Coatings, Inks & Construction

CLAYMINTON® 72

Organoclay-based rheological additive suitable for industrial-, automotive finishes, core washes/foundry-, marine paints and maintenance coatings. It is designed for high or 100% solid systems and intermediate to high polarity solvents such as ketones, esters, glycol ethers, ether esters and alcohols. Shelf life: 4 years.Benefits:Possesses low viscosity and super dispersibilityEffective replacement of fumed silica and polyamide wax for desirable thixotropyOffers anti-settling and anti-sagging performanceCost effective, easy to use and high efficiency grade

CLAYMINTON® 81

Organoclay-based rheological additive used in coatings containing aliphatic solvents such as mineral spirits and VM&P naphtha. It is suitable for trade sales-, traffic-, industrial maintenance paints, wood stains, varnishes, light industrial finishes and marine coatings. It is suitable for low and moderate polarity solvent and liquid system. Shelf life: 4 years.Benefits:Easy to use and super dispersible under low shear conditionsCost effective gradeUniversal replacement for conventional organoclaysOffers sag and settling resistance at a lower viscosity than organic rheology modifiers

CLAYMINTON® 90

Organoclay-based rheological additive used in inks, light color-, wood-, maintenance coatings, industrial-, foundry paints and wash primers. It is suitable for wide range of polarity solvent and liquid systems. Shelf life: 4 years.Benefits:Super dispersible gradeIt eliminates the need of high shear, pre-gel and polar activatorsPossesses high whiteness and transparencyOffers excellent low shear- and moderate KU viscosityIt controls sagging on vertical surface and paint penetration on porous substrates Improves flow and leveling Prevents syneresis in thixotropic systems

DIPROPYLENE GLYCOL DME

Special solvent designed for solvent-based- and water-based polyurethane/isocyanate coating systems. It is also used in paint and varnish-stripping formulations. Shelf life: 2 years.Benefits:It is completely miscible with most common organic solvents and has limited solubility in waterIt has low toxicityIt is an environmentally friendly replacement for NMP (N-methyl pyrrolidone)

Dispersogen AN 200

Universal dispersing agent designed for organic and inorganic pigment. It is a wetting agent and compatibilizer used for water-borne and solvent-borne lacquers and emulsion paints. Shelf life: 730 days.Benefits:It is a performance blend of nonionic and anionic surfactantsProvides very good compatibilityIt improves tinting strength, reduces rub-out and water absorptionPreservative-freeRenewable Carbon Index -About 29 %
