The VINNAPAS® eco product line stands for polymer dispersions, dispersible polymer powders and solid resins derived from renewable raw materials via the biomass balance approach. VINNAPAS® eco grades are chemically identical to the corresponding basic VINNAPAS® products. VINNAPAS® eco dispersions, dispersible polymer powders and solid resins are manufactured using the biomass balance approach. This means that fossil raw materials are entirely replaced in the supply chain by renewable raw materials that are certified as sustainable. WACKER uses bio-based acetic acid that is a byproduct of the wood-processing industry and is certified as sustainable by PEFC® (Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification). The bio-based acetic acid is introduced at the beginning of the production cycle. The biomass balance approach mathematically determines the percentage of dispersions, dispersible polymer powders and solid resins made from renewable (non-fossil) raw materials. VINNAPAS® eco grades are certified to the REDcert2 standard and audited by TÜV NORD, an independent German technical inspectorate.

SYCO 570® is an innovative high-performance wetting agent, APEO free, which has high efficiency in color evolution, provides excellent leveling, reduces the incidence of spatter and prevents pigment stratification. It also has the great advantage of not freezing at low temperatures (above 5 °C).

LDA® is also an effective additive for the stabilization of white base paints and enhances color acceptance to eliminate flooding and floating when tinting the bases with universal colorants.

Pergopak® flatting and matting agents are organic thermoset polymethyl urea resins (PMU) offering significantly different performance advantages and benefits versus typical silica and polypropylene type flatting agents. Pergopak products help formulators of industrial coatings, inks and overprint varnishes to achieve a higher performing balance of low gloss, rheology, abrasion resistance, coin-marking, water resistance, chemical resistance, heat resistance and soft feel - that they are unable to achieve with silica or wax flatting agents alone.

Staybelite is the glycerol ester of partially hydrogenated wood rosin, specially processed for superior taste and odor characteristics.

The Zavod Kronakril® actively supports the import substitution program as well as development of the PWM (paintwork materials) market in Russia.

Often, fillers have to meet very special requirements. In such cases not only good dispersion characteristics are of importance, but also mechanical and dynamic properties of the final products. Improved electrical insulation resistance, better aging and fluid resistance in many materials and improved anticorrosion properties have a crucial role to play in many areas. At Hoffmann Mineral, we developed Aktisil to meet such customer requirements. This special filler is made by treating the surface of Neuburg Siliceous Earth with chemical agents, mostly silanes. The reaction by-products (e.g. alcohol) formed during the manufacture of the different products of Aktisil are largely removed right away during the process. The coupling reaction fixes the silane to the surface of the filler. Any undesirable side-effects that can occur during mixing by direct addition of the silane are virtually eliminated. So the customer can choose from a complete product range of many different types of Aktisil. This is the result of many years of in-house experience and of close cooperation with customers. Know-how for users’ benefit.

SLG offers chlorinated flame retardants that have synergy with antimony trioxide.

The Gabrosa granular grades are characterized by a lump free dispersion and fast dissolution in water. Gabrosa adhesives can be applied easily with a brush or pasting machine, exhibit excellent wet tack and (re-)positioning properties, have a more than sufficient open time and adhere strong on all kind of surfaces. Nouryon is supplier of Blisterfree wallpaper adhesives. Due to their excellent properties the base products can be used as standalone adhesive. To optimize requirements the Gabrosa grades can also be used in blends.

NACURE® acid catalysts accelerate the amino crosslinked reaction by reducing the temperature and time needed to cure the system. These systems are commonly used for primer and top coat formulations in the auto OEM market. Selecting the proper NACURE acid catalyst could improve the crosslinking of the final film. These tough high performance films can exhibit improved moisture/corrosion resistance, higher gloss, excellent exterior durability and improved adhesion.

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

Rostabil series – phosphite thermal stabilizers – provide unique protection against degradation during processing and entire life-cycle of plastics.Considered as the most effective co-stabilizers exhibit outstanding thermal stabilization with primary antioxidants.Dedicated to rigid and flexible PVC industry, also used in powder coatings, polyurethane foams, thermosets and rubber industry.

Kwark® is used as an additive / raw material and mixed in various formulations in order to improve key properties of the final product. Kwark® is available under several particle size distributions to match various applications. Incorporate Kwark® in your products and base materials to benefit from its properties. Kwark® is available in six particle size distributions from 0.01 mm to 3.5 mm. Packaging could be in bags, in big bags (FIBC) or loose bulk material. It comes in two forms: Granules or Powders.

Tamanol is an environmentally friendly water-based (solvent-free) emulsion tackifier. It is the industry's first environmentally friendly water-based (solvent-free) emulsion tackifier that can be used as an additive in an adhesive to increase its adhesion. This can be used with olefin polymers that inherently have poor adhesive properties to make them stickier. It is used for various types of polymers, such as acrylic, EVA, chloroprene and rubber-based polymers.
