LAPONITE® S482 is a synthetic layered silicate modified with a patented dispersing agent. It hydrates and swells in water to give translucent and colourless colloidal liquid dispersions known as sols. At 25% solids concentration in water, these will remain free flowing for up to 1 year. On addition of small quantities of electrolyte, or on addition to formulations containing e.g. resins, surfactants or pigments, highly thixotropic gels are formed rapidly. It is used to impart a shear sensitive structure to a wide range of waterborne formulations including DIY and industrial surface coatings, household cleaners, ceramic and agrochemical products. view less

NANOBYK®-3620 is a VOC-free, aqueous dispersion made up of nanohybrid particles to protect glossy, aqueous, pigmented and unpigmented top-coats against scratching and abrasion. This protective property comes into effect quickly after only a brief drying p...view more
NANOBYK®-3620 is a VOC-free, aqueous dispersion made up of nanohybrid particles to protect glossy, aqueous, pigmented and unpigmented top-coats against scratching and abrasion. This protective property comes into effect quickly after only a brief drying period. NANOBYK® 3620 has no negative influences on the gloss and transparency, and is therefore particularly suitable for clear coats. view less

RHEOBYK-7591 is a rheology and processing additive for powder coatings particularly suitable for use in powder coating systems, and in this segment it is broadly compatible with various binders.
RHEOBYK-H 3300 VF is a VOC-free polymer solution used to generate low shear viscosity. It is an aqueous solution of a hydrophobically modified nonionic polymer commonly called an associative thickener. The use of RHEOBYK-H 3300 VF will increase body by ge...view more
RHEOBYK-H 3300 VF is a VOC-free polymer solution used to generate low shear viscosity. It is an aqueous solution of a hydrophobically modified nonionic polymer commonly called an associative thickener. The use of RHEOBYK-H 3300 VF will increase body by generating low shear viscosity with some impact on high shear viscosity. view less
