RHEOCLEAN® HI 735 is a high efficiency polyurethane thickener developed for use in aqueous systems. It is readily dispersible in water and water/organic mixtures. It has been especially designed for use in anhydrous formulations where water is added at point of use. it is also particularly useful in emulsions and can be used in cold process systems. It is a non-ionic thickener, which provides shear thinning viscosity control of the emulsion and improve application properties.

Luna®-mer SFT is a cationic acrylamide-based thickening agent for acidic aqueous compositions, and in particular domestic detergents and laundry softeners.

XIAMETER AFE-0400 Antifoam Emulsion is a water-based 10% active silicone emulsion designed for fast foam knockdown and foam control in industrial applications such as dyeing, printing, fabric sinking, latex coating, bleaching, scouring, and finishing processes. It is an effective foam inhibitor in aqueous foaming systems and provides immediate foam knockdown and long-term foam inhibition at low addition levels. It can be added to all stages of the process and is stable in textile processes at pH 4–11. XIAMETER AFE-0400 Antifoam Emulsion can also be used to control foam up to 100°C. In addition, it has good compatibility with dyestuff, surfactants, and textile auxiliaries.

NXT SOLV 400 is a proprietary ketal ester solvent based on GFBiochemicals’ JavelinTM Technology. The raw materials are entirely plant-derived (e.g., cellulosic feedstock) and the product is a clear biodegradable liquid with a shallow odour profile. NXT SOLV 400 is remarkably functional in aqueous formulations. Applications include mainly cleaning and laundry detergency, extraction agents, solvents for paint and coatings, and water treatment agents. It can be used as a carrier or process solvent as well
