Brands in Dispersing & Wetting Additives

The FluorN family of fluorosurfactants are widely used as leveling, wetting and foaming agents. Fluorosurfactants lower surface tension and increase water, oil and stain repellency more effectively than hydrocarbon surfactants.

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.

COSMACOL emollients and waxes are high purity lipophilic emollients based on linear and monobranched primary fatty alcohols. They show important dermatological properties and exhibit also a gentle, non-greasy feel. Due to their peculiar hydrophilic characteristics, COSMACOL products like COSMACOL OE or COSMACOL Esters exhibit also excellent spreadability. COSMACOL Esters are ideal formulation components for modern, high quality cosmetics. Due to their high incorporation ability of powders and pigments they are also recommended for make-up products.

Kauropal products are used in decorative overlay paper to impair higher gloss retention and better scratch resistance. These impregnating resins are also used to add functionality to furniture or finish foils & edge bending. They provide better wetting, higher flexibility, higher efficiency and higher hiding power for white decorative films. Kauropal resins are also used for laminate floorings, to enhance antistatic properties and to develop higher efficiency under unlimited shelf-life

Anionic surfactants are negatively charged materials that are available in a variety of chemical types. The main classes being alkyl ether sulfates, alkyl sulfates, alkylbenzene sulfonates, alpha olefin sulfonates, phosphate esters. They are used in a wide range of applications where they provide useful characteristics including, emulsification, solubilisation, wetting, detergency, dispersion and foaming.

Disponil® grades are anionic based surfactants for a wide range of applications where dynamic wetting and solubilising properties are needed. Especially their strong emulsifying and dispersing characteristics are the main property in diverse applications. They are used during the polymerization process are essential for problem-free manufacture, insitu-polymerization stabilization and can also positively influence the dispersion performance in application. Disponil® grades are free of sodium chloride and the remaining salt content of sodium sulfate is reduced to a very low limit. With regard to the 1,4 Dioxan content in fatty alcohol ether sulfates (FES) the level is reduced to a limit depending on the ethoxylation degree. Overall the content is below 150 ppm, whereas the lowest is < 5ppm. Those narrow ranged by-products of the main product are mandatory in sensitive applications like emulsion polymerisation processes. In addition most of the emulsifiers are FDA or BfR (Bundesinstitut für Risikobewertung) approved.

Naxolate® products are anionic surfactants which provide high foaming, detergency and wetting function. The primary uses for these products include household, industrial and institutional cleaners

SILCO® is leveling, wetting and dispersing additives that are essential in printing inks and OPVs to provide pigment wetting, dispersing and stabilization.

Anionic surfactants are negatively charged materials that are available in a variety of chemical types. The main classes being alkyl ether sulfates, alkyl sulfates, alkylbenzene sulfonates, alpha olefin sulfonates, phosphate esters. They are used in a wide range of applications where they provide useful characteristics including, emulsification, solubilisation, wetting, detergency, dispersion and foaming.

DIACARNA™ is a copolymer of α-olefin and maleic anhydride. Applications include as a compounding additive for resin mold lubricant and release agent, compatibilizer and as a binder for thermal transfer inks.

Chemax polyoxyethylated fatty acids are used as emulsifiers and lubricants additives in metal lubricants, textile lubricants, and cosmetic formulations. They are also used as emulsifiers in defoamers and as viscosity control agents in plastisol formulations.

BIO-SOFT® is a nonionic surfactant blend that is an excellent cleaner, degreaser, and detergent. It can be formulated into concentrates and ready-to-use products for household, industrial, and institutional applications.

CLiQSPERSE is an wetting and dispersing agents for non-aqueous systems.
