OPTIGEL WH is produced from natural, colloidal aluminum silicate by a unique process. The high purity and consistent viscosity of OPTIGEL WH are made possible by our selective mining and rigid process control from the crude ore to the finished product. OPTIGEL WH is thixotropic in nature. It is most beneficial when it is used in combination with other rheological additives to produce the desired rheological properties in a paint system. Suitable co-thickeners include cellulosics, alkali swellables, and urethane thickeners

BYK-073 is a silicone-containing, highly compatible defoamer designed for solvent-borne systems.

CERATIX 8566 is an aromatic-free ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer wax dispersion designed to enhance the orientation of effect pigments in solvent-borne coatings. It minimizes defects such as large-scale clouding and short-wave patterns, while improving the flip-flop effect and leveling of subsequent clear coats. Ideal for automotive and industrial applications, CERATIX 8566 also reduces pigment settling in containers and circulation systems.

BYK-1745 is a VOC- and silicone-free defoamer formulated from renewable vegetable derivatives, designed for aqueous adhesives and architectural coatings. It effectively prevents foam formation during manufacturing and application, ensuring optimal product performance
