Wetting and Dispersing Agent for Stabilizing Pigments and Fillers with Polar SurfacesBorchi® Gen 0650 is an anionic, APEO- and VOC-free wetting and dispersing agent for water- and solvent-based coating systems. This dispersant is highly effective in stabilizing pigments and fillers with very polar surfaces . These include titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) , iron oxide , and hydrophilic organic pigments.

MEKO-Free Anti-Skinning Agent for Solvent-Based AlkydsAscinin® Anti-Skin 0444 is a phenol- and MEKO- and oxime-free anti-skinning agent for oxidatively cured solvent-based low VOC coating systems and pigment pastes. This solution relieves regulatory concerns surrounding MEKO in Europe , Canada , and other regions. MEKO-free anti-skins further enhance sustainability when used with Borchi® OXY-Coat cobalt-free high-performance catalysts for solvent-based short, medium, and long oil alkyd coatings or Borchi® Dragon high-performance cobalt-free catalyst for solvent-based high solids, long oil alkyd coatings. Other MEKO-free anti-skins include: ● Ascinin® Anti-Skin 0445 ● Ascinin® Anti-Skin 1240 ● Borchi® Nox 1640 ● Borchi® Shield .

Tin-free catalyst for solvent-based two-component polyurethane coatings.

Borchi® Gol 0011 is a highly effective flow and air release agent for solvent-based and solvent-free coatings systems. With its 100% active formulation, it is able to improve the flow and surface properties of coatings while eliminating air bubbles that may form during application. This versatile product is compatible with all types of coating application methods and helps reduce pigment floating, ensuring a smooth and flawless finish.

Dispersing Agent for Carbon Black Pigments and Difficult to Disperse Organic PigmentsBorchi® Gen 0451 is a high molecular weight non-ionic and VOC-free dispersing agent for carbon black pigments . This dispersant provides better jetness in carbon black pigment dispersions and also improves color development in difficult to disperse organic pigments in both water- and solvent-based systems. It provides shorter grind times, higher gloss performance, high jetness, low viscosity dispersions, and long-term viscosity.

Borchi® Gen 0851 is a Wetting and Dispersing Agent for Organic Pigments / Color Development / High Jetness in Carbon Black Pigments. Carbon black and organic pigments are difficult to disperse in water-based formulations. Borchi® Gen 0851 is a non-ionic wetting and dispersing agent, designed to efficiently achieve maximum color generation and high jetness in aqueous compositions. The dispersing agent is high molecular weight and VOC-free. Borchi® Gen 0451 dispersant works well in solvent-based coatings. Borchi® Gen 0851 is a high molecular weight non-ionic and VOC-free dispersant for organic pigments and carbon black in water-based coatings.

Borchi® Gel PW 25 is a HEUR rheology modifier ( Hydrophobically modified Ethoxylated Ur ethane copolymer rheology modifier). This solution works well as a low shear range thickener for improved rheological profiles in coatings. Borchi® Gel PW 25 is an emulsifier-, APEO-, and organo tin-free non-ionic polyurethane-based thickener for water-based coatings.

Cobalt-Free Drier / Sustainable Solution for Improved Dry Time in Alkyd PaintBorchi® OXY-Coat is a metal-based high-performance cobalt-free drier catalyst for improved drying time in paints containing alkyd resins. It demonstrates excellent drying performance at low use levels in solvent-based short, medium, and long oil alkyd paint. This solution does not require the use of an auxiliary drier. Cobalt-free driers are eco-friendly drying solutions as they do not contain any metals that may face regulatory concerns . Borchi® OXY-Coat is particularly efficient in coatings using propylene glycol. Comparison of Borchi® OXY-Coat in Medium Oil Alkyd Paint Borchi® OXY-Coat provides improved drying time compared to a cobalt drier in medium oil alkyd paint. This oxidative curing catalyst also works well in short and long oil alkyd systems .

Zirconium drier designed for solvent-based systems.
