Specialty coatings
Use our technical know-how of the architecture industry
With the market's shift toward more sustainable, safer, and higher-performing paints, the landscape of formulations and ingredient choices is undergoing significant change. This transformation, coupled with the introduction of various "problem-solving" paint products, has added complexity to the world of formulation. Simplifying formulations without sacrificing performance and incorporating intelligent, multifunctional ingredients are crucial for the sustainable formulations of the future.
Meeting formulation challenges across various application areas, from roof coatings and aerosols to effect paints and light-duty metal paints, is where our extensive advanced additive portfolio and technical expertise come into play. We offer a wide range of specialty additives, including NiSAT, Organoclay, Rust Inhibitors, Defoamers, ASE/HASE, and Wetting & Dispersant agents.
Our expertise in Rheology, a core competence built on decades of knowledge and experienced professionals, enables us to enhance the performance of architectural paint formulations in multiple areas such as slip resistance, mar resistance, anti-rust properties, colour acceptance, and reduced water sensitivity. Additionally, our additives provide outstanding flow and leveling properties, making them suitable for various application methods such as spraying, brushing, and rolling.
Products
NALZIN® FA 179
Corrosion inhibitor for waterborne paints to counteract the formation of flash-rust. Also recommended for application as an inhibitor against the formation of in-can corrosion
- Superior anti flash-rusting on iron substrates
- Decreased water sensitivity
- Forms an anionic passivated layer, providing corrosion inhibition after the film has dried
BENTONE® 54
Bentonite based organoclay with improved dispersibility for non-aqueous low - to medium polarity coating systems. Effectively improves pigment suspension on storage and during transportation
- Optimized dispersibility
- Enhanced sag control and low shear viscosity
- Improved manufacturing flexibility
SLIP-AYD® SL 78
is a dispersion of polyethylene wax in short-oil coconut alkyd resin / xylene solvent. It provides significant reduction of coefficient of friction and good resistance to marring, scuffing, abrasion and metal marking.
- Exceptional resistance to blocking and abrasion
- Transparent at typical use levels
- Does not interfere with inter-coat adhesion
NUOSPERSE® FX 618
The ammonium salt of a hydrophobic copolymer dispersant, intended for use in high performance interior and exterior architectural water based coatings.
- Outstanding flow and leveling i.c.w. NiSAT
- High gloss in a variety of WB enamel systems
- Compatible with a broad range of coatings
- Superior water resistance
- Stability with ZnO and other reactive pigments
BENAQUA® 4000
Hectorite clay-polymer, easily dispersible powder designed for lower-gloss and matt latex paints, textured and high-build coatings It is especially useful in systems that are diluted with water prior to use.
- Enhanced textured and stippling effects (roller or spray applied)
- Minimized mud cracking
- Great Mid-shear-rate viscosity, excellent shear-thinning
- Superior sag resistance
RHEOLATE® 185
Excellent low-shear, designed as a partly replacement for HEC alternative in interior and exterior formulations. Improves mud crack resistance, hiding power and minimizes roller spattering.
- Cost effective replacing Cellulosic Thickeners >25%
- Mud-cracking resistance in thick coatings
- Better applied hide with less spattering
