonly used in applications such as coatings, adhesives, sealants, composites, electronics, and construction.

Irganox® 3114 exhibits excellent mechanical properties and high-temperature strength, effectively enhancing overall physical characteristics. It is compatible with various polymers and resins, including polyolefins, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), plastics, and elastomers. Its versatile applications span across the automotive, electrical/electronic, and textile industries. Specifically, this variant of Irganox® 3114 is available in a solid physical form.

Tinuvin® 5060 is a solvent-free, liquid blend featuring a 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-benzotriazole UV absorber (UVA) and a non-basic hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS). It is tailored to meet the high cost, performance, and durability requirements of exterior solventborne industrial and decorative coatings, particularly those suited for oxidative drying and acid-catalyzed systems. Key features and benefits include a synergistic UVA/HALS combination for solvent-based coatings and excellent photo-protection against loss of gloss, cracking, and color change. Notably, being a non-basic HALS, it allows formulating with acidic materials, including acid catalysts and acidic pigments.

Efka® PU 4047 is a high-molecular-weight dispersing agent used in high-quality industrial coatings such as automotive topcoats, coil coatings, 2-pack polyurethane coating systems, and pigment concentrates. Its higher molecular weight compared to Efka® PU 4046 results in stronger deflocculation with some organic pigments and carbon blacks.

Irganox® 565 showcases excellent mechanical properties and high-temperature strength, effectively enhancing overall physical characteristics. It is compatible with various polymers and resins, including polyolefins, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), plastics, and elastomers. Its applications extend across the automotive, electrical/electronic, and textile industries. This variant of Irganox® 565 is available in a liquid physical form.

Efka® FA 4610 is a low-molecular-weight dispersing agent, reducing dispersing time, increasing pigment load, and improving gloss and flow. Is in a transparent, slightly yellowish liquid form, Efka® FA 4610 enhances the efficiency of dispersing agents.

Irganox® 1076 FD is a versatile solution classified under the phosphites and hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS) chemical family. This product is compatible with polyolefins, polybutene, polypropylenes (PP), polyethylenes (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and polyurethanes (PU). In a convenient granular solid form, Irganox® 1076 FD ensures easy handling and integration into various formulations.

Efka® FA 4672 is a wetting and dispersing additive for reactive resin systems, offering optimal and quick dispersion of fillers, strong viscosity reduction, and compatibility with a wide variety of binder types. Its viscosity-reducing properties make it suitable for high and full solid systems, ensuring quick and optimal dispersion of fillers. Efka® FA 4672 is readily compatible with various binder types, making it suitable for use in 2-component polyurethane (PUR), 2-component epoxy (EP), and unsaturated polyester resins.

Dispex® Ultra FA 4431 is a dispersant for inorganic pigments and fillers in various systems. It reduces grinding and dispersion time, allows increased pigment loading, achieving low VOC levels in highly filled solvent-based systems, and improves gloss, leveling, and flow.

Irgafos® 168 FF is a hydrolytically stable organo-phosphite processing stabilizer, offering key features and benefits such as low volatility, resistance to hydrolysis, and protection for polymers prone to oxidation during processing. It effectively prevents discoloration and is presented as a white, free-flowing powder. Irgafos 168 FF is highly recommended for various applications, including powder coatings, solvent-based coatings, hot-melt adhesives, sealant systems, wood flooring adhesives, and roof coatings.

Efka® PB 2010 is a highly efficient defoamer designed for solvent-based coatings, particularly high-gloss top coats. Its universal nature allows its use for semi-matte and matte coats with a wide range of solvent-based binders. Silicone-free, it has no negative impact on inter-coat adhesion, making it suitable for primers, sealers, and various solvent-based systems, providing high defoaming performance while maintaining excellent compatibility.

2-Ethyl-4-methylimidazole is tailored for industrial applications in sectors such as oil, gas, mining, refining, gas processing, adhesive manufacturing, agriculture, coatings manufacturing, and mining applications. This product is available in solid physical form.

Efka® SI 2040 is a silicone-based defoamer for solvent-based coatings, preventing foam and blister formation during manufacturing and application. It is suitable for airless spray, brush, and roller applications. Recommended applications include air-drying systems based on acrylic, vinyl, or chlorinated polymers, fast-drying industrial and decorative finishes based on medium- to long-oil alkyd resins, and alkyd/melamine systems.
