• It offers controlled penetration into porous substrates and imparts excellent package stability and reproducibility.
• It shows no adverse effect on paint durability and no influence on water-resistance of organic systems.
• It is non-yellowing in the final formulation and does not normally react with system components.
• THIXATROL® ST is used in epoxies, polyurethanes, varnishes, air dry industrial-, high build- and hammer finishes.
• The recommended dosage level is 0.2-0.8% by weight.
• It has a shelf life of 4 years.

WANNATE® HB-75MX by Wanhua Chemical is an aliphatic biuret polyisocyanate based on hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and dissolved in 25% of 1-methoxy-2-propyl acetate (MPA) and xylene (1:1). It exhibits high chemical- and weathering resistance, very good gloss retention and outstanding mechanical properties. It can be mixed with aliphatic- and aromatic polyisocyanates, polyester polyols and polyacrylates.

• It can be used as the hardener component for lightfast two-component polyurethane coatings.
• WANNATE® HB-75MX is suitable for automotive refinishing, transportation, industrial finishing and plastic coatings.

EPON™ Resin 1007F by Westlake Epoxy is a moderately high molecular weight solid epoxy resin derived from a liquid epoxy resin and bisphenol-A. It provides outstanding flexibility, adhesion, very good resistance to chemicals and solvents. It offers unique melt viscosity characteristics to powder coatings.

• It is used as a vehicle in high performance industrial baking finishes in combination with urea formaldehyde or phenol-formaldehyde resins.
• It is also used in amine or polyamide cured two package coatings, reacted with vegetable oil acids, isocyanate curing agents to produce epoxy resin esters and urethane coatings.
• EPON™ Resin 1007F is suitable for use in the linings for metal containers, appliance primers, metal furniture finishes, clear coatings for brass hardware and cosmetic cases.
• The shelf life of this product is 5 years.

MONARCH® 120 distributed by DKSH is a low structure, specialty, general purpose carbon black. It offers very blue undertone, excellent rub resistance, good viscosity and flow properties.

• It is used as a replacement for a variety of non-carbon black pigments.
• It is recommended for a variety of inks, web offset coldset and letterpress printing inks.
• It is suitable for coatings such as underbody/underhood automotive, general industrial and architectural applications where high jetness is not required.
• MONARCH® 120 is also recommended for use as a tinting black since the large particle size allows for high loading and helps to reduce problems with floating and flooding in liquid coating applications.
• It can be easily dispersed using a single screw extruder for powder coatings.
• It is available in Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Myanmar.

SYLOID® C 809 distributed by DKSH is a high porosity, synthetic amorphous silica-based matting agent of medium particle size. It exhibits high matting effect, favorable gloss/ sheen ratio, outstanding incorporation and dispersion behavior and excellent overgrind resistance.

• It is suitable for use in coil coatings, general industrial coatings and decorative & trade sales paints.
• SYLOID® C 809 has a shelf life of 12 months.
• It is available in Europe.

Raven 410 by Birla Carbon is a carbon black with best blue undertone and lowest tinting strength for general purpose coatings. It is available both as powder and bead to ensure excellent processability in production. It possesses large particle size and low structure. It exhibits low porosity and low surface area which reduces the level of dispersant and resin demand to achieve excellent dispersion and stability. It offers low viscosity and high pigment loading in a variety of applications. It is suitable for water and solvent-borne systems.
