At a glance

• dispersing agents for full range of coatings and ink formulations

• highly efficient solutions for aqueous, solvent-based, high solids or 100 % solids systems and for universal pigment concentrates

• broad technology portfolio including polymeric, oligomeric and surfactant-based dispersing agents

• award-winning Controlled Free Radical Polymerization (CFRP) technology allows for higher efficiency and broader compatibility which creates optimal rheology and improved coloristics

• benefits including outstanding viscosity reduction, increased color intensity and hiding power, enhanced gloss, low VOC and APEO-free and improved freeze-thaw stability

Dispersing agents

Dispersing agents are used to wet and stabilize pigments and other particles within paints, coatings and ink formulations. For formulators they represent an essential component as they provide color strength, gloss, viscosity stability and prevent sedimentation of particles.

Wetting agents and surface modifiers

Wetting agents and surface modifiers provide a formulation with adequate wetting properties, enhance different component compatibility and/or improve the appearance of a coating surface. Within this product group, BASF offers wetting agents, flow and leveling agents, and slip agents.

At a glance

• wetting, flow and leveling, and slip agents for aqueous and non-aqueous coatings

• broad technology portfolio including polymeric, oligomeric and surfactant-based products

• slip agents with very good recoatability and wetting properties

• polymeric flow and leveling agents providing excellent intercoat adhesion

• benefits including high efficiency for dosage reduction and universal suitability

Defoamers

Defoamers suppress and destroy foam and its negative effects prior to and during application of a coating. By removing or inhibiting air bubbles they are important process aids throughout the paint production as well as the application process. Paint manufacturers benefit from foam-free production processes by reaching their desired results much quicker and do not have to worry about additional negative side effects, for example inaccurate filling of containers due to entrapped air. During application the build-up of foam has to be prevented to ensure an optimum paint surface without any remaining bubbles or other surface defects.

At a glance

• broad selection of defoamer technologies including products based on mineral oils or native oils as well as specialty-emulsion defoamers, organo-silicone-based and silicone-free products and star-polymer defoamers

• focus on establishing a perfect balance between excellent foam suppression, high compatibility, long-term efficiency, easy-handling and environmental compliance in the form of VOC-free, low VOC and low odor solutions

Rheology modifiers

Rheology modifiers enable formulators to adjust the flow behavior of paints. That way, painters benefit from improved viscosity and application characteristics. For example, rheology modifiers from BASF reduce dripping and spattering of paint during roller or brush application. Sag resistance of a paint is improved by a rapid but controlled viscosity increase after application. During transport and storage of the paint, the rheology modifiers prevent sedimentation of the pigments within a formulation.

At a glance

• broad portfolio of synthetic rheology modifiers, including non-ionic associative (HEUR/HMPE), anionic associative (HASE) and non-associative thickener (ASE) technologies

• focus on water-based systems with highly efficient products that provide additional functionality like wetting properties and health or environmental aspects (free of VOC, odor, APEO and heavy metals)
