Beeswax
Beeswax is a natural wax produced by honeybees of the genus Apis. It is secreted by worker bees from specialized glands and used to build honeycomb cells. Beeswax is a complex mixture of esters, fatty acids, and hydrocarbons, characterized by a pale yellow to brown color, a pleasant honey-like aroma, and a firm yet pliable texture. It has excellent emulsifying, binding, and protective properties, making it widely used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food, and industrial applications. Beeswax is prized for its natural origin, biodegradability, and skin-friendly characteristics.
Bentonite Powder
Bentonite powder is a naturally occurring absorbent clay primarily composed of montmorillonite, a type of smectite clay mineral. It exhibits excellent swelling and water absorption properties, making it highly versatile in industrial and commercial applications. Bentonite forms a gel-like substance when mixed with water, which imparts viscosity and plasticity. It is used extensively for its binding, sealing, and adsorptive characteristics. Its fine powder form allows for easy incorporation in various processes including drilling, foundry, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture.
Domacryl
Domacryl is a high-performance acrylic polymer latex designed for use as a binder in water-based coatings, adhesives, sealants, and construction materials. It is a styrene-acrylic copolymer emulsion offering excellent film formation, adhesion, durability, and chemical resistance. Domacryl provides superior mechanical strength and flexibility in formulated products, making it ideal for applications requiring long-lasting protection and enhanced aesthetic qualities. The polymer is supplied as a stable aqueous dispersion with approximately 50% solids content, packed in bulk (190 kg drums) for industrial use.
Eagle Styrene Acrylic 72/ 50
Eagle Styrene Acrylic 72/ 50 is a co-polymer emulsion consisting of styrene and acrylic monomers, offered at 50% active solids concentration in water. It appears as a milky-white, low-viscosity liquid with a mild odor. This polymer emulsion combines excellent film-forming properties, adhesion, and mechanical strength, making it widely used in coatings, adhesives, sealants, and functional binders across multiple industries.
Hydrocarbon Resins
Hydrocarbon Resins C5 And C9 Petroleum Resins are synthetic petroleum-derived resins produced through the polymerization of C5 (pentene) and C9 (nonene) fraction monomers. These resins appear as pale yellow to amber solid materials, usually in pellet or flake form, characterized by tackifying and adhesive properties. C5 resins are derived from aliphatic hydrocarbons, while C9 resins originate from aromatic hydrocarbons. Often blended, these resins provide a balance of hardness, tackiness, and compatibility with various polymers. Widely used as tackifiers, binders, and modifiers, C5 & C9 hydrocarbon resins enhance performance in adhesives, coatings, rubber compounding, and more.
Penetrator Binder
Penetrator Binder is a high-performance binding agent designed to improve the adhesion and penetration of coatings, adhesives, and sealants into porous substrates. It enhances substrate wettability and strengthens the bond between the applied material and the surface, resulting in improved durability and performance. Penetrator Binder is commonly used in construction, wood treatment, and industrial coatings to ensure better material integration and resistance to environmental factors.
Petroleum Resin C9 Hydrocarbon
Petroleum Resin C9 Hydrocarbon is a thermoplastic hydrocarbon resin derived from the C9 fraction of petroleum cracking. It is a tackifying resin with excellent compatibility with various polymers, especially in adhesives, paints, rubber, and coatings industries. Known for its good color stability, fast curing, and strong adhesion properties, C9 Petroleum Resin enhances product performance in many industrial applications.
Shellac
Shellac is a natural resin secreted by the lac insect, primarily found in South Asia. It is processed into flakes or powder form and dissolved in alcohol to create a versatile film-forming agent. Shellac provides excellent adhesion, gloss, and moisture resistance, making it widely used as a wood finish, food glaze, and pharmaceutical coating. It is valued for its natural origin, biodegradability, and safe use in food and cosmetic applications.
