Description |
AXILAT |
AXILAT DF 770 DD |
OTH |
Axilat™ DF 770 DD is a foam control agent based on a mixture of mineral oil and nonionic surfactants on an inert carrier. It is APEO free. |
AXILAT |
AXILAT DF 775 DD |
OTH |
Axilat™ DF 775 DD is a foam control agent based on a mixture of mineral oil and nonionic surfactants on an inert carrier. It is APEO free. |
AXILAT |
AXILAT PSB 150 |
XSBR |
Axilat ™ PSB 150 is a styrene butadiene copolymer powder resin that is redispersible in water. Axilat PSB 150 redisperses to a particle size that is one-tenth of conventional latex powders, resulting in a very high binder power and enhanced adhesion for end use formulations. It is highly recommended for gypsum-based applications. |
AXILAT |
AXILAT SA 502 |
OTH |
Axilat SA 502 is a 100% amorphous “flash” alumina with a very high surface area. It is a set accelerator and can be used as an anti-shrinkage admixture for Portland cement. |
AXILAT |
AXILAT UP 600 B |
VACO |
Axilat UP 600 B is a vinyl acetate, vinyl versatate and maleic ester copolymer resin in redispersible powder form. It is redispersible in water and used in dry mortars to improve workability of fresh mortar; hydrophobic properties; adhesion to conventional substrates, especially after severe ageing conditions; and mechanical properties (flexibility, abrasion resistance and cohesive strength). It is a plasticiser-free powder, particularly suitable for ecologically demanding systems. |
DURAMUL |
DURAMUL 2164 |
PA |
Duramul™ 2164 acrylic emulsion has been developed especially for use in concrete and mortars. It acts as an internal plasticiser, adhesion promoter and as a strengthening agent. Other applications include the newer coating areas of two pack cementitious coatings and for asbestos fibre encapsulation in roofing applications. Duramul 2164 acrylic emulsion exhibits clear performance benefits over common PVA vinyl types of mortar additives, especially in terms of resistance to hydrolysis, weathering and oils. The emulsion also contains no calcium chloride. |
LIPATON |
LIPATON L 8262 |
XSBR |
LIPATON L 8262 is an aqueous styrene butadiene copolymer dispersion that is APEO free. This dispersion gives plasticising properties in cementitious systems. It also improves adhesion on various substrates. |
LIPATON |
LIPATON SB 29Y141 |
XSBR |
LIPATON SB 29Y141 is a water-based non-ionically stabilized hydrolysis-resistant dispersion of a carboxylated styrene-butadiene copolymer. It contains an antioxidant and an antifoam and is compatible with most hydraulic binders. LIPATON SB 29Y141 has been designed particularly for applications like industrial flooring screeds. This product is free from APEOs and ammonia. |
LIPATON |
LIPATON SB 29Y146 |
XSBR |
LIPATON SB 29Y146 is a water-based non-ionically stabilized hydrolysis-resistant dispersion of a carboxylated styrene-butadiene copolymer. The dispersion is freeze-thaw stable. It contains an antioxidant and an antifoam and is compatible with most hydraulic binders.This product is free from APEOs and ammonia. |
LIPATON |
LIPATON SB 29Y57 |
XSBR |
LIPATON SB 29Y57 is a water-based non-ionically stabilized hydrolysis-resistant dispersion of a carboxylated styrene-butadiene copolymer contains an antioxidant, a defoamer and is compatible with most hydraulic binders. This product is free from APEOs. |
LIPATON |
LIPATON SB 30Y160 |
XSBR |
LIPATON SB 30Y160 is a non-ionically stabilized, hydrolysis-resistant carboxylated styrenebutadiene copolymer latex. The dispersion contains an antioxidant and an antifoam agent, which is very effective for its use in hydraulic binders. This product is free from APEOs and ammonia. |
PLEXTOL |
PLEXTOL D 509 |
PA |
PLEXTOL D 509 is a ready-for-use finely dispersed aqueous dispersion of a methacrylic ester-acrylic ester copolymer. The dispersion contains an anionic/nonionic emulsifier system and is free from film forming aids, solvents and plasticizers. |
REVACRYL |
REVACRYL R 478 |
SA |
REVACRYL R 478 is a styrene acrylic copolymer dispersion containing antifoam. |
ROHAGIT |
ROHAGIT SD 9523 |
XSBR |
Rohagit SD 9523 is an anionic water based dispersion of a butadiene acrylate copolymer. |
