Teraspartic® 295 is is an amine-functional resin whose chemical structure provides a unique reactivity with polyisocyanates and pre-polymers. Polyaspartic coatings based on Teraspartic® 295 can be produced with reactivity and gellation speeds from about 50 minutes to 60 minutes or more, depending on ambient and substrate temperatures, longer than any other polyaspartic amine. Higher temperatures speed the curing of a film, while lower temperatures result in a slower curing speed. Humidity also plays an important role.

Teraspartic® 230 is an amine-functional resin whose chemical structure provides a unique reactivity with polyisocyanates. Polyaspartic coatings based on Teraspartic® 230 can be produced with high reactivity and fast curing speeds of 1 to 2 minutes, depending on ambient temperature and with a trimer-type isocyanate. Higher temperatures speed the curing of a film, while lower temperatures result in a slower curing speed. Higher levels of humidity also increase the curing speed.

Teraflow® 1000 is a high-performance flow and leveling modifier for a wide variety of solvent-based and high-solids coatings systems, including urethanes, alkyds, acrylics, melamine-formaldehyde, nitrocellulose, polyvinyl butyral, urea-formaldehyde, phenolic, polyesters and epoxies. When used properly, Teraflow® 1000 offers outstanding flow and leveling, reducing surface defects such as craters, pinholes, fisheyes and orange peel. It offers bubble release qualities and contributes to pigment dispersion and color development.

ZETASPERSE® 175 is a non-ionic wetting and dispersing additive with focus on pigment wetting. It shows outstanding color strength development when used as a co-dispersant to an anionic polymer. It improves color acceptance when used in the direct grind of a base paint. Its key benefist are it serves as co-dispersant to improve pigment wetting, color acceptance and is effective at low dosages.
