Coatings, Inks & Construction

DEFOAM RG 187

Silicone-free defoamer recommended for solvent-free, solvent- and water-based paints. It is designed for acrylic- and 2K epoxy paints, flexographic inks, and clear coat. Shelf life: 12 months.Benefits:It helps in avoiding surface defects and adhesion problems between substratesIt is very efficient to avoid micro foamIt shows a high anti-bubbling action with long-lasting efficiency

HYDROTENSE DL 440

Highly efficient, anionic dispersing agent designed for water-based paint applications. It is used in the production of tinting pastes and organic pigments. Shelf life: 6 months.Benefits:It strongly reduces the viscosity of the mill base Provides high pigment concentration with low viscosity and long shelf lifeIn presence of hydrophobic pigments, it is recommended in combination with non-ionic surfactants like HYDROTENSE ML-PE/4 or HYDROTENSE WG 4It is free from VOC

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 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

HYDROTENSE RG 171

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 reduces the viscosity of fillers dispersionsOffers improved filler loadingIt is VOC free 

RICODROP A 1500

Co-binder and water repellent for waterborne coating applications. It is suitable for paints and plaster based on synthetic and silicone resins. It is also recommended for water-based paints. Shelf life: 12 months.Benefits:Promotes efficient impermeability for long timeOffers high transpiration and good water resistanceIt also promotes reduction of fouling of the facadesSolvent-free and APEO-free
