Coatings, Inks & Construction

DEFOAM RG 119

Silicone-based defoamer used in water-based coatings. Shelf life: 24 months.Benefits:It is free from VOC and has no negative influence on glossIt prevents the formation of micro and macro foam during production and application processesWorks even at low dosage and from acidic to alkaline pHIt is derived from styrene-acrylic, polyurethane and epoxy resinsIt can be easily incorporated into the medium with low shear forces

Hydrotense RG 178

Wetting- and dispersing agent designed for solvent-borne coatings and pigment concentrates. Shelf life: 24 months.Benefits:It stabilizes all types of pigmentsPrevents pigments flocculation and stabilizes them stericallyProvides equal electrical charge to the pigment particleIt exhibits deflocculating properties which increase gloss, color strength, transparency and hiding power Reduces the viscosity of the mill base

DEFOAM RG 240

Anti-foaming agent used in water-based coatings. It is an organically modified polysiloxane. It is designed for pigmented high emulsion systems based on styrene acrylate, acrylate or acrylate/polyurethane. It is also used in pigment preparation and high-speed flexo printing process. Shelf life: 12 months.Benefits:Provides very good defoaming and levelling propertyIt does not provide crater formation to the coatingIt is free from VOC

SUPERFLUID 180

Wetting and dispersing agent used in coating and ink printing applications. It is suitable for solvent-based, solvent-free and water-based systems. It is designed for inorganic pigments, in particular titanium oxide. Shelf life: 12 months.Benefits:Offers stabilizing action ensured by a steric protective effectIt surrounds and protects the pigments, keeping them small in size and avoiding flocculationIt ensures better color resistance

SOLTENSE RG 135

Rheology modifier suitable for coatings. It is an ecological addensive additive for solvent-based systems. It is a modified urea solution in dimethyl sulfoxide solvent. Shelf life: 12 months.Benefits:Creates a three-dimensional reticular structure after being added to the coating systemExhibits pseudoplastic and thixotropic properties which prevent sedimentation in the can and pouringIt works with both low & high polarity and does not require any polarity adjustmentAlso used for anti-settling and anti-casting

DEFOAM RG 181

Anti-foaming agent suitable for solvent-borne coating system. Shelf life: 12 months.

DEFOAM RG 112

Silicone-based defoamer used in printing inks and paints. It is recommended for water- and solvent-based systems with high solid content. It is suitable for standard application methods such as rolling, spraying and pouring. Shelf life: 24 months.Benefits:It is free from VOCIt is compatible and easy to incorporateExhibits excellent deaerating and antifoam properties

LAROSIL TS

Matting agent used in water systems, UV varnishes, transparent coatings, leather coatings and in all types of topcoats. Shelf life: 6 months.Benefits:Provides high transparencyExhibits high resistance against household chemicalsImproves the stability of powder formulations
