Tinuvin® 5100 is a liquid, non-basic aminoether (NOR) hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS), meticulously developed to impart high durability to exterior industrial and decorative coatings. Tailored for coatings requiring a low-basicity, non-interacting, and high-value stabilizer, Tinuvin® 5100 is designed based on amino-ether functionality. Its low basicity minimizes interactions with acidic paint components, such as curing catalysts. The high efficiency of Tinuvin® 5100 significantly enhances coating performance by reducing paint degradation that leads to issues like cracking, gloss reduction in clear coats, and chalking and fading in pigmented paints. Key features and benefits include being a liquid amino-ether (non-interacting) HALS, minimizing interaction with acidic materials like acid catalysts and acidic pigments, and improving coating resistance to cracking and loss of gloss by scavenging free radicals.

Efka® RM 1920 serves as a rheology modifier for solvent-based systems. It is a particularly finely ground additive used to impart a thixotropic effect to paints, printing inks, and other coatings. This additive effectively prevents sagging of thick films on vertical surfaces while generally improving working and flow properties. It substantially reduces pigment settling. The chemical nature of Efka® RM 1920 involves hydrogenated castor oil.

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.

Efka® FL 3745 is a silicone-free flow and leveling agent with air release properties designed for liquid non-aqueous coatings. It is also suitable for powder coatings, modifying surface tension to provide smooth, trouble-free film surfaces, and enhancing gloss. In its physical form, it is a clear, colorless liquid.

Tinuvin® 292 HP is a liquid hindered amine light stabilizer developed for color-sensitive coating applications. It is a versatile HALS with superior performance in both water- and solvent-based coatings, extending the usable lifetime of coatings by minimizing loss of gloss and cracking. It demonstrates excellent compatibility with a wide variety of coating systems.

Ecoflex® Batch AB 1 is our certified compostable, aliphatic-aromatic copolyester typically used for film extrusion. Ecoflex® batches are also based on Ecoflex®, providing a biodegradable and compostable matrix for this special masterbatch. Masterbatches based on Ecoflex® enable qualification for certificates according to worldwide existing standards.

Efka® FA 4620 is a low-molecular-weight dispersing agent suitable for use in solvent- and water-based systems. It is very efficient at wetting and dispersing fillers, extenders, and inorganic pigments. In clear, brownish liquid form, Efka® FA 4620 serves as a versatile dispersing agent.

Tinuvin® 292is a liquid hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS) developed specifically for coatings. It comprises an almost pure mixture of two active ingredients, allowing it to remain in liquid form, unlike the tendency of pure diester to solidify, even at room temperature. The efficiency of Tinuvin 292 significantly prolongs the lifetime of coatings by reducing paint defects such as cracking and loss of gloss. Key features and benefits include versatility in both water and solvent based coatings, extension of coating lifetime, and excellent compatibility with a wide variety of coating systems.

Efka® SL 3239 is a dynamic liquid formulation designed to function as a defoamer, wetting agent, and leveling agent. Compatible with acrylics, polyesters, and alkyds, this versatile solution caters to various polymers and resins. Efka® SL 3239, in its liquid form, ensures easy and efficient application.

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.
