Borchers offers a range of additives with specific benefits for wide variety of adhesive and sealant applications in a multitude of industries. Our dispersant technology allows for higher solids content with lower viscosity which leads to easier application.
We offer dispersant technology and rheology modifiers that give adhesives superior hold, while you need lower force of application. Our products enable shear thinning with quick recovery, so adhesives won’t slump when applying them. Our rheology modifiers provide creep resistance without moisture sensitivity in both adhesives and sealants.
Our additives for adhesives and sealants:
Borchers offers a range of additives with specific benefits for anticorrosive primers. Our products allow for a higher solids content with lower viscosity, which increases the ease of application and decreases permeation. Our high-performance catalysts improve through cure at the substrate compared to standard cobalt products. This improves wet adhesion and provides outstanding barrier properties, which result in excellent corrosion resistance.
Because of this, our additives for anticorrosive primers enable a wider window of application with changing ambient conditions.
Our additives:
• Provide excellent corrosion resistance
• Minimize sagging and settling
• Improve storage stability
Borchers offers a range of additives with specific benefits for architectural applications. Our solutions maximize color acceptance of universal tinting systems and enhance colorant compatibility with interior and exterior paints, door and trim paints, interior and exterior wood, deck stains, etc.
Our high-performance catalysts reduce yellowing, accelerate cure, and enable curing in cold temperatures, which widens the seasonal window for paint application outdoors. Our rheology modifiers enhance paint stability and lessen the settling of pigments.
Our additives:
Borchers offers a range of additives with specific benefits for automotive applications. Our solutions provide excellent wetting for organic and inorganic pigments, resulting in lower grind times, improved color strength, high jetness, and high transparency.
Get the best color intensity with less pigment. Our dispersant technology increases chroma through stable low particle size pigment dispersions. Our additives for automotive applications provide excellent flow and leveling, substrate wetting, and deaeration in high-performance coatings.
Our additives:
Borchers offers a range of additives with specific benefits for composite applications. Our metal accelerators promote polymerization by decomposing peroxides at room temperature to crosslink the resin properly and efficiently.
We provide dispersant technologies that enable a higher solids content for dimensional stability and increased heat resistance, as well as dispersants that improve efficiency. Our high-performance catalysts enable fast peroxide initiation without cobalt. We offer rheology modifiers that activate fumed silica, resulting in better efficiency.
Our additives:
Our Borchers additives provide outstanding barrier properties, resulting in excellent corrosion resistance, as well as improved settling, stability, and color strength.
Floors face a number of environmental factors that may compromise their durability and appearance. These include foaming upon production or application, cratering and other surface defects, or separation of the coating in storage.
Adding Borchers additives to floor coating formulations can help overcome these common issues.
Our floor coating additives can provide:
Our solutions provide excellent wetting for organic and inorganic pigments resulting in lower grind times, enhanced color strength, and improved transparency. Our solutions also provide excellent flow and leveling, substrate wetting, and deaeration in high-performance coatings
Our metal-based additives offer rust and corrosion inhibition and promote anti-wear and extreme pressure properties.
Our solutions improve adhesion to metal substrates in 2K and baking systems. In addition, the combination of polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS) and acrylic additives reduce the surface tension to improve flow, substrate wetting, and deaeration in high-performance coatings.
Adhesive and sealant formulations must meet a wide range of performance requirements. These materials must apply smoothly, remain stable during storage, and cure reliably once
In automotive coatings, color isn’t just aesthetic; it’s a performance metric. From deep jet blacks to high-chroma specialty colors, the quality of pigment dispersion directly
Coating performance is a system — not a single additive Achieving high-performance automotive coatings requires more than optimizing one property at a time. Flow, cure
