COATINGS AND PAINTS

Additive innovations that go beyond surface level

ADDITIVES THAT ADVANCE EVERY FINISH

Our coating additives enhance the performance, durability, and aesthetics of paints and coatings. Our cobalt-free catalysts, oxime-free anti-skinning agents, and advanced modifiers help manufacturers deliver high-performing, reliable finishes across applications.

OUR CAPABILITIES AND EXPERTISE

Improved Regulatory Labeling

Our products are expertly engineered to address performance and durability in a way that improves product labeling. We offer additive solutions designed to be cobalt-free, oxime-free, APEO-free, and tin-free, as well as solutions that enable the reduction of formulation ingredients, emit low or no VOCs, and are low in cyclosiloxanes (<0.1%).

Faster Dry Times

Our high-performance catalyst solutions enable the oxidation, curing, and through drying of paints and coatings, and perform even in adverse drying conditions caused by weather and environmental factors. Faster dry times enable users to finish the job faster.

Superior Color Development

Dial up vibrancy or enhance transparency for precise color application that elevates your product. We offer color boosters, wetting and dispersing agents, and more for use with both organic and inorganic pigments in water- and solvent-based coatings.

ENVISION THE POSSIBILITIES

We focus on the small stuff—so you don’t have to. Using industry-trusted coating additives, driers, and catalysts, we help you develop cutting-edge coatings and paints that harness performance and meet evolving regulations across the globe. Let more than 100 years of chemical expertise work for you.
