Low-VOC Coalescents
–
A favorable performance and regulatory profile for paints and coatings K-FLEX® coalescents are ultra-low VOC and offer excellent handling and performance properties in architectural, industrial, and direct-to-metal coatings. Highly compatible with conventional coating polymers, the coalescents afford greater permanence in the polymer film, resulting in stronger, better-coalesced films with excellent characteristics, such as scrub resistance, hardness development, salt fog resistance, dirt pick-up resistance, and gloss. The excellent chemistry profiles of K-FLEX coalescents support today’s stringent regulations and are classified as non-SVHC, non-PBT, and label-free in the EU under CLP and GHS regulations.
Industrial Antioxidants
–
Good-Rite antioxidants provide critical performance and protection in applications such as rubber and plastics, defending polymers from oxidative degradation due to heat, light, gas fading, peroxides, shear, and other dynamic factors. Good-Rite Stalite S is an aminic, general purpose antioxidant for rubber with excellent solubility, thermal and oxidative stabilization, as well as low volatility. Good-Rite 3114 is offered in several grades for plastics and provides excellent thermal, UV, and color stability (non-yellowing).
Industrial Intermediates
Non-Phthalate Plasticizers and Modifiers
–
K-FLEX® and Kalama® VITROFLEX® plasticizers and modifiers are non-phthalate, high compatibility solutions that provide manufacturers of vinyl, plastisols, adhesives, caulks, and sealants with many benefits to performance and manufacturing efficiency, while also minimizing health, safety, and regulatory concerns. As high solvating PVC plasticizers, K-FLEX and Kalama VITROFLEX products economically achieve the same excellent performance associated with traditional phthalates. Many product grades are certified to specific FDA clearances for use in indirect food-contact applications.
