TYTAN™ AP20

Chemical Family:Ketones
Functions:Adhesion Promoter, Coupling Agent
End Uses:Solventborne Ink, Solventborne Coating
Features:Good Pigment Dispersion, Improved Stability, Good Heat Seal Strength

TYTAN™ AP20 is primarily designed to strongly increase adhesion of solvent based inks to a variety of plastics used for food packaging or other purposes, but also pigment distribution and heat sealing resistance are improved allowing perfect hiding power and appearance of printing on otherwise problematic substrates.

TYTAN™ AP310

Chemical Family:Chemical Mixtures & Blends
Functions:Catalyst, Crosslinking Agent, Adhesion Promoter, Coupling Agent
Reaction Type:Transesterification
Labeling Claims:Acetylacetonate-free, Phosphate Ester-free

TYTAN™ AP310 is a mixture of titanium alkoxide and hydroxy acid ester that can be used as an adhesion promoter for printing, a crosslinker for paints, and a catalyst for esterification. TYTAN™ AP310 shows delayed reaction at ambient temperature and thus facilitates storage stability of inks.

TYTAN™ AP910

Chemical Family:Zirconium Compounds, Esters
Functions:Coupling Agent, Catalyst, Crosslinking Agent, Adhesion Promoter
Reaction Type:Transesterification
Labeling Claims:Food Contact Acceptable

TYTAN™TM AP910 is an ethyl citrate zirconium that can be formulated as an adhesion promoter for printing inks, a crosslinker for paints, as well as a catalyst for esterification. Due to its proprietary chelated structure, TYTAN™ AP910 shows a delayed reaction at ambient temperature and thus facilitates the storage stability of inks. Compared with organo-titanate adhesion promoters, it shows good compatibility with PVB, CAB, and CAP inks and provides minimal discoloration during the sterilizing process in the printing of milk pouches.

TYTAN™ APZ900

Chemical Family:Zirconium Compounds
Functions:Catalyst, Crosslinking Agent, Coupling Agent, Adhesion Promoter
Reaction Type:Transesterification
Labeling Claims:Food Contact Acceptable

TYTAN™ APZ900 is a zirconium complex with α-hydroxy acid ester that can be used as an adhesion promoter for printing, crosslinker for paints and as a catalyst for esterification. Due to its chelated structure, TYTAN™ APZ900 shows a delayed reaction at ambient temperature and thus facilitates the storage stability of inks. Compared with organo-titanate adhesion promoters, it shows good compatibility with PVB, CAB, and CAP inks and provides minimal discoloration during the sterilizing process in the printing of milk pouches.

TYTAN™ AQ33

Chemical Family:Titanium Compounds
Functions:Catalyst, Crosslinking Agent, Coupling Agent, Adhesion Promoter
Reaction Type:Transesterification

TYTAN™ AQ33 is titanium ammonium lactate that is used as an esterification and transesterification catalyst for the manufacture of unsaturated polyester, polyester, PET, PTT, and PBT when water content is higher. TYTAN™ AQ33 can also be used as an adhesion promoter or cross-linking agent for water-based coatings on various surfaces.

TYTAN™ AQ5000

Functions:Catalyst
Reaction Type:Polyesterification, Transesterification
Chemical Family:Titanium Compounds
Applicable Processes:Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) Manufacturing, Polyester Manufacturing, Polytrimethylene Terephthalate (PTT) Manufacturing, Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Manufacturing

TYTAN™ AQ5000 is a proprietary titanium complex that is used as an advanced polyesterification and transesterification catalyst based on the latest titanate technology. TYTAN™ AQ5000 is recommended for the manufacture of unsaturated polyester, polyester, PET, PTT, and PBT without sacrificing performance when the water content increases in the system. Therefore, TYTAN™ AQ5000 delivers reliable and high performance during the processing.

TYTAN™ AQZ30

Chemical Family:Alkanolamines
Functions:Rheology Modifier, Crosslinking Agent, Coupling Agent, Adhesion Promoter
Labeling Claims:Environmentally Friendly
Synonyms:Tetrakis(Triethanolaminato)Zirconium(Iv)

TYTAN™ AQZ30 is a zirconium triethanolamine complex that readily hydrolyses in water to produce a hydroxyl zirconium chelate. This will readily crosslink with -OH and -COOH groups in solvent and aqueous systems to form strong gels and has the potential to act as an adhesion promoter.

TYTAN™ AQZ60

Chemical Family:Alkanolamines
Functions:Rheology Modifier, Crosslinking Agent, Coupling Agent, Adhesion Promoter
Synonyms:Tetrakis(Triethanolaminato)Zirconium(Iv)

TYTAN™ AQZ60 is a water-stable zirconium-based chelate that is effective in crosslinking -OH and -COOH groups. It works with a range of carbohydrate and functionalized polymers, acting as a crosslinker and potential adhesion promoter. The main application for TYTAN™ AQZ60 is in oil and gas fracturing fluids, as a replacement for alkanolamine-based zirconium derivatives, to deliver high viscosity and temperature-stabilized functionalized guar derivatives for secondary and tertiary recovery of oil and gas wells. It may also be used as a potential crosslinker in waterborne printing inks to improve film strength and adhesion.
