It is a natural product, made from the beans of the castor plant which can be grown in any tropical region. As a natural polyol, it is commanding increasing attention as a highly effective ingredient in polyurethane applications, replacing the traditional petroleum based polyols. This product can be used as a carrier for pigments and dyes in paints, coatings, and inks, and as an ingredient in alkyd resins used in varnishes and coatings. view less | Request Sample |

The activation process is the conversion of the CRAYVALLAC® PF fine particles to an interacting network of fibers. It is this network that gives rise to the final system’s shear thinning rheology. This shear-thinning behavior provides a very high viscosity under the low shear rates associated with sedimentation, and a low viscosity at the much higher application shear rates. The net result is excellent control of sedimentation combined with ease of application. CRAYVALLAC® PF is suitable for a multitude of applications. view less | Request Sample |

Compared to other hydrogenated castor oil based rheology modifiers, CRAYVALLAC® SF is more tolerant to strong solvents and high processing temperatures due to the presence of its unique performance enhancing amide. The activation process constitutes the conversion of the CRAYVALLAC® SF particles to an interacting network of fibre-like particles. It is this network that gives rise to the final coating’s shear thinning rheology. This shear thinning characteristic providesa very high viscosity under the low shear rates associated with sedimentation, and a low viscosity at the much higher application shear rates. The net result is excellent control of sedimentation combined with ease of application. view less | Request Sample |

It is particularly intended for use in paint manufacturing processes involving relatively high working temperatures. EFKA® RM 1900 produces very strong thixotropic effects in solvent based coatings. However, the type of solvent is of decisive importance to its thixotropic behavior. The solvents should mainly consist of mineral spirits and aromatics. A combination with esters, ketones and alcohols is possible up to certain limits. This white, microfine powder is a modified hydrogenated castor oil. EFKA® RM 1900 is suitable as a rheology additive for solvent based and solvent-free systems such as epoxy resin paints, plastisols, caulking compounds, putties and knifing fillers. view less | |

The incorporation of EFKA® RM 1920 ensures a strong thixotropic effect in non-aqueous coatings. Sagging of thick films on vertical surfaces is effectively prevented whilst the working and flow properties are also generally improved. Pigment settling is also substantially reduced. EFKA® RM 1920 can be used in most non-aqueous coatings both with and without solvents. The lower the polarity of the coating, the better is its performance. view less | |
