Solvent-based systems represent the majority of applications in the coatings industry.

We offer a wide range of amino resins for high-solid performance and baking
reactivity, OH-functional acrylic copolymers, hyperbranched polyesters, hardeners,
and grinding resins for all solvent-based binder classes. Our high-quality products are
usable for 1K and 2K systems and fulfill the current VOC regulations.
Performance, however, is preeminent: Good adhesion, resistance to weathering,

yellowing, and chemicals; flexibility and economic cost in use, and especially
hardness and luster are among the hallmarks of these product ranges.
Our products cover a broad application window (especially temperature, humidity,

film thickness) and include applications for physical drying, low-bake systems, and
high-bake processes. They are usable for a majority of substrates and for matt
and high-gloss finishes.

Organic coatings and inks with aesthetical, protective, and other functional properties
are exposed to a variety of environmental and artificial factors such as solar radiation,
humidity, temperature change, microbiological attack, air pollutants, and many more.
In order to assure that coatings will maintain their beautiful appearance, we offer the
most comprehensive portfolio of stabilizers and other performance additives: UV
absorbers (UVA) and hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) for effective stabilization
against the detrimental effects of light and weathering, as well as phenolic and
non-phenolic antioxidants against thermally induced degradation during production,
processing, and service life. The product range is completed with optical brighteners.

Hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) are mainly derivatives of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl N-substituent
