Function




           
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Catalyst
 
     Catalysts or initiators start, promote or enable chemical reactions. Catalysts are not co-reactants and do not become part of the end-product. 
 
   Crosslinker / Vulcanizer
 
     Crosslinkers, vulcanizers and vulcanizing agents are additives used to enhance crosslinking, vulcanization or bonding between polymer chains.
 
   Curing Agent ( Hardener / Curative)
 
     Curative, curing, setting or hardening agents consist of catalysts, reaction initiators, co-reactants, crosslinking agents. When added to a polymer resin or adhesive, curing agents cause polymerization, which hardens the resin into solid plastic or elastomer form.
 
   Initiator
 
     Initiators trigger chain reactions or polymerization processes. They can be part of the chemical process and become part of the end product. As the reaction proceeds, additional initiating units are created. Hardeners are co-reactant resins that initiate and become part of the end-structure or polymer.
 
   Reaction Accelerator
 
     Reaction, set or polymerization reaction accelerators speed up the progress of a reaction.
 
   Reaction Terminator / Retarder
 
     Reaction, set or polymerization reaction terminators or retarders slow down or stop the progress of a reaction.
 
   Specialty / Other
 
     Other unlisted, proprietary or specialized function.

Applications




   Applications       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Adhesives / Sealants
 
     Additives or agents are designed or suitable for the modification of adhesives or sealants. These additives or agents include: adhesion promoters, impact modifiers or tougheners, wetting agents, UV stabilizers, leveling agents, thickeners, thinners, rheology modifiers, extenders or bulking agents, and other specialized chemical additives.
 
   Coatings / Paint
 
     Additives are designed or suitable for coatings, inks or paints such as thinners, thickeners, leveling agents, rheological agents, wetting agents, color or pigment stabilizers, UV stabilizers, biocides, catalysts, curing agents, defoamers, corrosion or rust inhibitors, fire or flame retardants, slip agents, preservatives, waterproofing or hydrophobing agents.
 
   Cement / Concrete
 
     Additives or agents are designed or suitable for the modification of cements, mortars or concrete products. Cement additives include: grinding aids, pack set inhibitors, air entrainers, plasticizers, crack controllers, additives for corrosion protection and chemical resistance, flowability agents, release agents, strengtheners, set or reaction accelerators, and set or reaction retarders.

     Additives are designed or suitable for elastomers or rubber such as thinners, thickeners, leveling agents, rheological agents, wetting agents, color or pigment stabilizers, UV stabilizers, biocides, catalysts, curing agents, crosslinker, reaction initiators, reaction terminators, reaction accelerators, vulcanizing agents, defoamers, aerators, foaming or blowing agents, corrosion or rust inhibitors, fire or flame retardants, coupling agents, lubricity or slip agents, biocide, preservatives, plasticizers, heat stabilizers, impact modifiers or tougheners, strengtheners, release agents, dimensional stabilizers, waterproofing or hydrophobing agents.
 
   Plastics / Composites
 
     Additives are designed or suitable for plastics or composites such as thinners, thickeners, leveling agents, rheological agents, wetting agents, color or pigment stabilizers, UV stabilizers, biocides, catalysts, curing agents, crosslinkers, reaction initiators, reaction terminators, reaction accelerators, vulcanizing agents, defoamers, aerators, foaming or blowing agents, corrosion or rust inhibitors, fire or flame retardants, coupling agents, lubricity or slip agents, biocide, preservatives, plasticizers, heat stabilizers,  impact modifiers or tougheners, strengtheners, release agents, dimensional stabilizers, waterproofing or hydrophobing agents.
 
   Wood Products
 
     Additives are designed or suitable for wood processing and treatment applications. Products include biocides, insecticides, preservatives, waterproofing or hydrophobing agents, wetting agents, color or pigment stabilizers, and UV stabilizers.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted or specialized applications.
