Mixture of xylene and ethyl benzene. Raybo 66 AquaHamR by Raybo Chemical Company acts as a hammer-tone finish agent. It produces a unique hammertone pattern and a reproducible pattern that is easily achieved. Suitable for VOC compliant coatings. The typical use levels are 0.5-1% of the total paint. Raybo 66 AquaHamR by Raybo Chemical Company complies with following regulations: OSHA regulations, CERCLA and SARA 313.

Raybo 88 HamR by Raybo Chemical Company is a mixture of solvent naphtha, naphthalene and 1, 2, 4-trimethylbenzene. Acts as a hammer-tone finish agent. It forms hammer-tone pattern. The ease of pattern formation is dependent on viscosity and dry time. It is effective for masking substrate imperfections and for obtaining decorative finishes. Raybo 88 HamR is suitable for solvent borne coatings. The typical use levels are 0.5-1% of the total paint. It complies with following regulations: OSHA regulations, CERCLA and SARA 313.

Polyacrylate. Used to produce hammer tone powder coatings.

Polyacrylate. Used to produce hammer tone powder coatings.

Thermoset amino resin. It functions as a matting agent, scratch resisting agent, finish appearance enhancement agent, slipping improvement agent, and a filler. It provides strong resistance to heat, solvent with high mechanical strength and strong shock resistance. It shows improved affinity to vehicle or binder comparing with traditional inorganic powder and easy dispersion. It is inert, inactive, insoluble (as not soluble in most organic solvent systems) and non melting. It is light, homogenous and has a narrow distributed white solid spherical shaped particles (micron-sized). It is used in paints, ink, etc.

BLUESIL™ ADD 10086 by Elkem Silicones is a polydimethylsiloxane gum in solvent solution. It is especially developed to obtain hammer effects in combination with thixotropic polyurethane bases. It is also suitable for use with classical, polyurethane bases, thixotropic alkyd paints and silicone binders. Used in industrial coatings. The doses of use can be varied from 0.1 to 0.8 % according to the type of binder and the effect desired.

Methyl methacrylate cross-polymer (PMMA micron beads) functions as a matting agent, finish appearance enhancement agent and light diffusion agent. It not only show strong resistance to heat, solvent, acid, alkaline but also improves scratch resistance and provide better feeling with wide compatibility. It is odorless, flowable, dispersive, slippery at high levels, smooth, silky and pressable. It has a low density as well as less tendency for precipitation and neutral pH. It has a narrow distributed solid spherical shaped particles (micron-sized) with minimal aggregation. It is used in paints, ink, etc.
