Coatings additives

Our broad range of speciality surfactants continue to contribute to the growth of high-performance waterborne coatings additives that meet the most stringent end application requirements, are safer in use and have an improved environmental profile.

Emulsion technology is core to Croda and we therefore offer a selection of polymeric, polymerisable and non-ionic surfactants that can be used to formulate water-based coatings with enhanced film properties to meet your customer needs.

The speciality surfactants portfolio brings the following benefits:

• VOC elimination, reduction and replacement by water whilst retaining final paint film properties;
• enhanced final paint film properties such as gloss, colour development and improved drying times;
• improved coating properties such as hydrolytic stability and protection against moisture;
• optimised resin content for improved cost efficiency whilst retaining paint performance; and
• improved environmental profile.
