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

CERAFLOUR 917 is a temperature stable wax additive with excellent shear stability for solvent-borne and aqueous coating systems.

CERAFLOUR 1004 is a biobased, micronized polymer with wax-like properties based on corn starch, for aqueous and solvent-based systems for matting and creating a soft-feel effect in the coating, with high transparency properties.

BYK-1691 SD is a VOC- and silicone-free, polymer-based defoamer formulated for mineral-bound construction materials. This high-efficiency, free-flowing powder enhances leveling properties and provides long-lasting defoaming effects, ensuring optimal surface quality even at low dosages across diverse mineral binder systems.
