Products in Performance Flooring: High Durability

Acronal® 5018 is an aqueous dispersion of a polymer based on acrylic ester and styrene. Efka® FL 3745 is a flow and leveling agent, a silicone-free leveling agent with air release properties for liquid nonaqueous coatings. It is also suitable for powder coatings, modifies surface tension, provides smooth, trouble-free film surfaces, and improves gloss. The physical form is a clear, colorless liquid.

Acronal® 5041 is an aqueous dispersion of a polymer based on acrylic ester and styrene. It is AOX-free, APEO-free, and alkylphenol-free. This product finds applications in sealants, caulk, and performance flooring. Its physical form is liquid, and it is characterized by a white color and a faint odor.

Acronal® 5028 is an ammonia-free aqueous dispersion of a copolymer of an acrylic acid ester and acrylonitrile. It is a non-APEO and non-plasticizer product, available in liquid dispersion form. Acronal® 5028 is primarily used to produce highly polymer-modified, cementitious, flexible waterproofing slurries (surface protection, composite waterproofing). Due to its low glass transition temperature, Acronal® 5028 imparts crack-bridging properties to waterproofing slurries even at temperatures as low as −20 °C.

Acronal® 5047 is an aqueous dispersion of an acrylic ester copolymer, produced using acrylonitrile, and manufactured without the addition of APEO. It is employed in the production of adhesives for laying all standard flexible flooring materials, such as textile, PVC, and rubber flooring. Acronal® 5047 facilitates the manufacturing of adhesives with a resin solution and enables the production of adhesives with resin melt, particularly very low-emission adhesives meeting the requirements of EMICODE® EC1+ and the Blue Angel (DE-UZ-113). Flooring adhesives made with Acronal® 5047 are distinguished by a well-balanced adhesion/cohesion ratio and excellent workability.

Acronal® S 533 is an aqueous dispersion consisting of a copolymer blend of butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, and styrene. This product is manufactured without the addition of APEO, ammonia, or formaldehyde. It comes in a liquid dispersion form and serves as a raw material specifically designed for industrial use.

Acronal® A 420 S is a plasticizer-free dispersion composed of thermally crosslinkable copolymers derived from acrylic acid esters. This dispersion possesses self-crosslinking properties and finds application in self-adhesive nonwovens, including carriers based on PET and glass fibers, filter nonwovens, materials for hygiene and medical purposes, as well as interlinings and high-loft waddings. It exists in liquid form with a faint odor in its dispersion.

Acronal® S 735 P is a product specifically crafted for tile adhesive applications, featuring high durability and weather resistance. Its core functions as a binder and resin make it a valuable asset in the adhesives and sealants market, particularly in building and construction. The application spectrum extends to building and construction sealants, caulks, and performance flooring. With a solid physical form, Acronal® S 735 P ensures robust performance in demanding adhesive applications.

Santicizer® 278 is a fast fusing, benzyl phthalate plasticizer designed for use in multiple polymer systems and applications. This plasticizer is a high molecular weight alkyl benzyl phthalate that has compatibility in many polymer types, particularly in PVC. Santicizer® 278 is extremely permanent. It resists exudation and extraction and has very low volatility. Additionally, Santicizer® 278 has shown sound dampening benefits, and has benefits in wet applications of paint.

Santicizer® 160 is a fast fusing, benzyl phthalate plasticizer designed for use in multiple polymer systems and applications. This plasticizer has compatibility in many polymer types, particularly in PVC. Santicizer® 160 can be used as a primary plasticizer or is often blended with general purpose plasticizers to offer faster fusion and better plasticizing efficiency. Together, these properties generate savings in faster production throughput, lower oven temperatures, and lower total plasticizer loadings. Santicizer® 160 is a well-recognized plasticizer utilized in many industrial PVC applications, processes like cleaning/purging, and as a carrier for biocides, pigments, and other additives.
