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.

Rheovis® types are rheology modifiers that enable formulators to adjust the flow behavior of their automotive & industrial coatings products. That way they benefit from improved viscosity behavior and application characteristics.

The Omacide™ range, based on the trusted antifungal IPBC, provides broad compatibility and ease-of-use within a variety of homecare products, offering exceptional activity against yeast and mold growth.

ECOTINT® Premium is a unique selection of 20 high performance organic and inorganic colorants which can be combined to form a flexible customized POS tinting system. These colorants are perfect for exterior paints and plasters to cover the full color spectrum.

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.

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.

St. Louis Group offers a wide range of highly effective liquid & powder phosphorus based flame retardants. Specialty dispersions, blends, and masterbatches are available upon request.
