Increases impact strength of polylactic acid for use in sheet extrusion, calendering, injection molding and thermoforming. It retains high impact properties at low temperatures. Recommended for use in PLA for opaque applications or applications that do not require high transparency. Its typical use levels range from 2% to 15% by weight. It can be supplied as a masterbatch in PLA. It is especially effective in durable injection molding applications requiring high ambient and low temperature durability.

Biostrength^® modifiers are outstanding impact modifiers designed to improve the performances of biopolymers, such as polylatic acid (PLA). Biostrength^® additives are commonly used to strengthen performances in packaging, thermoformed sheets, and injection molding applications.

Gloss emulsion paints require the use of thickening agents which give various properties such as water retention and rheological properties (film build, Brush-ability and levelling of the film). Usual thickeners in emulsion paints provide poor rheological properties, giving a bad film build and levelling or a poor compatibility with the various paint components, and a decrease of the gloss level due to the formation of a haze after drying. BR 100 P has been especially designed to solve these problems. It is suitable for the thickening of anionic and non-ionic emulsions and particularly with styrene-acrylics, vinyl-acrylics and other copolymers. Beside gloss emulsion paints, the main applications for BR 100 P are in semi-gloss, interior and exterior flat emulsion paints, in anti-corrosive paints, in adhesives.

BR 125 NPF is a polyurethane associative rheology modifier which gives formulations a unique Newtonian rheological profile characterised by a low viscosity at low shear rate and a high viscosity at high shear rate.The main applications for BR 125 NPF are gloss emulsion paints, semi-gloss, flat dispersion paints. Formulation of anticorrosive paints or adhesives can also be based on BR 125 NPF.
