ROKAmid KAD is a nonionic surfactant called INCI Cocamide DEA. It is produced on the basis of natural vegetable oils. It has the form of a clear or slightly turbid liquid from light yellow to yellow. ROKAmid KAD belongs to the most widespread co-surfactants and has a number of very interesting application properties.

EXOdis PC540A is an anionic polymer dispersant of hydrophobic nature intended for paint products. The commercial product is available in the form of a clear or lightly murky 25% aqueous solution of light yellow ammonium salt. In comparison with other dispersants of hydrophobic nature, EXOdis PC540A has similar dispersing properties, in particular with titanium white and mineral fillers.

SULFOROKAnol L327 (Sodium C12-15 Pareth Sulfate) is an anionic surfactant from the group of alkyl ether sulfates (INCI name: Sodium Pareth Sulfate), based on synthetic alcohol. The product comes in the form of a 27% water solution, from colorless to light yellow. SULFOROKAnol L327 is preserved with the MIT / CIT derivative, which ensures its microbiological purity.

The raw material used for production ROKAmid KAD MB is a derivative of palm kernel oil and comes from certified crops. This product is RSPO Mass Balance certified. ROKAmid KAD MB is a nonionic surfactant called INCI Cocamide DEA. It is produced on the basis of natural vegetable oils. It has the form of a clear or slightly turbid liquid from light yellow to yellow. ROKAmid KAD MB belongs to the most widespread co-surfactants and has a number of very interesting application properties.

ROKAmid KAD/2A MB is a derivative of palm kernel oil and comes from certified crops. This product is RSPO Mass Balance certified ROKAmid KAD/2A MB is a non-ionic surfactant with the INCI name ‘Cocamide DEA’. It is based on natural vegetable oils. It has a form of a clear or slightly turbid light-yellow to yellow liquid. ROKAmid KAD/2A MB is one of the most common co-surfactants, which has a range of very interesting application properties. Most of all, it is used as a rheology modifier, that is a thickener which improves consistence by creating so-called mixed micelles. Among other KAD series ROKAmides, it shows improved thickening properties compared to the ROKAmid KAD or KAD/1A. When mixed with anionic surfactants, it increases and stabilizes the quality of foam. ROKAmid KAD/2A MB is very effective even at a low concentration.

ROKAmid KAD/2A is a non-ionic surfactant with the INCI name ‘Cocamide DEA’. It is based on natural vegetable oils. It has a form of a clear or slightly turbid light-yellow to yellow liquid. ROKAmid KAD/2A is one of the most common co-surfactants, which has a range of very interesting application properties. Most of all, it is used as a rheology modifier, that is a thickener which improves consistence by creating so-called mixed micelles. Among other KAD series ROKAmides, it shows improved thickening properties compared to the ROKAmid KAD or KAD/1A. When mixed with anionic surfactants, it increases and stabilizes the quality of foam. ROKAmid KAD/2A is very effective even at a low concentration.

ROKAmid RAD (Oleamide DEA, Rapamide DEA) is a non-ionic surfactant of the alkanolamide group (INCI name: Rapamide DEA or Oleamide DEA). The product is a clear or slightly turbid liquid with a light yellow to yellow color. ROKAmid RAD is produced on the basis of rapeseed oil. This is a great advantage compared to surfactants based on coconut oil or palm kernel oil, as a stable price of the main raw material guarantees stable prices of the product.

ROKAmid KAD/1A (Cocamide DEA) is a non-ionic surfactant (INCI name: Cocamide DEA). The product has slightly better thickening properties compared to ROKAmid KAD. It is produced from natural vegetable oils. It is available in the form of a clear or slightly cloudy liquid with a light yellow to yellow color.

ADDAPT PolySurF HPL is a solvent-free UV-curable additive. It can also act as a polymerisable lipophilic non-ionic surfactant and/or polymerisable plasticizer. It is a proprietary mixture of Acrylated mono-and di-Phosphate ester: the mono-Phosphate ester being O-C12-C14 modified; where the reactive Acrylate group is Methacrylate.
