Brands in Floor Coatings

Basonat® polyisocyanates are crosslinkers for two-component Polyurethane coatings for the automotive and industrial coatings industry. Basonat® harderners have an influence on the curing time of the systems.

IrisECO is our series of water-based high concentrated pigment dispersions for in-plant tinting. Developed for architectural paints, is used also in industrial paints, wood coatings and various other applications.

ECOTINT® SB contains 12 Solvent Based colorants providing full coverage of RAL colors. Their main use is high performance, non-aqueous industrial and maintenance coatings such as construction, furniture lacquers, automotive refinishing, marine coatings, flooring and road marking.

Dispex® dispersing agents are used to wet and stabilize pigments and other particles in pigmented coatings. For formulators they represent an essential component as they provide color strength, gloss, viscosity, stability and prevent sedimentation of particles. They find application in automotive & industrial coatings, furniture & floorings coatings, inks & printing, exterior & interior coatings, wood & trim coatings, and compsites. Additives like our Dispex® range of dispersing agents are used to stabilize the filler distribution within paints and coatings. For paint producers, they represent an essential component as they provide. They can also be used as agrochemical additives (dispersants) for seed treament.

LPA-202™ is a Class "A" flame retardant additive for all latex paints. It covers 200 sq. ft. per gallon with instructed application and can be used as spray or applied by paint roller or brush.

TERACHEM® Epoxy Colorants are designed for use with new-generation 100% solids epoxy coatings systems for high-performance applications with minimal VOC, including high-solids, near-zero VOC, and zero VOC for use in epoxy floor coatings, as well as in adhesives, sealants and elastomers. The Terachem® predispersed pigments are based on epoxy chemistry that provides 100% reactivity in all epoxy-resin formulas, good durability, lightfastness and chemical resistance. These commercially available color concentrates allow the coatings formulator to take advantage of new technology without the need to develop and produce in-house colorant.

Matt to ultra-matte paint surfaces require matting agents with the highest efficiency. That’s were synthetic, micronized silica of the sylysia range come into play. They are characterized by a controlled porosity and a narrow particle size distribution. The extensive range of unmodified or surface-treated grades makes sylysia matting powders suitable for many modern applications.In addition to pure surface matting, sylysia silica are also used for other surface effects such as anti-blocking and improved printability of surfaces.

ECOTINT® Façade is a selection of 7 high exterior durability inorganic colorants optimized to balance cost and performance. These façade colorants are highly resistant against UV radiation, alkali and acids with exceptional weather fastness and are perfect for outdoor applications: exterior paints, plasters, Exterior Insulation Finishing Systems (EIFS), silicon and silicate paints.

Under the brand family GENIOSIL®, WACKER offers organofunctional silanes and innovative silane modified polymers for bonding and sealing. Their most outstanding property is the fact that they combine environmental advantages with performance benefits.

DOMALKYD are solventborne alkyd resins, water-reducible alkyds and alkyd dispersions.

ECONYL® colorants are highly concentrated binder and solvent free ready to use water based pigment dispersions. The high tinting strength, VOC and APEO free colorants are recommended for in-plant tinting of various water and solvent based systems. Maximum stability and dispersability is guaranteed due to a patented wetting and dispersing agent platform.

MicroWhite products are pigmented polymers for adding colored effects to paints and coatings.

Santicizer® Plasticizers offer all the benefits of high solvating plasticizers including compatibility in multiple polymer systems such as Polysulfide, PVC and Polyurethane. Because of their high efficiency, less energy is required to fuse PVC formulations. These materials are well suited for plastisol applications, but can easily be used in almost any polymer system that requires additional flexibility and softness.

IrisColor is our series of universal pigment dispersions specific for architectural paints and enamels for interiors and exteriors, formulated to be used for in-plant tinting.

SafSil® products are high performance functional fillers that contain less than 0.1 % respirable crystalline silica and are commonly used in both water and solvent-based paints and coatings. SafSil® may be used successfully to replace many common fillers such as ground silica, nepheline syenite, calcium carbonate, and talc.

GENIOSIL® STP-E are silane-crosslinking organic polymers that combine properties typical of both silicones and polyurethanes. They are highly versatile yet easy and safe to use as they are isocyanate and solvent-free and  in case of the α-polymers  do not require tin-catalysts for curing.

Resilient, medium viscosity unsaturated polyester designed for sandable, flexible wood coatings in UV cured systems.

DOMOPOL are solventborne saturated polyesters, water-reducible polyesters.

Unique composites of polyethylene waxes and REACH compliant PTFE that provide a high degree of surface lubricity, abrasion resistance, and film toughness. These proprietary formulations offer a synergistic combination of properties for superior formulation flexibility in inks, paints, and coatings. Polyfluo 900 is an LDPE/PTFE composite fortified with ceramic beads for improved burnish and abrasion resistance. Polyfluo 523AL is an HDPE/PTFE composite reinforced with alumina nanopowder for maximum scratch, mar, and scuff resistance.
