Joncryl® styrene acrylic resins and emulsions are the key components of high performance inks and coatings. Water-based inks and coatings formulated with Joncryl® products are a good sustainable, consistent quality alternative to solvent-based products. The Joncryl® range contains acrylic and styrene-acrylic RC emulsions, acrylic colloidals, crosslinking agents, polyethylene waxes for water-based ink & overprint varnish. Joncryl® ECO is a product range of glycol-ether-free and food-contact compliant dispersions. Joncryl® ECO types are meeting the stringent demands of food and packaging applications, such as for the tobacco and the confectionary markets.

Irganox® performance additives are used as antioxidants for automotive & industrial coatings. Hindered phenolic (primary AO) deactivate free radicals formed during thermal oxidation. They are multipurpose for broad temperature ranges and are mostly used to increase long term thermal stability. Irganox® types are antioxidants which help extend the life and improve the performance of industrial and engine lubricants. The manufacturing industry benefits from longer equipment life and fewer maintenance shutdowns. Automotive lubricants benefit from longer drain intervals and improved fuel economy. Many of our antioxidants are FDA regulated to formulate incidental food contact lubricants and greases for use in food-handling and manufacturing equipment.

Tinuvin® light stabilizers show best performances regarding their thermal stability, substrate compatibility, volatility, absorption range, or regulatory classification as needed. BTC’s Tinuvin® light stabilizers provide effective protection against UV absorption for inks and printing.

MagnaPearl® is a range of mica-based titanium-coated pigments that exhibit a high degree of whiteness combined with brilliance and hiding. They are available in a wide variety of particle sizes creating extraordinary optical effects ranging from a fine-grained luster to a bold silvery-white sparkle. MagnaPearl® effect pigments are pearlescent pigments that are specially engineered. They are available in a variety of particle sizes. BTC’s effect pigments find use in a wide field for the coloration of plastics. They are also suitable for a variety of other industries including the automotive industry as well as the agriculture, building & construction, electrical & electronics, packaging, and textiles & fibers industries. They find also applications in newly emerging markets.

Rheovis® types are rheology modifiers that enable formulators to adjust the flow behavior of their automotive & industrial coatings products. That way they benefit from improved viscosity behavior and application characteristics.
