Extra strength fluorescent ink bases; one base for use in both conventional and hybrid UV systems

Kauramin impregnating resins are condensates of urea and formaldehyde and are used for the coating of laminate. They are characterized by their particular visual appearance as well as by excellent adhesiveness and high scratch resistance.

AGOCEL® product portfolio guarantees reliable processing and environmentally friendly optimization of mineral building material systems and architectural paints.

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.

Macopol alkyd resins can be modified during the manufacturing process to provide enhanced properties.They can be modified with:acrylic monomers for better weatherability (UV resistance); styrene for faster dry; vinyl toluene for early water resistance and better aliphatic solvent compatibility. It is sed in:automotive refinish; aerosol paints; quick-dry enamels and provides excellent exterior durability, fast dry and good adhesion to metal surfaces for automotive applications; good hardness and dry properties for architectural applications.

FoamStar® products are used as defoamers. BTC’s FoamStar® defoamers suppress and destroy foam and its negative effects during inks and printing applications. By removing or inhibiting air bubbles they are important process aids throughout the production as well as the applications process. Manufacturers benefit from foam-free production processes by reaching their desired results much quicker.

Finely Milled, Powdered Biogenic Aragonite Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3)

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. Our colorants are binder-free, VOC-free, APE-free, formaldehyde-free and allow the final product to meet the most stringent health and environmental regulations. IrisECO colorants are produced based on strict quality specifications for perfect reproducibility of color strength, tone and rheology.

GENIOSIL® XT grades expand the formulation capabilities with silane-terminated polymers. These new grades have been optimized to be low in viscosity but displaying a high number of silyl groups per unit volume. Consequently, the new polymers build up a solid, yet elastic network as they cure. The resulting adhesive layers and waterproofing membranes based on GENIOSIL® XT attain high inner strength, remain extremely elastic and exhibit outstanding tear resistance. Thus they are the products of choice for industrial applications.

Navajo Brand® pumice products are available in particle size distributions ranging from 6-mesh to 5 microns. Their high brightness, purity, and low specific gravity offer formulators unique opportunities for superior performance.

Euronyls® are high-quality, aqueous pigment preparations based on a wide range of organic pigments. The various product lines provide formulations of different types of tensides (surface-active agents) (see overview). The preserving agents used are free of formaldehyde-containing, -releasing or -forming substances.

NorthStar Elastomers, LLC, manufactures and markets several forms of Tirecycle™, for different purposes and markets. Treatment K is an activating adhesive polymer, while T 608 for tires and MBS 800 for hoses are basic Tirecycle™ masterbatch compounds. All can be tested and adjusted for your specific master batch manufacturing and performance needs. The fundamental product is “a pre-cured, engineered, particulate elastomer with a coherent, homogeneous, reactive surface; ready to bond into any appropriate virgin rubber or masterbatch.” Tirecycle™ is an advanced material, which upcycles and rejuvenates rubber crumb, to perform as virgin masterbatch replacement or equivalent. Made predominantly from tires, but EPDM, neoprene and many other rubbers and plastics will also work. Many production wastes and used materials may be repeatedly recycled via the Tirecycle™ process, and still maintain performance.

Michem Dispersion Urethanes are water based polyurethane dispersions that can enhance toughness, scratch resistance, water resistance and flexibility of coatings. Michem Dispersion Urethanes are useful for industrial wood, concrete, and metal substrates.

LIONOGEN is a multi-purpose carbazole violet pigment, with a bright reddish shade,very good dispersion properties, and high color strength.

FiberStar polymers are cold-water soluble, low-viscosity, non-ionic polymers that are natural polysaccharides. They’re designed to enhance functional properties, including adhesion/binding, water retention, rheology and viscosity. And, FiberStar products are excellent choices for binding and adhesive applications where economics is important.

VISIOMER® Specialty Methacrylates offer an innovative way to customize product properties for various end use applications. With a range of alkyl/aryl (meth)acrylates, aminofunctional monomers, methacrylamides, ether methacrylates, crosslinkers, HEMA for contact lenses, wet adhesion monomers and specialty intermediates, VISIOMER® has become a trusted partner in designing customized products to meet specific needs.

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.
