Products

WBWADA-60 is a unique blend of a functional capped amine with tall oil fatty acid. The resulting product is a triangular shaped wetting agent with high efficiency toward alkaline based pigments. The key to the utilization is to maintain maximum mobility of the grind paste during initial incorporation of pigment. Resin-free grinds should utilize some co-solvent if possible to improve dispersion quality. Grinding in non-neutralized resin and co-solvent at the lowest resin solids as possible, provides the most suitable grinding medium. Continue to add pigment until viscosity reaches 100-135 KU at 100-130°F. Stabilization with neturalized resin after achieving the grind specification will help to avoid pigment shocking. The order of pigment addition should be primary colors and high oil absorption pigments followed by extenders and rheology modifiers. Systems include: Solution acrylics, polyesters, alkyds and epoxies.

WRACLA is an anionic fluorosurfactant designed for use in water-based and water-reducible systems. Through improved wetting. WRACLA can be used to enhance adhesion to chalky surfaces in aqueous coatings.

HSWADA-60 is a unique blend of a functional capped amine with tall oil fatty acid. The resulting product is a triangular shaped wetting agent with high efficiency toward alkaline based pigments. The key to the utilization is to maintain maximum mobility of the grind paste during initial incorporation of pigment. This can be achieved by choosing a resin that has good wetting characteristics and provides the lowest viscosity at the maximum solids. Continue to add pigment until viscosity reaches 100-135 KU @ 120-150°F. The order of pigment addition should be primary colors and high oil absorption pigments followed by extenders and rheology modifiers. Bentonite clays can be activated by HSWADA-60 to produce a strong consistent gel. We recommend pre-activation and quality control checks to assure uniform gel formation. Systems include: alkyds, drying oils, amino resins, vinyls, acrylics, oil modified urethanes, polyesters, epoxies, and epoxy esters.

HSWADA-B is a unique blend of amine chemistry with dimerized acids. The resulting product is a triangular shaped wetting agent with high efficiency toward acidic based pigments. The top of the triangle offers a weak functional group with an affinity for alkaline pigments. This chemistry should be considered when both acid and base pigments are present. The key to the utilization is to maintain maximum mobility of the grind paste during initial incorporation of pigment. This can be achieved by choosing a resin that has good wetting characteristics and provides the lowest viscosity at the maximum solids. Continue to add pigment until viscosity reaches 100-135 KU at 120-150°F. The order of pigment addition should be primary colors and high oil absorption pigments followed by extenders and rheology modifiers. Refer to HSWADA-60 for activation of bentonite clays. Systems include: alkyds, drying oils, amino resins, vinyls, acrylics, oil modified urethanes, polyesters, epoxies and epoxy esters and polyesters.

901-GDA-2 is a Polyvinyl Isobutyl Ether Solution. Systems for this silicone-free additive are: acrylic resins, alkyds (long, med., short oils), polyamide, polyester and urethane.

HSWADA is a unique blend of a pale tall oil fatty acid with moderate rosin acid content and an anionic wetting and dispersing agent designed for solids non-aqueous systems. Systems include: alkyds, drying oils, amino resins, vinyls, acrylics, oil modified urethanes, polyesters, and epoxy esters.

ASASWA is a highly modified reactive polyamide resin solution that is designed for: acid-catalyzed, alkyds (short, med., long oils), epoxy, epoxy ester, polyurethane and high solids polyester systems.
