Discover all defoamers below:
Borchers offers a range of driers for coatings. These metal carboxylates enhance the oxidative and through drying of paints, coatings, and printing inks. Discover all driers below:
Borchers offers two moisture scavenger products: Additive TI and Additive OF. Moisture scavengers are used to chemically eliminate water in solvent borne systems via different mechanisms, thereby reducing the chance of moisture-related issues. Common moisture-related issues are gloss reduction, haze formation, and foam generation in polyurethane coatings. Additive TI is a 100% active, highly reactive isocyanate moisture scavenger for polyurethane. It can be used in 2K polyurethane systems and moisture-cured 1K polyurethane systems to dehydrate raw materials, such as pigments, fillers, and solvents. Additive TI provides short-term dehydration. Additive OF is a 100% active moisture scavenger for polyurethane. It can be used as a package stabilizer in 1K and 2K polyurethane systems. Additive OF provides long-term dehydration and improved storage stability. The benefits of our moisture scavengers include: • Improved storage stability • Dehydration of pigments, fillers, and solvents in the production process of 1K and 2K polyurethane systems Discover all moisture scavengers below:
Borchers offers a product line of additives for rheology modification. Borchi® Gel additives are associative and non-associative rheology modifiers for water-based coatings and paints. The Borchi® Gel product line offers low to high shear range polyurethane, acrylic, and zirconium complex thickeners to ensure optimal flow and leveling combined with anti-sag performance. Our additives have a significant influence on the storage stability and application properties of the coatings system. The benefits of our rheology modifiers are: • Significantly improved storage stability • Improved application properties • Optimal flow and leveling • Anti-sag performance Discover all rheology modifiers below:
Borchers offers a range of anti-blocking agents. Borchi® Coll 10 and 20 are nano-silica dispersions. Our additives improve anti-blocking and matting in water-based paints and coatings. Discover all anti-blocking agents below:

Borchers offers a range of high-performance flow and leveling additives for coatings and paints. Our Borchi® Gol product line contains modified polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and acrylic additives. Borchi® Gol products reduce the surface tension of the coating. This improves flow, substrate wetting, and slip. Many surface defects – such as fisheyes and cratering – are related to surface tension. By correcting or reducing the surface tension of coating systems and paints, most of these defects can be resolved. The benefits of our flow and leveling additives are: • Elimination of surface defects, such as fisheyes and cratering Discover all flow and leveling additives below:
