Innovation highlights
Visit the Borchers booth to explore the latest in coating additive technologies. The technical team will be highlighting:
Borchi® Gen wetting and dispersing agents for a variety of pigments, including news additives developed for co-grind applications in industrial solventborne coatings:
- Borchi® Gen 5113 (for organic and carbon black pigments)
- Borchi® Gen 5115 (for TiO2 and iron oxide pigments)
- Borchi® Gen 0311 (for multiple pigments)
These additives help improve pigment wetting, dispersion efficiency, and color consistency across various pigment types.
Borchi Gol defoaming and surface actives for epoxy floor coatings will be featured for their ability to enhance aesthetics, durability, and application performance, supporting smooth finishes and long-term wear in demanding environments.
Other defoamer solutions include Borchi Burst and Borchers AF defoamers.
Borchi® Gen AOD, a new adhesion promoter for difficult metal substrates. This additive provides improved chemical solvent resistance of polyester amino coatings.

Milliken’s Technical Service Laboratory in Pune now offers enhanced capabilities to support regional coating formulators. The facility provides hands-on testing and development with high-performance coating additives, including cobalt-free driers, tin-free catalysts, dispersants, and rheology modifiers, helping customers meet local market and regulatory requirements.
Conference presentation
Borchers participated in the conference portion of PaintIndia, presented on ‘Advancing Waterborne and Water-Reducible Alkyds with a High-Performance Catalyst’ on February 19, 2026 (Session: Hall 3, Session 1 – Waterborne and Bio-Based Coatings).
This presentation showcased how their Borchi OXY-Coat 1101 high-performance catalyst for alkyd emulsions ensures uniform through-drying and eliminates common defects, resulting in faster surface and through-dry times, brighter whites, improved gloss, and enhanced corrosion resistance compared to cobalt driers facing regulatory scrutiny.
