Products in Resin Manufacturing

AL FS 800 is hydrophilic fumed silica surface treated with polydimethylsiloxane to make it hydrophobic. Fumed silica’s unique manufacturing process produces a very high purity type of silica with nano size primary particles, a fluffy white powder that is an amorphous and colloidal form of silica. These characteristics impart a wide range of benefits to formulations from thickening and reinforcement to free flow and anti-settling. In addition the treatment imparts added water repellency, corrosion resistance, as well as thickening of complex polar liquids

Ketjenflex® 2 is a toluene sulfonamide based reactive plasticizer used in Melamine molding compounds and a brightener in metal plating formulas. Ketjenflex® 2 is a basic starting material in the preparation of melamine formaldehyde molding compounds. Reacted into the resin backbone KETJENFLEX® 2 imparts long term impact resistance and toughness. Ketjenflex® 2 can also be used in other thermoset resins like epoxy and polyurethane based polymers resins.

Bruggolite® FF6 M is the first formaldehyde-free sulfur-based reducing agent which enables adherence to stringent regulatory requirements of emulsion polymers. Recommended pH range is 4 - 8. Effective for main and post-polymerization at temperatures as low as 20°C. Advanced Formaldehyde Free Reducing Agents Formaldehyde-free reducing agents from Brüggemann enable solutions for the latest technical challenges of environmental awareness, rising quality demands, and improved application performance. Our products and techniques enable emulsion polymer producers to improve efficiency with more sustainable raw materials. All offer the following attributes: Formaldehyde and VOC free Increased reactivity – better performance at lower dosage and time Low to zero residual free monomer level Non-yellowing FDA Direct Food Contact Approval Dust-free micro granules

Mosselman DOSS 70 PG is sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate in propylene glycol solution at 70%.

Santicizer® Platinum G-2000 is an efficient bio-based primary plasticizer that offers excellent heat stability, enhanced processability, and lower volatility than traditional General-Purpose Plasticizers. It can be used in techniques such as extrusion, calendaring, injection molding, rotational molding, and spread coating. It can be used in rubbers, epoxy resins, paints and coatings, as well as many other polymers. Santicizer® Platinum G-2000 has earned the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Certified Biobased Product label.

EBECRYL® 117 is a hydroxyl-functional monoacrylate monomer, is recognized for its low odor, excellent adhesion, and heightened reactivity. Primarily employed in UV/EB cured coatings and adhesives, it effectively reduces viscosity and enhances flexibility. With applications in flexography ink, radiation-curable coatings, and inkjet ink, as well as roles in resin manufacturing and other specialty coatings, EBECRYL® 117 stands as a versatile solution in diverse industries.

Mosselman 12-hydroxystearic Acid (61790-39-4, 106-14-9) is a saturated fatty acid derived from hydrogenated castor oil. The hydroxyl groups are responsible for the unique properties and applications.

Avio™ 2426 is synthesized from 100% sustainably sourced biological monomers. It is suitable for a variety of polyurethane applications including cast elastomers, coatings, adhesives, foams and TPUs. Polyurethanes produced with Avio™ 2426 reveal physical properties that rival or surpass traditional, petroleum-based polyesters or polycarbonates. Most notably, AVIOTM 2426 imparts toughness (strength & hardness without a loss of flexibility) combined with adhesion, abrasion resistance, impact resistance and solvent resistance (specifically Skydrol resistance).

Tack-free gel polish top coats are highly desired in the nail coating industry because they provide a durable, high-gloss finish to a manicure without an IPA wipe step. Removing this step from the process saves time and allows the coating to exhibit its natural gloss. Like all nail coatings, tack-free top coats require a gloss finish, superior hardness, and most importantly, low yellowing properties. Bomar has developed a model formula using a new oligomer which provides exceptionally low colop in a tack-free top coat. The model formula requires this new oligomer, a trifunctional methacrylate monomer, a difunctional methacrylate monomer, and photoinitiatop. The formula performed exceptionally well when compared to competitor top coats in areas of yellowness, viscosity, and hardness.

BRC-843SD1 is a difunctional, hydrophobic urethane acrylate which can be formulated to be used in heavy-duty industrial and commercial applications. The resulting tough film makes a functional, nonyellowing, protective single-coating that extends the substrates use-life. BRC-843SD1 is a softer and more flexible version of BRC-843. This oligomer is also tougher then BRC-843. The low water absorption and alkaline resistance make this oligomer perfect for specialty applications in the following industries: aerospace, appliance, automotive, electronic, and medical device.

BR-741D is a low-molecular—weight, difunctional, aliphatic polyester urethane acrylate that can be effectively formulated for adhesion to cold rolled steel, glass, PMMA, PET, PC, and stainless steel. The resulting hard and tough film makes an effective protective glossy coating which will be nonyellowing, abrasion resistant, and have good weatherability. This is the low-viscosity version of BR-741.

USI Chemical Silane USi-2301 improves both adhesion to the substrate and mechanical properties such as flexural strength, tensile strength and modulus of elasticity.

PTSA stands for para toluene sulfonamide. It serves as intermediate in pharmaceuticals and in various chemical processes.

EDC is also used as an intermediate in the manufacture of other chlorinated or fluorinated compounds such as trichloroethane – these halogenated compounds are broadly in industry used as extraction solvents.
