Starting Point Formulations for Coatings

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:

• Minimize sagging and settling
• Improve storage stability
• Allow higher inorganic filler loading
• Reduce costs

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:

• Provide excellent color acceptance
• Eliminate separation and defects
• Improve curing and prevention of skinning
• Enhance block resistance and substrate wetting

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:

• Provide excellent color development
• Improve slip
• Maintain overcoat ability

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:

• Enhanced surface quality
• Improved storage stability and separation prevention
• Longer pot life and improved hardness
• Better dry times and durability

We offer coating additives for excellent durability, including corrosion resistance and improved wet adhesion. Our solutions provide improved wetting for organic and inorganic pigments resulting in lower grind times, enhanced color strength, and reduced sagging. Other benefits include excellent flow and leveling, substrate wetting, and deaeration in high-performance coatings.

Borchers offers a range of additives with specific benefits for industrial and DIY wood applications. Our sustainable high-performance catalysts enable faster dry times and increase resistance to adverse conditions. We offer dispersants and rheology modifiers additives that provide transparent iron oxide pigmented stains with superior transparency, color, and stability.

• Enable ultimate transparency and low viscosity dispersions
• Improve curing and chemical resistance
• Enable enhanced substrate wetting and thickening
