LAPONITE® SL25 is a ready-for-use liquid dispersion of synthetic layered silicate modified with a patented dispersing agent. Supplied at 25% solids content in water, LAPONITE® SL25 is a translucent and colourless low viscosity liquid dispersion. 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

OPTIGEL® WX, a specially selected and activated smectite product, has a high swelling capacity in water and shows a marked thixotropic thickening effect. This product is stable in diluted acids and bases and is particularly effective in acidic, neutral and alkaline systems. This product has applications in emulsion paints, release coatings, silicate paints, paint strippers, water reducible paints, liquid cleaners, inks, grinding pastes and abrasives, and car undercoatings. 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
