Products & services
Zephrym™ 3300B
Zephrym 3300B is a non VOC polymeric dispersant for organic and inorganic particles. Suitable for particle dispersion in aqueous and both low and high polarity non-aqueous systems. Zephrym 3300B finds use in a range of demanding dispersion applications.
CrodaTherm 5
CrodaTherm 5 is an organic phase change material (PCM) derived from plant-based feedstocks and has the form of a crystalline wax solid or oily liquid depending on temperature. It can be used for the compact storage of thermal energy and for thermal regulation, for example in cold chain logistics. It has a 100% renewable carbon content and is readily biodegradable.
Maxemul™ 6106
Anionic, copolymerisable surfactant for use as a stabiliser in latex binders typically used in waterborne wall paints, wood and metal protection coatings, pressure sensitive adhesives and elastomeric roof coatings. The surfactant is reactive towards vinylically unsaturated monomers. The surfactant enhances the colloidal stability of the latex and improves dry film properties.
Tween™ 24 LM
Tween 24 LM, a low moisture version of Tween 24, is a low logP adjuvant (0.25) and high HLB emulsifier (16.5) applicable for both built-in and tank mix adjuvants. Tween 24 LM is recommended when formulating hydrolytically unstable actives, or when antagonistic interactions exist between formulation components.
Atplus™ DRT-EPS
Atplus DRT-EPS is a tank mix adjuvant that combines adjuvancy properties, spray quality and drift control into one convenient product. It readily disperses in a tank mix meaning that no additional products are required. By controlling spray quality and reducing droplets that are prone to drift means that there is less wastage of products and less potential to damage neighbouring surroundings and habitats
Atlox™ BS-50
A ready-to-use WP delivery system with solid microorganisms. Designed to improve wettability and dispersibility without affecting spore viability. It is the first product developed by Croda especially for the organic market. This new product reduces the development time of new products offering agility and ease of formulation.
Atlox™ 4917
Atlox 4917 is a novel, aqueous dispersant delivering robust stability in complex and problematic formulations. Designed to expand our range of aqueous dispersants building on the well-established technology of Atlox 4913 and Atlox Metasperse products. This new innovative dispersant chemistry is easy to use and compatible with a wide range of active ingredients making it very convenient
Maxemul™ 7101
For your decorative paints and industrial coatings, Maxemul 7101 provides superior colloidal stability in the resin emulsion. With minimum impact on film properties, this versatile polymeric surfactant for alkyd resins can be used as an O/W emulsifier and as a dispersant. Indicated for long and medium oil alkyd emulsions.
