Bondyram Tie Layers, concentrated grades characterized by high-level grafted maleic anhydride
Blanc fixe is a white, soluble, heavy compound obtained either from the natural mineral barytes, or by chemical treatment of barium and sulfuric acid. It is highly transparent, improves printability. It is also used to form the pigment lithopone, which is also known as “blanc fixe”.
BLANC FIXE Fine Grade is a functional extender for paints and coatings with maximum gloss and brilliance standards. Despite its extremely fine particle size, BLANC FIXE fine grade can be dispersed relatively easy. BLANC FIXE fine grade is totally inert under normal conditions, and possesses high resistance to outdoor exposure and to chemicals. Thanks to its synthesis from high purity solutions, BLANC FIXE is itself extremely pure. This is apparent in its extremely high brightness and the total absence of catalytically active trace elements.
BLANC FIXE has only an extremely low grit content, since its crystals are obtained from solutions and are not produced by means of grinding processes. This also results in the complete avoidance of extremely fine particles, which would otherwise cause viscosity difficulties. Problematical agglomerates are virtually completely eliminated by means of micronization during this product‘s final processing stage.
BLANC FIXE micro generally improves coating properties:
It acts as a spacer for TiO2, coloured pigments and carbon blacks
It has an extremely fine particle size of around 0.7µm
It exhibits an extremely low binder demand
It is chemically inert
It is resistant to outdoor exposure
It has an extremely narrow particle size distribution
It has no grit contents
Applications:
Automotive coatings
Decorative coatings
Industrial Paints
High Solids
Pigment Pastes
Powder coating systems
Inks
Plastics
Cosmetics
Calcium stearates, which are recognized as physiologically safe, have become increasingly important in the last few years. They are insoluble in most solvents. They dissolve only slightly when heated in aromatic compounds, chlorinated hydrocarbons or vegetable and mineral oils and waxes. Calcium stearates are mainly used as lubricants, mold release agents and acid scavengers by the plastics industry. The pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry uses calcium stearate as an anti-caking additive for powders and granules and as an excipient for pressing tablets. The building industry uses it as hydrophobic agent for inhibiting moisture absorption and preservation of building materials and construction.
Calcium Stearate is used by the rubber and plastic industries as an effective elastomer processing aid and release agent. The low chloride content of Calcium Stearate allows for complete product dispersion in elastomers. Calcium Stearate reduces extruder pressure build-up of rigid PVC compounds when used as a processing aid during the manufacture of pipe, siding and injection molded fittings. The low chloride content of Calcium Stearate meets the quality and processing demands of polyolefin, polystyrene and polyester manufacture.
A versatile light stabilizer with outstanding extraction resistance, low gas fading, and low pigment interaction
Applications: Plastics
Orgawhite 2000 is an ammonia, formaldehyde and APEO free organic opacifier that is designed to be used in water-based paints and other coatings. Orgawhite 2000 is a non-film-forming polymer emulsion that forms hollow air-filled particles when dried. When used in paint formulations as a partial replacement of TiO2 and other extenders, Orgawhite 2000 acts like a fine particle inorganic extender spacing the TiO2 particles. This improves the efficiency of TiO2. Orgawhite 2000 has a very low surface area and the binder demand is very low. This allows the paint formulators to work at higher pigment volume concentrations. Utilizing the benefits of the Orgawhite 2000 the paint formulation cost could be reduced without reducing the performance. Alternatively, the paint performance could be improved without increasing the cost.
Applications:
APEO free organic opacifier
Ammonium hydroxide free
Broad range of formulations from low to high PVC
Increased TiO2 efficiency
Excellent opacity contributions
Improved formulation cost optimization
The utilization of talc lead to extreme advantages in paint and coatings. Talc is used primarily in industrial paint and coatings, wood lacquers, printing inks, fillers as well as in various coatings. Due to the characteristics of talc, it is outstandingly suitable for paints and coatings. The lamellar, hydrophobic and chemical inert structure of talc makes it to a perfect filler for the industry. Talc increases coverage and weather resistance of the products. The use of talc creates a barrier effect, which limits the penetration of water and corrosive agents into paints and coatings. These properties lead to a reduction in bubble formation, corrosion and peeling.
Effects and benefits:
Extension of durability through
Improves the resistance and prevents cracking and peel of
Water-repellent effect
Increases the viscosity and facilitate dispersion
Improves the weather and UV resistance
Reduction of solvents – decrease VOC
Improves the adhesion of the coating film
Zinc Stearate is a chemical substance that has a white, fluffy, powdered appearance and is usually formed from a combination of Stearic acid and zinc oxide. It does not have a strong odour, although traces of a slight fatty acid scent are not uncommon Zinc Stearate is a compound of long-chain fatty acids with Zinc attached to it. Zinc Stearates are insoluble in polar solvents (like alcohol & ethers), but more soluble in in aromatic compounds and chlorinated hydrocarbons when heated.
It is the most powerful release agent among all metal soaps. It contains no electrolyte and has a hydrophobic effect. Because of this versatility, this substance is used by many different types of companies, from plastic industries to concrete manufacturers. It is used extensively in colour concentrates as a dispersion aid.
Its main application areas are the plastics and rubber industry where it is used as a releasing agent and lubricant which can be easily incorporated. These applications exploit its “non-stick” properties. In cosmetics, zinc stearate is a lubricant and thickening to improve texture. It is an “activator” for rubber vulcanization by sulphur and accelerators.
