KRONOS is the TiO₂ company. We take pride in making the world brighter with the most effective whitening agent in the world – titanium dioxide. This inorganic compound pigment makes hundreds of things white – from your computer mouse to the paint on your wall. Paper, toothpaste, sunscreen, cosmetics and just about any other commonplace item colored white contains KRONOS TiO₂. TiO₂ also makes colors as brilliant as they can be.

LPR® is a uniquely processed film forming polysaccharide resin. It is a coactive resin, which will emulsify and stabilize water in solvent-based alkyd enamels, stains, and primers. LPR76® is Lorama’s most versatile polysaccharide resin and has been used in a number of patented and innovative products.

Bacote® 20 series Stabilized Ammonium Zirconium Carbonate is a highly effective crosslinker. It crosslinks with all commonly used binders to improve the surface structures strength by reducing the amount of weakly bonded particles available on the paper surface. This certain characteristic is of value to coated papers and offset printing. As well Bacote 20 crosslinks instantly to the binder, offering a rapid cure time in the drying section of the paper process, it is compatible with practically all coating and press formulations.

Talc is mined on every continent. The best quality Talcs enjoy worldwide markets. These are the only Talcs that CB Chrystal Co. sells. Different grades and qualities provide a variety of properties that are of use by many industries.

KTL series can be used widely, with a range of coating thickness(1 – 100µm), and coatings(glossy or mat), printing inks. Since particle size distributions of our products are narrow, they excel in dispersibility, and can also be used for the clear top coat.

Denso Paste™ is a soft brown petrolatum primer containing moisture displacing corrosion inhibiting compounds for application by stiff brush or gloved hand at normal ambient temperature. It does not dry, harden or crack.

Scent-a-Flex™ is a patented microencapsulated ink or varnish that releases a fragrance when touched. The scent can be generic (i.e., strawberry or chocolate) or specific (i.e., Smucker’s Strawberry or Hershey’s chocolate).

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.

Ti-Pure™ titanium dioxide (TiO₂) from Chemours strives to make the world brighter, more durable, and efficient by tackling some of society’s greatest challenges through TiO₂ innovation and reliability. For nearly a century, we have produced and delivered high-quality TiO₂ for customers around the globe in coatings, plastics, and laminates applications. Guided by industry-leading innovation, technical expertise, and continued collaboration, we’re committed to moving our customers and our planet forward.

DIACRON™ are saturated copolymerized polyester resins used for coatings, inks, and adhesive applications. They have good adhesion to metals, polyester film, polycarbonate, and can be cross-linked with isocyanates, melamine, and epoxies. *DIACRON™ is provided by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, a member of the Mitsubishi Chemical Group.

VANCRYL® is a high solids colloidal dispersion that can be neutralized with ammonia or other alkaline materials to provide an outstanding vehicle for corrugated printing ink applications. This product, at 40% solids, reduces the cost in ink systems based on pre-neutralized colloidal acrylics.

Texicryl® emulsion used to enhance the workability and technical performance of products being supplied into the building and decoration market.A diverse range of thickeners and binders for the Artist Colors market. It can also be used in water-based styrene acrylic emulsion polymers and solid resins specifically developed for graphic art applications, as a rheology modifiers for Hand Cleanser applications.With over 60 years’ experience, our range of PVA / acrylic binders and inverse emulsion thickeners deliver high performance in textile and furnishing products.

SOLESPHERE™ microsphere silica gels are environmentally safe, non-nanoparticle, non-plastic, non-petroleum ingredients that enhance the performance of skincare and cosmetics. They can be used in oil-in-water, water-in-oil and anhydrous formulations to provide UV boost, reduce greasiness and stickiness, minimize pores, absorb oil and perspiration, improve spreadability and provide a matte appearance.

The SILRES® brand comprises a wide range of silicones for coatings, paints and construction applications. The portfolio has been developed and continuously improved since the 1950's when the first silicone resins for building protection originated in WACKER laboratories. It features not only time-tested and innovative products, but also tailored solutions for a host of applications, climates and substrates. And it is supported by a range of extensive services available from our technical centers worldwide which provide further customization and customer-specific options.

Products for Graphic Arts

Denso Paste HT™ is a soft brown petrolatum paste containing moisture displacing corrosion inhibiting compounds for application by stiff brush or gloved hand. It does not dry, harden or crack.

Hydreau dispersions combine the high performance of polyester chemistry with the zero VOC capabilities of a dispersion.Unlike conventional emulsions, these water-based dispersions contain no surfactant to interfere with coating performance.

FMSIL fumed silica is a highly pure, nanoparticle size silicon dioxide available as untreated hydrophilic and surface-treated using different organosilanes hydrophobic types. FMSIL fumed silica acts as an efficient and reliable rheological as well as suspension aid, carrier viscosity modifier in emulsion, and also as a mattifying agent.

Malkyd is a tackifier, printing ink and paints resin with relatively high acid value and slightly wider molecular weight distribution. It is mainly used as a painting resin.
