•         NUOSPERSE FX 7500W solvent free type of new polymeric dispersant for waterborne industrial coatings. This dispersant contains multiple anchoring groups and multiple solvation chains connected to the backbone of the dispersant which can deliver these advantages such as high dispersion efficiency, long-term stabilization, prevents pigment flocculation, wetting effect etc， This dispersant can be used for various pigments including carbon black and organic pigments which are not easy to disperse.
•         NUOSPERSE FX 7500W
•         THIXATROL AS 8053/PM 8056 low temperature activation organic thixotropes for protective and marine coatings.  These products deliver thicker coatings without sagging and without needing as much organic thixotrope.  Other benefits include increased manufacturing throughput and energy savings, improved storage stability, and improved batch-to-batch consistency. Moreover the products are predominantly based on renewable raw materials.
•         THIXATROL AS 8053/PM 8056
•         RHEOLATE 185 hydrophobically-modified alkali swellable emulsion (HASE). This product is a liquid acrylic rheology modifier formulated to replace cellulosic thickeners in dilutable high PVC coatings. ˙Benefits include the same in-can appearance and dilutability, reduction of production cycle time, and a more uniform appearance with less spattering and increased hiding.
