Curing Agents

Often, fillers have to meet very special requirements. In such cases not only good dispersion characteristics are of importance, but also mechanical and dynamic properties of the final products. Improved electrical insulation resistance, better aging and fluid resistance in many materials and improved anticorrosion properties have a crucial role to play in many areas. At Hoffmann Mineral, we developed Aktisil to meet such customer requirements. This special filler is made by treating the surface of Neuburg Siliceous Earth with chemical agents, mostly silanes. The reaction by-products (e.g. alcohol) formed during the manufacture of the different products of Aktisil are largely removed right away during the process. The coupling reaction fixes the silane to the surface of the filler. Any undesirable side-effects that can occur during mixing by direct addition of the silane are virtually eliminated. So the customer can choose from a complete product range of many different types of Aktisil. This is the result of many years of in-house experience and of close cooperation with customers. Know-how for users’ benefit.

An anti-slip system suitable for use on roads, bridges, multistorey car parks, airports, boat decks and in many other areas where a heavy duty solution is called for. Eurogrip can be applied to concrete, asphalt, steel or timber. It is a fast curing, 3 component anti-slip system that is suitable for aggregate sizes ranging from 0.5 to 3mm. Eurogrip is applied with a notched squeegee following which high friction grit/aggregate is broadcast onto the surface. Optus will advise on aggregate size, type and supplier.

CLiQFLOW is an rheological additives for non-aqueous systems.

Tricolit® is a sprayable solution that is heat cured into a hard coating, resulting in reduced frictional losses and wear on various surfaces. It is a versatile product that can be used alone or in combination with other coatings in order to optimize the characteristics of the material. We have a license based business model, and our clients are component manufacturers that have implemented our technology in their manufacturing processes. By doing so, they can add value to their clients by delivering improved properties in terms of reduced friction and wear, all at a competitive price.

VOXCO Pigments take the pleasure to introduce the new range lead free replacement product for the both decorative & industrial application

HALOX® Corrosion Inhibitors are effective against flash rusting and in-can corrosion, though the benefits of using these products does not end there. Our HALOX® Corrosion Inhibitors are ideally suited for high gloss, thin film, and clear coat applications. They also provide superior synergy when used in combination with inorganic corrosion inhibitors in traditional coatings. To achieve desired performance of your resin system proper selection of HALOX® Inhibitors is essential.

aquaBRIGHT™ has been blended entirely using materials that have been tested to comply with NSFIANSI 61 Potable Water Standards. It can be applied onto virtually any substate.

WB HRZS® has a quick dry-time which allows for easy application on tanks, barges, ships and causeway systems and will last for extended periods of use. Since multi-coat systems are not required, considerable savings advantages for the marine industry can be realized in both the short and long term while also remaining well within environmental guidelines. WB HRZS® chemically bonds to steel which prevents any undercutting should the structure be damaged while in use. WB HRZS® also has excellent anti-fouling properties; barnacles, zebra mussels, oysters, etc. will not adhere to the coating.

The reliable brand of environment-friendly, waterborne acrylic emulsion technology solutions for vehicle applications such as a high performance vibration and sound dampening component

Mascoat's family of protective, thermal and sound control solutions has been developed over the last 25 years through research & development, scientific study, real world testing and customer input. We are a leading provider in insulating, anti-sweat and sound damping solutions. Whether you have a vessel with condensation issues, a storage tank that requires low energy costs and personnel protection from burns, or a vehicle that needs to reduce the amount of noise inside, Mascoat can help. Each product is custom engineered to provide superior thermal and sound protection for the industrial, commercial, marine and automotive industries. Mascoat is an excellent alternative to conventional insulation and damping materials, including cellular glass, perlite, mineral wool, fiberglass, urethane and closed cell foam, and calcium silicate. Mascoat coatings are lighter than traditional insulation methods, reducing bulk in your structure. Their spray-application can reduce installation times and reduce manpower costs, keeping projects within budget. Best of all, since the coatings adhere directly to the substrate or primer, you will enjoy long-term protection of your equipment, no matter how harsh the environment.

LIONOL is a disazo yellow pigment with a semi-transparent and reddish shade.

Coating additives help formulators optimize paint processing, appearance, application and stability.

Aktifit is an activated Silfit Z 91 produced by modifying the surface with functional silanes. The by-products split off during the treatment reaction are largely removed during the production process which firmly attaches the silane to the filler surface. This helps minimize undesirable side effects, as they are potentially encountered with in-situ mixing (direct addition of silane to the compound).

AltroColor Color Pastes are formulated pigment preparations for coloring different duromeric resin systems. Due to their extraordinary color strength and brilliance, they can be used in a broad spectrum of applications throughout the processing industry. Our know-how and more than 10 years of experience give us the opportunity to modify individually AltroColor Color Pastes to your requirements, therefore we can provide you with the exact color paste which you need.
