raybo 38 NilFlo is a highly compatible additive for control of sagging and settling in solvent borne systems. The use of RAYBO 38 permits control of sagging and settling with no adverse effects on color, gloss or drying time. It will produce a significant reduction in flow with a minimal increase in viscosity. The maximum effect is evident immediately and remains stable during storage. RAYBO 38 will not produce seeding common to most other grind-in flow control additives. Best results require incorporation into the grind phase.

raybo 6 AntiSag has the superior wetting properties that makes it well suited for use in a wide range of products. It exhibits a range of system compatibility not shared with other materials used for sag control. Puffing agents generally used for sag control can produce viscosity increases in the paint system. RAYBO 6 produces sag and settling control by improved wetting and dispersion rather than by viscosity increase, even with post addition. In controlling settling, RAYBO 6 will not produce side effects such as loss of adhesion, film softening, or reduced gloss associated with the use of anti-settling agents such as stearates, palmitates, and clays. When used as a dispersant, the high wetting capability of RAYBO 6 is particularly effective with difficult to wet pigments such as carbon black and phthalocyanine blue. It is also very effective in dispersing puffy pastes. In high solids systems using high shear for dispersion, RAYBO 6 will produce increased color intensity, fineness of dispersion and decreased dispersion time.

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.
