Coatings, Inks & Construction

HYDROTENSE ML-PE/4

Non-ionic wetting agent used in paints, textured coatings and inks based on emulsified resins. Shelf life: 6 months.Benefits:It is a polyethylene glycol ester of a medium-short chain fatty acidIt strongly improves the yields of organic and inorganic pigmentsAlso enhances stability of finished coatingIn combination with a dispersing agent such as HYDROTENSE DL 761, it reduces floodingIt reduces the surface tension of water and allows an easy wetting of hydrophobic pigments such as carbon black, phthalo blue & green and organic redIt is VOC-free

HYDROTENSE ML-PE/4 50

Non-ionic wetting agent used in paints, textured coatings and inks based on emulsified resins. Shelf life: 6 months.Benefits:It is a polyethylene glycol ester of a medium-short chain fatty acidIt strongly improves the yields of organic and inorganic pigments Also improves the stability of finished coatingWhen used in combination with a dispersing agent such as HYDROTENSE DL 761 E, its maximum performance can be achieved It reduces the surface tension of water and allows an easy wetting of hydrophobic pigments such as carbon black, phthalo blue & green and organic red

HYDROTENSE RG 124

Wetting- and dispersing agent designed for solvent-based coatings. Shelf life: 12 months.Benefits:It reduces the viscosity of the dough with inorganic and charged pigments, improving the intensity of color and brillianceIt improves flow characteristics and allows higher pigment loading It prevents flocculation of stabilized particlesIt also enhances the stabilization of inorganic pigments, especially for titanium dioxideSolvent: n-Butyl Acetate / Methoxy Propyl Acetate

HYDROTENSE RG 152

Wetting- and dispersing agent designed for direct pigment grinding in solvent-borne coatings. It is suitable for the manufacture of pigment concentrates. Shelf life: 12 months.Benefits:Shows excellent compatibility with standard solvent-borne coating binders, thermoplastic acrylates (TPA), and cellulose nitrateIt generates a uniform electrical charge in the pigment particlesOffers repulsion effect and steric stabilization It prevents any co-flocculation which provides high levels of gloss and improved color strength

HYDROTENSE RG 156

Wetting agent used in emulsion paints. It is recommended for alkyl, acrylic and polyester resins. Shelf life: 24 months.Benefits:It is a copolymer of alkyl polyethylene and polypropylene oxideExhibits strong emulsifying powerIt increases compatibility of the resin with the colorOffers improved storage stability (brilliance, distension)

HYDROTENSE RG 158

Silicone-containing surface additive used in solvent- and water-based coatings systems, wood & industrial coatings, car finishes and overprint inks. Shelf life: 24 months.Benefits:It is a polyether-modified polydimethylsiloxaneProvides strong surface tension reduction and substrate wetting while avoiding crateringIt increases surface slip, gloss and scratch resistanceShows improved anti-blocking property in aqueous systemsIt has excellent compatibility in P.V. solvent and solvent-free systems

HYDROTENSE RG 161

Solvent-free wetting and dispersing agent used in coating applications. It is suitable for all types of pigment, in particularly for carbon black acid and neutral. It is designed to disperse extenders, such as calcium carbonate in unsaturated polyester systems where solvents must be avoided. It also acts as a surface modifier. Shelf life: 12 months.Benefits:It is alkylammonium salt with high molecular weight copolymerIt is a 100% active polymeric substanceIt reduces the viscosity of fillers dispersionsOffers improved filler loadingIt is VOC-free
