At 90% active in Aromatic 100 solvent, Tallicin® Grinding Vehicle 1550 is recommended for high solids dispersions without sacrificing such important criteria as viscosity, pigment loading, compatibility, color development and acceptance. An exceptional grinding resin, the product offers broad compatibility with a variety of resins, solvents and pigments.

Teraflow® 5330 is designed for nitrocellulose and acid-cured systems, Tallicin® 5330 improves flow, leveling and slip properties. It also improves scratch and mar resistance.

Rid-O-Foam® 4050 - An exceptionally efficient de-aerator and bubble release agent for polyurethanes, both two-component and one-component systems. Effective in eliminating surface defects and promoting good flow and leveling.

Tallicin® 3000 is designed to extend the pot life of an aliphatic two-component polyurethane system where the isocyanate is the trimer type. Tallicin® 3000 is added to the polyol component and retards the reaction between the hydroxyl groups and the isocyanate groups. Tallicin® 3000 is fugitive from the film and may extend dry time in polyester systems.

Tallicin® 4550 is designed as an optical clarifier and brightener for water-based polyesters, polyurethanes, acrylics and epoxies. Clear coatings containing Tallicin® 4550 offer exceptional clarity over natural surfaces such as wood, concrete, sandstone as well as white or light-colored surfaces.

At 100% active with a well-balanced surface-active capability, Teraflow® 1000 provides smoother films, allowing the application of thinner coatings, and contributes to substrate wetting, improvement of gloss, and recoat adhesion. Its novel pigment-affinic functionality, allows the formulator to optimize the dispersion of almost all pigments and extenders. It is soluble in ketones such as MEK and MIBK.

Teraflow® P-1000 is designed to promote the control of orangepeel and other surface defects in powder coatings. It dramatically improves flow and leveling, reduces cratering and pinholes and provides improved pigment dispersion for epoxies, hybrids, TGIC and PRIMID powder coatings systems.

Tallicin® P-1400 is offered in powder form, is used to correct problems of flooding, floating and silking in solvent-based systems. It is compatible with a variety of coatings, including air-dry and baking alkyds, two-component systems, lacquers, etc. Tallicin® P-1400 is also effective with a broad range of pigments and pigment combinations.

Tallicin® 3100 acts as an anti-gelling additive for solvent-based vinyl and vinyl-acrylic paints. It can also be used to restore gelled vinyl paints by breaking the gel and stabilizing the paint against further gellation. Typical use levels for stability are 0.3%-0.7% of total weight while 0.5%-1.2% may be required to break existing gel.

Tallicin® 4000 provides the combination of anti-crater properties with bubble release and flow. Finishes that require high D.O.I. and a defect-free finish, such as automotive coatings, benefit from Tallicin® 4000.

Teraflow® 5301 imparts mar resistance and slip to coatings surfaces. It is used to protect coatings films from scratches and abrasion, while reducing orange peel and cratering.

Tallicin® 1525 allows higher pigment loading than pure acrylic grinding vehicles while possessing a Tg below ambient room temperatures. Tallicin® 1525 is less expensive than pure acrylic grinding vehicles and has a lower demand for co-resin in a pigment dispersion. Tallicin® 1525 will provide product improvement with a reduction in cost.

Tallicin® 1535 provides high-quality dispersions with inorganic pigments, organic pigments, fillers and silicas. Tallicin® 1535 is compatible with a wide variety of resins, including acrylics, alkyds, urethanes, polyesters, vinyls, nitrocellulose and epoxies. At 50% active in Aromatic 100 solvent, Tallicin® 1535 is particularly effective as the sole vehicle in the grind, eliminating the need for surfactants, and minimizes flocculation.

Tallicin® 1512 is designed to produce very high quality pigment dispersions in a wide variety of coatings, inks and plastic systems at higher solids than conventional dispersants and grinding vehicles. When used in conjunction with the existing resin in a formulation, Tallicin® 1512 typically lowers the viscosity of the pigment paste, often provides a higher pigment loading for the system, and can also produce a finished product after let-down that has extremely effective anti-settling characteristics.

Tallicin® 1555 is a block co-polymer designed as a grinding vehicle for high-quality pigment dispersions having broad compatibility with binders commonly used in coatings and inks. At 55% active in PM Acetate, Tallicin® 1555 produces exceptional color development when used in conjunction with Tallicin® 3405 and Tallicin® K-2.

Teraflow® 5300 is recommended for use in baking enamels, furniture coatings and catalyzed coatings systems, Tallicin® 5300 imparts slip and mar resistance, promotes gloss and surface flow, and reduces cratering and orange peel.

Teraflow® 1500 imparts excellent flow and leveling to solvent based coatings. Tallicin® 1500 suppresses the tendency of baking finishes toward bubbling, cratering and pinholing. It also is used as a brushing aid to improve wet edge, flow and surface wetting often giving a spray-applied look to a brush or roller-applied coating.

Teraflow® 5000 contributes to a smooth film in water-based latex systems, urethanes, water-reducible and water-dispersible alkyd and polyester formulations for both air-dry and baking applications. At 40% active, the product offers a well-balanced surface-active functionality that provides an excellent combination of hydrophilic and hydrophobic attributes, allowing the formulator to optimize the dispersion of almost all pigments and extenders.

Tallicin® 4500 acts as an optical clarifier and whitener in solvent-based polyesters, polyurethanes, acrylics, epoxies and UV-cured coatings systems. Clear coatings containing Tallicin® 4500 offer exceptional clarity over natural surfaces such as wood, concrete, and sandstone, as well as white or light-colored surfaces.

Tallicin® 1510 is a 50% active, specialty acrylic resin designed to produce pigment dispersions for automotive quality finishes and with exceptional compatibility with a wide variety of resins. When used alone or in conjunction with the existing resin in a formulation, Tallicin® 1510 typically lowers the viscosity of the pigment paste or provides a higher pigment loading for the system. In addition, Tallicin® 1510 can also produce a finished product after let-down that has extremely effective anti-settling characteristics.
