• Flamebloc EG

Flamebloc EG is a graphite-based fire retardant providing superior intumescent thermal barrier protection in both water0 and solvent-based formulations. This free flowing FR additive has good chemical resistance, is easy to use, and compatible with most resins and raw materials.

• BSI 189

BSI 189 is a low odor, zero VOC, greener alternative dispersing agent for water-based systems approved under FDA ( 21 CFR) 176.170. BSI 189 is a highly effective sodium polyacrylate dispersant when used in difficult to grind pigments such as carbon black, reds, yellows, and oranges. BSI 189 has been proven to work well with reactive and functional pigments used for corrosion protection and flame retardancy.

• Zephrym ColorFX

Zephrym ColorFX is a novel amine functional dispersant technology that allows for the development of coatings with richer, deeper and truer colors. Additionally, Zephrym ColorFX offers longer stability and lower viscosity. It readily meets the challenge of using high performance pigments, such as carbon black, in solvent borne formulations.

• B-Tough C2x

A challenge for epoxy formulators is to combine flexibility and hardness without negatively impacting other properties. Croda introduces B-Tough C2x, an epoxy functional toughening agent for epoxy coatings in protective heavy-duty outdoor coating applications. B-Tough C2x offers improved flexibility while maintaining hardness and excellent impact resistance, even at low temperatures.

Additives offered: HASE thickeners, HEUR thickeners, mi-crospheres, surface-active agents, surfactants and dispersing agents (nonionic), surfactants and dispersing agents, texturiz-ing agents, associative thickeners, cellulosics, viscosity modifiers, wetting agents.

•ACRYSOL RM-400 and ACRYSOL RM- 995 Rheology
Modifiers

ACRYSOL RM-400 and ACRYSOL RM- 995 Rheology Modifiers are easy-pouring HEURs that offer excellent sag-flow balance, higher film build and uniformity that facilitates better applied hide, with no added surfactant and no need for HMHEC. Features include robust color development and stability and improved roller application.

• TAMOL 2011 Dispersant

TAMOL 2011 Dispersant is a hydrophobic copolymer that is easy to handle and incorporate into architectural coating formulations. It is well suited for semi-gloss and gloss paint formulations and offers formulation flexibility and the opportunity to add more gloss, stain resistance and/or water resistance to low and ultra-low VOC paints.
