Optime’s wetting and dispersion additives are a powerful solution for the industrial applications industry. These additives are specially designed to enhance the dispersion of solid particles in liquid systems, allowing for improved stability and performance in various applications. By reducing surface tension and improving wetting, these additives can increase the efficiency of processes such as grinding, milling, and coating. Additionally, they can reduce viscosity, improve flow properties, and increase the shelf life of finished products.

Optime’s wetting and dispersion additives are compatible with a wide range of materials and can be used in industries such as paints and coatings, adhesives, and printing inks. Overall, the use of these additives can lead to significant improvements in product quality, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

Optime’s surface additives have excellent wetting properties, which enable them to create a stronger bond between the surface and the coating, resulting in a more durable and long-lasting finish. Our surface additives are also highly effective in improving surface levelling and substrate wetting, leading to improved adhesion and reduced defects such as pinholes, craters, and orange peel. In addition, these additives can improve scratch resistance, increase gloss, and reduce the coefficient of friction, which leads to better efficiency and productivity in industrial applications.

Overall, Optime’s surface additives provide numerous benefits that can help companies improve the quality, durability, and efficiency of their industrial products.

Rheological additives are materials added to a liquid or a powder mixture to change its flow characteristics. In industrial applications, these additives are added to improve the processing, application, and performance of the end product.

Rheological additives are used in a wide range of industrial applications, such as coatings, adhesives, sealants, and inks. In adhesives and sealants, rheological additives improve the thixotropic properties of the mixture, preventing sagging and increasing the stability of the product during storage.

Defoamers are used in industrial applications to reduce and control foam formation. They are commonly used in the chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries.

In the chemical industry, defoamers are used to prevent foam formation during the production of chemicals, such as polymers and resins. In the food industry, defoamers are used to prevent foam formation during the processing of food products, such as soups, sauces, and beverages. In the pharmaceutical industry, defoamers are used to prevent foam formation during the production of drugs and to improve the quality of the final product. Defoamers work by either breaking up the foam or by preventing the formation of foam bubbles. They can be either oil-based or water-based and are chosen based on the type of foam and the application.

Waxes are commonly used in industrial applications for their unique physical and chemical properties, such as their melting point, viscosity, and water resistance. They are used in a variety of industries, including paper, packaging, food, cosmetics, and textiles.

In the paper industry, waxes are used as a coating to improve water resistance and prevent ink from spreading. In packaging, waxes are used as a coating to provide moisture resistance and to prevent the package from sticking to the contents. In the food industry, waxes are used as a coating to improve the appearance of fruits and vegetables and to prevent moisture loss. In the cosmetic industry, waxes are used as a thickening agent, emulsifier, and to provide a smooth texture to the product. In textiles, waxes are used as a lubricant and to provide water resistance to the fabric.

Specialty resins are materials used in the manufacture of a wide range of industrial products, such as composites, coatings, adhesives, and sealants. These resins are designed to meet specific performance requirements, such as high strength, durability, and resistance to harsh environments.

In composites, specialty resins are used as a matrix material to bind the fibres together, providing high strength and stiffness to the finished product. In coatings, adhesives, and sealants, specialty resins are used to improve the performance of the product, such as adhesion, chemical resistance, and durability.
