Key benefits for architectural paints

Our range includes quality additives for architectural coatings, including wood stains and architectural wood coatings:

  • Rheology modifiers are suitable for various architectural paints, aerosols, wood stains and decorative paints
  • Abrasion and scratch resistance agents provide superior lubricity and slip quality
  • The matting agents are excellent for demanding applications, providing optimum resistance to slipping, rubbing, and scuffing.
