HUBER
Pergopak® flatting and matting agents are organic thermoset polymethyl urea resins (PMU) offering significantlydifferent performance advantages and benefits versus typical silica and polypropylene type flatting agents.
Pergopak products help formulators of industrial coatings, inks and overprint varnishes to achieve a higher performing balance of low gloss, rheology, abrasion resistance, coin-marking, water resistance, chemical resistance, heat resistance and soft feel – that they are unable to achieve with silica or wax flatting agents alone.

MICRO POWDERS, Inc.
Micronized wax additives and surface modifiers provide a toolbox of solutions that can enhance durability, functionality, aesthetics, and haptics. Micronized and dispersions of Synthetic, Polyethylene, Polypropylene, PTFE, Amide, Carnauba waxes and wax blends.

MINIFIBERS, Inc.
SHORT STUFF® highly fibrillated HDPE fibers are a unique form of polyolefin fibers having properties which offer many advantages over conventional products, such as fumed silica or cellulosics, in certain applications. These fibers can be used in coatings, block fillers, stucco, adhesives, putties, mastics, grouts, caulks, sealants, casting slurries, and more.

PIGMENTS

DCL CORPORATION
The global leader in the supply of color pigments and dispersions for the coatings Industry. Organic Yellow, Orange, Red, Blue, Green, Violet pigments. Inorganic Aluminum Paste, Anticorrosive pigments, Bismuth Vanadate, Molybdate Orange & Chrome Yellow, Chromium Oxide Green pigments, Milori Blue, Ultramarine Blue & Violet, Carbon Black, Lanox Iron Oxides, Zinc Ferrite & Zinc Oxide, Special Effect

RESINS

HAUTHAWAY
Hauthane water-based polyurethane dispersion portfolio affords formulators options for compounding coatings for wood and concrete flooring, automotive interior plastics, leather seating and garments, and flame retardant finishes for textiles.

ICD
PerformaSil® 100 Silicone water-based elastomers (SWBEs)- used in the formulation of ambient-cure or bake architectural coatings like waterproofing, protective, anti-graffiti, elastomeric, air and weather barriers, paint, co-binder to increase weatherability and water resistance, and exterior coatings in harsh weather conditions. It exhibits excellent adhesion to a wide range of substrates, such as masonry, glass, metal, wood, and textiles.

ZS INTERPOLYMER
SYNTRAN® water-based acrylic grades based on proprietary technologies that can be used in a variety of paint & coatings and graphic arts/ink applications. In addition to conventional alkali-swellable and emulsion acrylics, ZS Interpolymer offers four unique acrylic technologies: dual self-crosslinking technology gives superior water, stain and chemical resistance compared to traditional self-crosslinking acrylics, anionic-cationic hybrid technology gives cationic properties with anionic compatibilities, such as tannin blocking, inherently matte acrylic technology is an acrylic-based liquid matting agent without the need for inorganic chemistry, acrylic-olefin grafting technology offers better stability than traditional olefin waxes.

ANTI-GRAFFITI COATINGS

ICD
PerformaSil® 200 Anti-Graffiti Coating is a single component, water-based silicone elastomer that dries to form a tough, durable film which provides long-lasting, non-sacrificial graffiti and water protection. It cures to form a breathable membrane that is impervious to water and protects surfaces from spray paint, marker, and felt tip pens. Graffiti is easily removed with a power washer, scrub brush, or commercial graffiti cleaners. This coating can eliminate short-term constant repainting costs and prevent properties from losing value.

FUNCTIONAL MINERALS

BURGESS PIGMENTS
Thermo Optic Flash Calcined clays, OPTIWHITE, OPTI-WHITE MX, and OPTIWHITE P, are specifically designed to lower TiO2 levels, control sheen for maximum matte effect, and improve tint strength, touch-up, and scrub and burnish resistance. Conventional calcined kaolin grades Iceberg and Icekap K offer standard filler performance properties.

COVIA Corp.

An extensive range of cutting-edge and cost-effective functional performance mineral fillers and manufactured material solutions. MINEX functional filler made from nepheline syenite which provides unparalleled durability and resistance to abrasion, fading, cracking, and aging associated with both environmental and chemical exposures. IMSIL microcrystalline silica fillers are produced from an inert, naturally occurring alpha quartz with a unique grape-like morphology. Finer micronized grades are useful in formulating higher gloss paints and systems requiring controlled particle top size such as Industrial OEM topcoat coats and non-conductive inks.

MAGRIS TALC
Nicron engineered microcrystalline talc products are high-purity, premium mineral pigments ideal for high performance coatings requiring minimum viscosity, higher loading levels in VOC compliant and high-solids industrial
and architectural coatings. Engineered talc products impart hydrophobicity, water resistance, and barrier properties, anti-corrosion performance, film reinforcement, ease-of-dispersion, and anti-settling rheology for industrial maintenance coatings, marine coatings, and general industrial and protective coatings. Mistron high-brightness, high-purity talc products offer superior pigment spacing properties and flatting efficiency for architectural and industrial coatings. Vertal® products are highly lamellar (platy), multi-functional, cost-effective mineral pigments that improve the performance and reduce the formulated costs of interior, exterior, waterborne and primers.

SOUTHEAST PERFORMANCE MINERALS
