Products and services
- Nanolith F Series PA Co-Solvent pigment chips for formulating flexographic and rotogravure printing inks, offering pigment pre-dispersion with narrow pigment size distribution, excellent optical properties (gloss, transparency, hue), high colour development, dust-free handling, 100% solid content, and grinding fineness <5 micron; designed for ink producers needing adhesion to polyolefin and other film substrates.
- Spectra P Polyol-based pigment dispersions dispersed in 100% solids polyol resin, compatible with a wide range of urethane applications including solvent-borne and two-component polyurethane systems; used by flexible, rigid, and semi-rigid foam producers, shoe sole manufacturers, and cast/injection molded product makers.
- Spectra D Plasticizer-based pigment dispersions (color pastes) offering high colour strength, minimum micron size, low use cost, and good compatibility; intended for polyurethane flexible and rigid foams, PVC flexible articles, artificial leather, compounds, molding, extruding, floor coatings, and adhesives.
- DURA PU 101 Polyurethane plasticizer product used in flexible packaging ink applications, supplied to industrial ink manufacturers.
- DURENE L 75 Aromatic polyisocyanate based on toluene diisocyanate, supplied at approximately 75% in ethyl acetate; used in two-component polyurethane coatings and adhesives to increase resistance to heat, oil, plasticizers, and solvents, with good adhesion to plastics; applied in furniture, parquet flooring, metal, paper, plastics, and mineral substrate coatings (sold as a polyisocyanate hardener for wood coats).
- OPTIMA 2000 Wetting and dispersing agent used in pigment dispersion formulations for flexible packaging inks.
- OPTIMA 16000 Wetting and dispersing agent used in pigment dispersion formulations for flexible packaging inks.
