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.

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.

The REFLEX™ Natural pearl series is based on a natural-mica-based substrate. This series is coated with titanium dioxide, iron oxide or a combination of both, and provides high luster, high chroma, opacity and excellent batch consistency. This series includes various products and particle sizes for general purpose applications.

EZ-Blox® is a safe, cost-effective and proven alternative to MEKO. It optimizes the performance of alkyd-based paint and coating systems by preventing a surface skin from forming atop when coming into contact with atmospheric oxygen, thus boosting performance and reducing waste. As a drop-in replacement with a distinct, low toxicity profile, EZ-Blox® enables the easy reformulation of paints and coatings to meet the strictest safety and regulatory standards.

ColourFal Zerø® colorants represent our line of universal VOC-free colorants. A line of colorants not just for those who need an optimal system but for those who care for high-performance, quality colorants. Designed to deliver optimal performance with unsurpassed compatibility, ColourFal Zerø® provides one of the cleanest and richest color palettes available in the market. ColourFal Zerø® colorants can be used to create a fully customized system. Our team will work to create a system tailored to your needs.

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.

BECKOSOL AQ® Alkyd Latex are waterborne alkyds that offer traditional alkyd performance in a near zero VOC waterborne form. These innovative products enable coating suppliers to surpass all current and future VOC regulations while still providing classic performance demanded by consumers.

Intelli-ion® shows excellent performance across automotive, architectural, industrial, aerospace and marine industries.

Products for Water Based Coating and Water Repellants.

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.

SmartHide™ is a low cost substitute for titanium dioxide (TiO2) in paints and coatings. SmartHide has been exhaustively demonstrated to reduce TiO2 use by up to 30% while maintaining all other paint properties – including color, brightness, opacity, durability and sheen. This results in significant raw material savings for manufacturers.

HALOX® Corrosion Inhibitors are effective against flash rusting and in-can corrosion, though the benefits of using these products does not end there. Our HALOX® Corrosion Inhibitors are ideally suited for high gloss, thin film, and clear coat applications. They also provide superior synergy when used in combination with inorganic corrosion inhibitors in traditional coatings. To achieve desired performance of your resin system proper selection of HALOX® Inhibitors is essential.

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.

IMSIL® microcrystalline silica fillers are produced from an inert, naturally occurring alpha quartz with a unique grape-like morphology. Finer micronized grades are useful in formulating higher gloss paints and systems requiring controlled particle top size such as Industrial OEM topcoat coats and non-conductive inks. Intermediate size grades offer ideal and uniform gloss control for topcoats, coil coats and increased inter-coat adhesion between primers and topcoats. Coarser grades offer high solids loading with low viscosity,  texture, anti-skid  and abrasion resistance in industrial floor coatings and exterior deck coatings.

Silicon occurs abundantly in nature in the form of oxide (Silica – SiO2) and forms the main constituent of earth. It is very hard and abrasive in nature

Aspanger ASPOLIT is a special 3-component filler consisting of the multifunctional industrial minerals muscovite, quartz and chlorit. Special wet and dry processes employing the most modern production and quality control technologies.

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.

ECOTINT® Façade is a selection of 7 high exterior durability inorganic colorants optimized to balance cost and performance.
