The VERZONE® Series centers on volatile corrosion inhibitors with a smaller environmental footprint. With superior corrosion inhibition, an ease of use, and economical pricing, these products are applied in a wide variety of industries. Customers around the world rate them very highly. Nitrite-free volatile corrosion inhibitors were also developed to protect the health and safety of working people who use them. They also contribute to better working environments.

Naxonac® products include anionic surfactants, one of the main advantages of phosphate esters is their stability and solubility in alkali systems. They can be used as hydrotropes to couple nonionic surfactants systems which are not soluble and at the same time increase wetting and detergency properties. The presence of the phosphate group imparts some interactions with metallic surfaces, thereby exhibiting some anti-corrosion and metal-adhesion characteristics. They can be used as additives in oil and water-soluble lubricant systems to improve lubricity, anti-frictional properties of the formula. Phosphate esters also find use as emulsifiers in emulsion polymerization.

The Naxaf® naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde condensates are used primarily as dispersants in a wide variety of industrial applications.

PROFLEX PLASTICIZERS are primarily derived from sulfonamide chemistry. These are high-quality resin modifiers which exceptional performance and product quality. Traditional applications for the ProFlex line include fluorescent pigments, melamine-formaldehyde resins, nail lacquers, and printing inks

SILFOAM® is WACKER’s innovative brand for smart foam control products. It covers silicone-based integrated system solutions for regulatingfoam-intensive applications, and thereby optimizing processes and end products. SILFOAM® foam-control systems are the result of a continuous process of applied R&D. SILFOAM® is carefully tested for its compatibility and effectiveness in the customer's formulations, thereby avoiding overfoaming in advance.

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.

Tamol® grades are used as dispersants that offer specialized properties making them ideal for improving electroplating processes. Tamol® product range of BASF, BTC offers products for stabilization and dispersion of aqueous dispersions and emulsions as well as scale inhibitors and inhibitors for dye transfer.

Andifoam is a 100% active, emulsifiable and self-dispersing antifoam concentrates composed of a blend of silicone glycol, polydimethylsiloxanes and silica offer outstanding persistence at a fraction of the usage levels required when using conventional mineral -based antifoams. These pour-able concentrates are particularly useful in processes where high dosing accuracy is desired.

Dehypon® grades are oleochemical sourced fatty alcohol alkoxylates. They are special grades which provide very low foaming properties. The physical form vary from liquid to solid, even granules are available. Dehypon® grades are versatile useable and provide properties such as wetting, soil removal, low foaming and emulsification. Dehypon® low foaming surfactants are used in versatile chemical-technical applications to ensure a smooth process flow. Application fields are besides others in the paper & pulp industry or in the metal treatment industry, especially in metalworking fluids. Also in the wood based fiber production, in textile pre-treatment and in coatings formulations BTC’s low foaming surfactants are used.

Versagel® is an innovative patented system for thickening and gelling hydrocarbon materials. Infinite number of customized rheological properties. Clear colorless hydrophobic thermally reversible without syneresis. Versagel technology is used in thousands of cosmetic, pharmaceutical and personal care products around the world.

LactOil® is 98% fermentable blend containing both quick release ethyl lactate and slow-release long-chain oleaginous materials. Designed for sites where a slow-release substrate is needed (i.e. sites with high mobilization/injection costs), DNAPL source treatment, PRBs, cutoff walls.

PPG HI-SIL® synthetic amorphous precipitated silica products are among the industry’s most trusted and proven products.

Protectol® types are biocides that are rated as active substances under the European Biocidal Products Regulation. Protectol® products are used for human hygiene purposes as well as for the disinfection of surfaces, materials, equipment, and furniture and for veterinary hygiene purposes.

Wilclear Plus® is 61% fermentable blend containing lactate and other fermentable materials and water-soluble nutrients including B-vitamins and yeast factors. Is designed for rapid dechlorination of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons and reduction of certain metals and sites where sluggish microbial activity may be hindering dechlorination.

St. Louis Group offers a wide range of highly effective liquid & powder phosphorus based flame retardants. Specialty dispersions, blends, and masterbatches are available upon request.

MAKON® UD-Series of products are fast wetters due to their C11 branched carbon chain. They are faster wetters than nonylphenol ethoxylates (NP) and tridecyl alcohol ethoxylates (TDA). They also have good initial foam height with fast foam break, useful in applications like industrial clean-in-place and laundry.
