IMAGIFINE pigment pastes are high strength, pourable pigment dispersions, specifically formulated for in-plant tinting of emulsion and water-based or aqueous paints & aqueous inks. IMAGIFINE pigment pastes are cost economic alternatives to commonly used, high concentration aqueous dispersions containing high quality pigments in respect to light fastness, temperature and chemical resistance. IMAGIFINE pigment pastes use a minimal of additives to ensure that these dispersions interfere as little as possible with the chemistry of customer products. IMAGIFINE pigment pastes are standardized with respect to color strength on a weight basis. Pigment loading may vary from color to color.

PPG LO-VEL® flatting agents comprise a comprehensive line of synthetic amorphous precipitated silica products that reduce the gloss (or flatten) coatings, paints, varnishes, lacquers, inks and other finishes. PPG LO-VEL® silica product portfolio has continually expanded to meet evolving formulator demands and now covers a wide range of porosities, particle sizes and other physical properties.

MICACLAD F.C combines high-aspect ratio reinforcing cosmetic grade micas with the added advantage of an FDA compliant pigment sealed with an FDA compliant binding system. The result is a safe non-dispersing pigment, a vibrant color enhancement to the particle creating effects ranging from a subtle luster to a full simulated stone, the opacity of the flakes is sufficiently high to retain the reflectance in both aqueous and polymer based systems. Giving color fast pigment dispersions on a reinforcing mica particle could reduce raw material costs dramatically.

SPA-200™ is a Class "A" flame retardant additive for water-based stains and paints. It covers 200 sq. ft. per gallon with instructed application and can be used as spray or applied by paint roller or brush.

VF-15™ is a versatile two-component urethane based primer designed for a variety of substrates. It’s unique formulation allows for dilution with acetone by 33-50% for improved penetration, coverage, and adhesion. VF-15 may be applied at temperatures greater than 0˚ F by airless sprayer, roller, squeegee, or broom. VF-15 may be used with all VersaFlex rapid curing sealants and coatings for interior and exterior application. VF-15 has been designed along with VF-20™ to offer versatility and flexibility in primer selection. VF-15 will cure to 0°F is typically preferred at temperatures between 40—75°F or at elevated temperatures when a faster re-coat is required such as smaller projects or where quick return to service is needed. VF-20 is ideal for use when longer working time is needed.

DK 500™ 100% Solids Epoxy Clear Coat is a 2 component 100% solids, zero VOC floor coating system that is used in a wide variety of applications such as, thick-build clear coat for a host of decorative concrete systems, Dura-Kote Flake, Dura-Kote Metallic systems, and in certain applications as a primer coat and/or binder coat.
