• It delivers significantly improved weatherability compared to conventional TiO₂ or other durable TiO₂ grades on market.
• It suppresses photocatalytic degradation to maintain appearance during long-term outdoor exposure.
• It enables quality improvement and cost optimization while remaining compatible with existing coating systems.
• It is designed for demanding applications including architectural exteriors, heavy-duty and protective coatings, and supports AAMA 2605-compliant formulations.

B-Tough™ C2r by Cargill is a VOC-free, reactive epoxy functional toughening agent. It is a low viscous, non-migratory additive which is easy to handle and to formulate with. It offers good chemical resistance and excellent impact resistance, while absorbing mechanical stress without impacting hardness.

• It allows for the formulation of zero to low VOC epoxy coatings with the flexibility of a solid epoxy (1001 type) resin-based system and the hardness of a liquid epoxy (828 type) resin-based system.
• B-Tough™ C2r is suitable for indoor floor-, industrial-, marine and protective coatings.

EverWhite® EWP-5 by U.S. Silica is a premium, domestically sourced high-white pigment extender. It is a highly refined silica-based mineral that is used to partially replace other inorganic white pigments like titanium dioxide and aluminum trihydrate (ATH).

• It offers consistent color formulations and premium bright-white color.
• It is high temperature resistant and specially formulated to reduce discoloration, provides hardness and durability equal to other specialty minerals like white quartz & TiO₂ based pigments.
• It disperses more easily and its flexibility in opacity helps with the depth effect of products.
• It has roughly half the density which allows the manufacturer more options in substitution.
• EverWhite® EWP-5 is used in industrial, liquid roof applied coating white paper applications and exterior building products.

TIPAQUE BLACK™ SG-101 by Ishihara Sangyo Kaisha is an environment-friendly, IR-reflective black pigment. It is a chromium-free, neutral black pigment composed of calcium titanium manganese oxide (Ca, Ti, Mn)O₃. It offers reduced warpage & deformation due to its temperature rise suppression properties and maintains true black appearance. It offers potential recyclability benefits through NIR detectability.

• It enables deep black coatings with reduced heat build-up, while maintaining design flexibility and supporting cool roof and energy regulations without compromising color.
• It is designed for heat-shielding applications.
• TIPAQUE BLACK™ SG-101 offers excellent reflectance in the near-infrared region (780-2500 nm).
• It reduces NIR absorption across a wide range of dark shades, not just pure black.
• It is used in architectural/decorative coatings, automotive OEM coatings, general industrial maintenance and metal coatings.
• It is listed with ENCS and TSCA.

Regional availability and approved end-uses may vary; Ishihara will confirm fit with your inquiry.

Bentone® 38 by Elementis is a highly efficient rheological modifier designed for use in low to intermediate polarity organic systems. It is an organic derivative of a hectorite clay.

• It increases viscosity, controls sagging on vertical surfaces, and penetration on porous substrates.
• It improves flow and leveling, prevents pigment settling during storage and syneresis in thixotropic systems.
• It is suitable for aerosol paints, anti-corrosive paints, automotive finishes and primers, coil coating systems, industrial paints, trichloroethylene dip coatings, and wood stains.
• It is used in interior and exterior house paints.
• Recommended dosage level is 0.2-0.5% for house and industrial paints.
• Bentone® 38 has a shelf life of 4 years.

PANGEL® B20 by Tolsa is a powdered rheological additive with a high thickening and anti-settling capacity for intermediate polarity systems. It imparts thixotropy, suspension and sagging-resistance to systems based on aromatic and unsaturated polyester type solvents.

• It provides a strong pseudoplastic character, producing high consistency levels without affecting viscosity during application.
• It prevents settling of pigments & fillers in printing inks, paints and coatings.
• It controls sagging without aggravating levelling and offers high stability during transportation and storage.
• PANGEL® B20 is designed for asphalt coatings, decorative enamels, signaling, marine coatings, automobile priming, oven-cured enamels, paint strippers and water-soluble paints.
• It has a shelf life of 1 year.

Preventol® A 14-D by LANXESS is a dry film preservative based on diuron, carbendazim and octylisothiazolinones. This water-based dispersion exhibits broad-spectrum activity against algae and fungi which can destroy surface coatings. It possesses good flow and handling properties. It has low degree of water solubility, therefore offering good leaching resistance and long service time. It is compatible with high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Preventol® A 14-D is suitable for paints and coatings used for architectural products, finishes and special purpose coatings. Recommended dosage level is 0.15-2%. The shelf life is 12 months.
