Sun Chemical provides high performance additives like metal carboxylate driers & catalysts, sulphulrised EP additives, fluorosurfactants, alkylphenols, plasticizers etc. for multiple industrial uses and applications.

Metal Carboxylates

DIC’s metal carboxylates serve as catalysts in oxidative drying paints and coatings and as an adhesion control agent in steel cord tires. DIC offers a wide range of high-quality grades based on various metals and organic compounds.

Key attributes and features:

• Excellent curing promoter
• Cobalt free driers with no CMR label
• Suitable for low VOC coatings
• Excellent drying efficiency in combination with secondary driers
• Ultra low dark yellowing

DIC’s new DICNATE MV and SG driers are based on manganese salts and use a unique booster technology suitable for various types of oxidative drying inks and coatings. These new cobalt-free driers offer high drying efficiency at very low concentrations and combine well with all types of secondary driers. DIC’s DICNATE driers work in both solvent-based and water-based inks and coatings.

Sulphur Chemicals

DIC’s extreme pressure (EP) lubricant additives are designed for high pressure applications such as metalworking and cutting.
