raybo 85 Rustib is a cationic wetting agent. Because of its polarity, it is attracted to the metal surface forming a mono-molecular hydrophobic layer. This affinity increases adhesion and resistance to corrosion undercutting in coatings containing RAYBO 85. When added to coatings pigmented with transition metals containing pigments like phthalocyanine blue, insure that the surfactant demand has been met. If it has not, RAYBO 85 will be absorbed onto the pigment, reducing corrosion protection.

raybo 57 OptiSperse HS is a broad spectrum dispersant. It is equally effective in promoting the dispersion of both low and high HLB value pigments. The highly effective dispersant action of RAYBO 57 will often produce reduced mill time while improving color development, gloss and reducing puffing tendencies. RAYBO 57 is 100% solids making it very useful in formulating high solids solvent borne and water reducible VOC compliant coatings. It provides an opportunity to use a dispersant which does not introduce solvent to the formulation. It can also be use as the sole grinding vehicle in the production of tinting pastes. RAYBO 57 can also be used successfully in solvent inks and caulks. RAYBO 57 is useful in a wide range of solvent and water reducible systems.

raybo 3 AntiSilk is a balanced combination of primarily volatile compounds effective in controlling silking and floating. It is also useful in the control of “fisheyes”, craters, and orange peeling. RAYBO 3 leaves the film during the drying process ensuring the absence of solids which might have deleterious effects on coating properties. It is particularly useful in coating formulations containing small amounts of organic pigments in combination with large amounts of inorganic pigments such as TiO2. RAYBO 3 is an effective fluidizer producing better atomization and subsequent orange peel control in polymers such as automotive acrylics. RAYBO 3 is also effective in eliminating pigment flooding. The use of RAYBO 3 produces immediate results which will remain stable during storage. It is effective in most solvent systems and can also be used in water reducible alkyds.
