Coatings, Inks & Construction

BENTONE® 54

Rheological additive suitable for low to intermediate polarity organic systems. It is used in anti-corrosive paints, high-build systems, industrial finishes and interior- & exterior house paints. It is ideal for do-it-yourself paints, primers, undercoats, fillers, printing inks, road marking paints and wood finishing systems. It is highly recommended for solvent-borne decorative long-oil alkyds, car refinish-, marine protective- and roof coatings. It is recommended for can-, car OEM-, coil- and plastic coatings. It is an organic derivative of a bentonite clay. Shelf life: 4 years.Benefits:Prevents pigment settling during storage and syneresis in thixotropic systemsIt increases viscosity and provides thixotropy It improves flow and leveling Controls sagging on vertical surfaces and penetration on porous substrates

BENTONE® CT

Thixotropic additive suitable for aqueous coatings systems. It is used in building materials, such as mortar bases on lime, cement & gypsum, synthetic resin-bound plasters and low-cost emulsion paints. It is recommended for high PVC and general industrial coatings. It is highly recommended for concrete coating, grouts and plaster/stucco. It is a natural untreated, hectorite clay. Shelf life: 4 years. Benefits:Cost-effective and bacteria- & enzyme-resistantProvides stable shear-thinning viscosity and texture build over a wide temperature rangeIt improves slump or sag resistance and pumpability & workabilityIt acts as a suspending agent and prevents hard settlement 

BENTONE® HC

Rheological additive suitable for aqueous systems and building materials, such as mortar cement & gypsum. It is also used in ready-mixed plasters, high PVC coatings and paint detackification systems. It is highly recommended for grouts, concrete coating and plaster/stucco. It is a refined hectorite clay. Shelf life: 4 years.Benefits:Cost-effective thixotropic additive for filled systems It provides shear-thinning viscosity & stable and package rheology over a wide temperature range Improves slump or sag resistance It prevents hard settlement and possesses bacteria- and enzyme-resistance

BENTONE® SD-1

Rheological additive suitable for non-polar to medium-polarity aliphatic and other solvent systems. It is used in anti-corrosive paints, bituminous coatings, decorative long-oil alkyd-, do-it-yourself paints, printing inks, primers, fillers, undercoats, traffic paints and wood stains. It is highly recommended for can-, car OEM-, car refinish-, coil-, general industrial-, marine protective-, plastic- & roof coatings. It is an organic derivative of a bentonite clay. Shelf life: 4 years.Benefits:It provides stable viscosity buildIt reduces sagging of coatings on vertical surfaces and prevents settling of pigments and fillersCost-effective Disperses very easily, even under low shear conditions

BENTONE® WBS

Rheological additive suitable for waterborne decorative latex paints and gypsum plasters. It is also used in building materials such as mortars & renderings based on lime, cement and gypsum. It is recommended for water-reducible coatings and highly recommended for architectural- & concrete coating, grouts, plaster/stucco and tile adhesives. It is a beneficiated, high purity smectite clay. Shelf life: 4 years.Benefits:It prevents settling of pigments and fillers Provides low- and mid-shear viscosity It enhances sag and slump resistanceIt offers improved workability and compatibility with other thickeners

DAPRO® FX 514

Plasticizer & coalescing agent highly recommended for water-based architectural decorative grind. It is also highly recommended for roof coatings. Shelf life: 3 years.Benefits:VOC-free and low odor easter-based product prepared from renewable resources Assists in excellent film formation, film plasticization and long-term stable adhesive flexibilityEnhanced tackiness 

NUOSPERSE® FN 211

Non-ionic pigment wetting & dispersing agent primarily for use in waterborne emulsion paints. It is used in NO-VOC, low odor paints and pigment concentrates. It is highly recommended for architectural , asphalt emulsion, roof & leather coatings and pigments. It is recommended for inks. Shelf life: 3 years.Benefits:Alkyl phenol ethoxylate- & VOC-free and labelling-free in the E.UCan be used in conjunction with a polymeric anionic dispersant, such as NUOSPERSE® FX 504It improves freeze/thaw stabilityIt optimizes color development, reduces flocculation and offers highest pigment loading

NUOSPERSE® FN 260

Nonionic unique low foaming wetting agent and emulsifier is used in waterborne paints, colorants, pigment dispersions & most emulsions and dispersions. It is highly recommended for leather coatings and pigments. It is recommended for architectural-, car OEM-, car refinish-, general industrial-, plastic-, wood- & roof coatings and asphalt emulsion. It can be used as an effective replacement for the most widely used APE in paints and colorants namely nonyl phenol ethoxylate, NP-10EO. Shelf life: 3 years. Benefits:Nonylphenol- & VOC-free and labelling-free in EUIt shows pigment wetting, emulsifying and stabilizing properties Avoids flocculation
