It is critical that binders and additives have the right balance of saturation. With a target of the final bonding strength in the end application at the right time, there must be excellent wetting control, correct penetration and flow, separation or release as required from press, stacks or moulds, control of surface quality and conditions by reduced dusting and sticking.

Crossing over with the above category we offer a mixture of wetting and other chemistry to promote flow, softening, flexibility and postforming in surfaces.

A range of hardeners from commodity type pH adjusters to special latent catalysts mixes designed for variable pot life, curing control in downstream applications, improved internal bond strength and reduced emissions.

Selective colors and blends for various applications: identification marking in panels such as moisture resistance or flame retarding, homogenous shades for laminates and phenolic films, temperature resistance in masterbatch, increased opacity and reduced viscosity in colored sprays, flexos or powder coats.

High-performance defoamers and deaerators for a wide range of formulation applications from lubricants and metalworking products, coolants, care products, and food equipment sectors to paintings and coatings.

Defoamers prevent problems such as surface defects in paints and coatings by breaking down the air stabilised in the liquid by surfactants. Due to their non-ionic nature, many types of defoamers are highly compatible with various binder systems and other additive groups.

A wide range of solvents including commodity bulk and packed in IBCs or drums for adhesives and colors in application for construction and panel resins, flexible packaging and coatings. Our selection includes a wide range of glycols, ethyl acetate and acetone.

Bulk and packaged caustic soda and potassium hydroxide in all concentrations for use in production of paper, resins, water treatments and cleaning agents.
