BINDERS
STYRENE ACRYLIC COPOLYMERS
Styrene acrylic copolymers are APEO (alkyl phenol ethoxylate)-free binders used in most interior and exterior paints, sealants, two-component cement-based sealants, graphite, quartz protective coatings, moisture-proofing paints, and many other application areas. All styrene acrylic copolymer emulsions have workability, elastic modulus, water resistance, and crack-bridging properties.
POLIMER AKRILIK
The pure acrylic polymer is APEO (alkyl phenol ethoxylate) free and has very good adhesion and abrasion resistance. Pure acrylic provides very good weatherability. It is suitable for most gloss and non-gloss paints for interior and exterior applications, including kitchens and bathrooms requiring water resistance and yellowing resistance, as well as paints and primers for concrete floors.
KOPOLIMERI VINIL-AKRILIK
Pure acrylic copolymer is APEO (alkyl phenol ethoxylate) free and is the best choice for paints with high abrasion resistance, water resistance and durability, compared to all other vinyl acetate-based copolymers. This compound is versatile and easy to formulate. Vinyl-acrylic copolymer is used in a wide range of applications, for most interior paints from matte to semi-gloss, graffiti, primer and plaster.

REZINAT ALKIDE
Alkyd resins are polyester-based materials that are modified with oils or fatty acids. Alkyd resins are used in primers and varnishes for wood and metals, special paints for metals, fast-drying paints, special paints for vehicles, high-gloss alkyd paints, varnishes for wood and metals, and road paint. Depending on the length of the oil chain, alkyd resins have different drying times after application.
REZINAT AKRILIKE
Acrylic resins are used for the production of road paints. Their advantages are:
- Fast drying
- Resistant to weather and other environmental influences
- Broad compatibility with many solvents
- High resistance to corrosion, water, chemicals and salts
- Resistant to bacteria, mold and fungi
COVERING
The capping agent is ammonia, formaldehyde, APEO (alkyl phenol ethoxylate) free, intended for use in water-based and other paints. It is used in paint formulations as a partial replacement for TiO2 and other fillers. The capping agent acts as a fine inorganic filler between the TiO2 particles.
SOLVENT
Ksilen
It is used as a solvent in the paint and varnish industry.
Toluen
It is used as a solvent in the paint and varnish industry.
Monopropilen Glikol
Used to adjust drying time, as well as to aid in freeze/thaw characteristics.
White Spirit
It is used as a solvent for paints and varnishes, ink driers, color printing of fabrics, cleaning and degreasing of metals, writing inks, furniture preparation, dry cleaning industries, shoe and floor polishing, in dry cleaning formulations and in the rubber industry.
Mono propylene glycol
It is used as a solvent in the paint and varnish industry, writing inks, in the production of non-ionic detergents, and in the papermaking industry.
Butil diglikol acetat
It acts as a solvent, leveling agent and binder. It improves the flow of many varnishes, even at low concentrations. It is used for paints and varnishes (including emulsion paints and varnishes), printing inks (screen printing ink), wood stains and furniture polishes.
Ester Alkool (2,2,4-Trimetil-1,3-pentanediol monoisobutirat)
It is a water-soluble coupling agent used in plastic paints. It offers good characteristics such as abrasion resistance, color development and stability in paints.
ADDITIVES
Additives are used to:
• Modify surface tension
• Improve flow properties
• Control chip formation
• Improve final appearance
• Control foam formation
• Improve pigment stability
CELLULOSE
Hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) is a non-ionic, water-soluble, white powder polymer. HEC dissolves easily in hot or cold water, yielding clear solutions with viscosities ranging from 5000 mPa·s, 15000 mPa·s, 30000 mPa·s.
HEC is used as a binder, paint polymer, precipitation inhibitor, flow reducer, slip and workability enhancer, stabilizing and suspending agent, stability enhancer and thickener. It is recommended in paint technologies.
PAINT THICKENER
Paint thickeners are synthetic non-ionic admixtures used to create viscosity and provide high flow and leveling in latex paints. Paint thickeners can be used in a variety of paint formulations.
SURFAKTANT
Surfactants are phosphate esters that serve to improve gloss and color in water-based latex paints. The advantages of surfactants are: improved stability of the finished latex, excellent wetting and pigment dispersion, low coagulation in the finished latex, improved freeze/thaw resistance, improved substrate wetting.
NEUTRALIZING AGENT
Neutralizing agents are organoamine mixtures and are stabilizing additives designed for easy incorporation and long-term pH stability in all types of water-based latex paints.
FOAM CONTROL AGENTS
Foam control agents are designed to control foam formation in water-based and alkyd paints. Foam control agents are also known as antifoam agents.
DISTRIBUTION AGENTS
Dispersing agents are used to disperse pigments in emulsions and silicone resin paints. They are recommended for acrylic, styrene acrylic and vinyl acrylic formulations.
PRESERVATIVE (BIOCIDE)
This ingredient is used to avoid deterioration and degradation of aqueous systems caused by bacteria, fungi, and yeasts in the paint industry.
ANTIFUNGI AGENTS
Antifungal agents are used in water-based materials. These agents are used in paints, dyes, insulators, inks, textiles, and laminates.
AGENTS AGAINST THE CHIPA
Anti-caking agents are methyl ethyl ketoxime which is used for paints that dry under ambient conditions. They are used for alkyd resins with different oil composition lengths, drying oils, alkyd resins modified with styrene and vinyl toluene, and epoxy ester resins.
PAINT DRYERS
Paint driers act as an oxidative catalyst and drier. They promote rapid surface and interior drying in paints and varnishes.
Chargers
Calcium carbonate is the most widely used mineral in the paint industry both as a filler and as a paint pigment, due to its distinctive white color. Calcium carbonate is very fine, easy to disperse and has a high purity of white limestone. The main application of calcium carbonate is in: paints (interior and exterior paints, in synthetic and oil systems), in the rubber, paper, plastic and insulation industries.
ZINC PHOSPHATE
Zinc phosphate is a white anti-corrosive pigment for protective paints.
PIGMENTS
TITANIUM DIOXIDE
Titanium Dioxide is the world’s leading pigment for providing whiteness, brightness and coverage.
COLOR PIGMENTS
Color pigments are inorganic pigments based mainly on iron oxide. These pigments are available in various colors, such as red, black, brown, yellow, orange, green, blue, and have various fields of application.
