SMALL INGREDIENTS. BIG RESULTS.
Antimicrobials
Used in coatings to reduce microbial growth, AlphaSan® silver-based antimicrobial can help protect against microorganisms that cause odor, discoloration, biofouling, and other aesthetic problems.
Anti-Skinning Agents
Prevent in-can skin formation using Ascinin® and Borchi® anti-skinning agents. Our offerings include oxime-free options for improved labeling.
Defoamers
Reduce coating defects by destabilizing surface foam or accelerating entrapped air migration with Borchi® Gol, Borchi® Burst, and Borchers® AF defoamers.
Dispersants
Support lower grind times and enhanced color strength or transparency by using Borchi® Gen dispersing and wetting agents for organic and inorganic pigments.
Flow and Leveling Agents
Reduce surface tension and prevent defects like craters and pinholes with Borchi® Gol flow and leveling agents to enhance surface aesthetics and coverage.
High-Performance Catalysts
Enhance dry times and improve durability in alkyd-based coatings with Borchi® cobalt-free high-performance catalysts. Our advanced catalysts, which include low-VOC and VOC-free options, can impart non-yellowing, wet adhesion, and corrosion resistance in waterborne, solvent-borne, and solvent-free systems.
Rheology Modifiers
Achieve better flow, anti-sag, and application with Borchi® Gel rheology modifiers. These additives are low- to high-shear range polyurethane, acrylic, and zirconium complex thickeners.
Electroconductive Powders
Dissipate static charge in adhesives, inks, and coatings with Zelec™ electroconductive powders. These solutions are cost effective, allow for a broad spectrum of colors, and offer excellent durability, adaptability, versatility, and stability.
Silicones
Enhance coatings and paints with a range of silicone solutions that support performance.
