Small Ingredients. Big Results.
Our additives enhance dry times, color, and surfaces across paints, inks, adhesives, and industrial finishes. We have industry-leading solutions, including Borchers brand coating additives and specialty chemicals, that address appearance, application, durability, and storage challenges in DIY, wood, industrial, and other coating applications. With our performance additives and broader Milliken technologies, we help you develop more efficient and reliable coating products.
Antimicrobials
Used in coatings to reduce microbial growth, AlphaSan® silver-based antimicrobial can help protect against microorganisms that cause odor, discoloration, biofouling, and other aesthetic problems.
Anti-Skinning Agents
Prevent in-can skin formation using Ascinin® and Borchi® anti-skinning agents. Our offerings include oxime-free options for improved labeling.
Defoamers
Reduce coating defects by destabilizing surface foam or accelerating entrapped air migration with Borchi® Gol, Borchi® Burst, and Borchers® AF defoamers.
Dispersants
Support lower grind times and enhanced color strength or transparency by using Borchi® Gen dispersing and wetting agents for organic and inorganic pigments.
Flow and Leveling Agents
Reduce surface tension and prevent defects like craters and pinholes with Borchi® Gol flow and leveling agents to enhance surface aesthetics and coverage.
High-Performance Catalysts
Enhance dry times and improve durability in alkyd-based coatings with Borchi® cobalt-free high-performance catalysts. Our advanced catalysts, which include low-VOC and VOC-free options, can impart non-yellowing, wet adhesion, and corrosion resistance in waterborne, solvent-borne, and solvent-free systems.
Rheology Modifiers
Achieve better flow, anti-sag, and application with Borchi® Gel rheology modifiers. These additives are low- to high-shear range polyurethane, acrylic, and zirconium complex thickeners.
Electroconductive Powders
Dissipate static charge in adhesives, inks, and coatings with Zelec™ electroconductive powders. These solutions are cost effective, allow for a broad spectrum of colors, and offer excellent durability, adaptability, versatility, and stability.
Silicones
Enhance coatings and paints with a range of silicone solutions that support performance.
