Long Oil
Whatsapp Order
Long Oil refers to oils with a high content of unsaturated fatty acids, particularly linoleic and linolenic acids, commonly derived from drying oils such as linseed, soybean, or safflower oil. These oils have extended drying times and are used in various industrial applications where slow curing and flexible film formation are desired. Long oil is a key component in producing long oil alkyd resins, which are widely used in coatings, paints, varnishes, and printing inks due to their excellent adhesion, flexibility, and durability.

Binder
A binder is a broad category of substances—organic or inorganic—used to hold different materials together in a cohesive mass. Common binders include natural polymers (starch, cellulose derivatives, proteins), synthetic resins (PVA, acrylics, phenolics), and inorganic binders (clays, cement, lime). They are essential in industries such as pharmaceuticals, construction, coatings, ceramics, adhesives, and printing, where they provide structural integrity, adhesion, and controlled release properties.
Clear Emulsion
Clear Emulsion is a transparent or translucent mixture of two immiscible liquids—typically oil and water—stabilized by emulsifying agents to form a stable, homogenous system. This product is widely used in cosmetics and personal care, pharmaceuticals, and specialty industrial applications due to its lightweight texture, ease of absorption, and aesthetic appeal. Clear emulsions offer a visually appealing, non-greasy feel with the advantages of both oil and water phases, delivering moisturizing, protective, and active ingredient-carrying benefits. Their clarity distinguishes them from traditional creamy emulsions, making them popular in modern skincare and cosmetic formulations.
Eagle Vam Veo( VV50/55)
Eagle VAM VEO VV50/55 is a water-based vinyl‑acetate–ethylene (VAM‑VEO) copolymer emulsion, formulated at 55% active solids. It presents as a milky-white, medium-viscosity liquid with a mild emulsion odor. This copolymer combines excellent film formation, adhesion, flexibility, and toughness, tailored for use in coatings, adhesives, sealants, and functional binders across multiple industries.
Epikote 828 (Epoxy Resin)
Epikote 828 (Epoxy Resin) is a liquid bisphenol-A-based epoxy resin with a low molecular weight. It is one of the most widely used general-purpose epoxy resins in industrial applications due to its excellent mechanical, chemical, and thermal properties. Epikote 828 cures with various hardeners, especially amines, to form thermoset polymers with outstanding adhesion, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability.

It is primarily used in coatings, adhesives, composites, electrical encapsulation, flooring systems, and structural materials.
Latex
Latex is a natural or synthetic colloidal dispersion of polymer microparticles in an aqueous medium. Natural latex is harvested from rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) and appears as a milky fluid rich in rubber particles suspended in water. Synthetic latexes are produced from various monomers such as styrene-butadiene or acrylics. Latex exhibits excellent elasticity, flexibility, and adhesive properties. It is widely used in manufacturing gloves, balloons, coatings, adhesives, paints, and various molded products. Its film-forming ability, water resistance, and durability make it a versatile material across industries.
Linseed Oil Alkali Refined
Linseed Oil Alkali Refined is a vegetable oil extracted from flax seeds and then refined using alkali treatment to remove impurities, free fatty acids, and gums. This refining process enhances the oil’s stability, color, and odor, making it suitable for industrial, artistic, and manufacturing uses. It is a drying oil known for its excellent film-forming properties, quick drying time, and good adhesion to surfaces. Alkali refined linseed oil is widely used in paints, varnishes, inks, and as a raw material in chemical industries.
Linseed Oil Raw
Linseed Oil Raw is the unrefined, natural oil extracted from flax seeds through cold pressing or solvent extraction. It contains natural impurities such as gums, waxes, and free fatty acids, giving it a darker color and stronger odor compared to refined oils. Raw linseed oil is a drying oil known for its excellent film-forming and adhesive properties. It is widely used in traditional wood finishing, oil painting, and industrial applications where natural and slow-drying oil is preferred.
Setamine ( Melamine Resin)
Setamine (Melamine Resin) is a thermosetting polymer widely used for its excellent hardness, chemical resistance, and thermal stability. It is produced by the reaction of melamine with formaldehyde and is commonly utilized in coatings, laminates, adhesives, and molding compounds. Setamine offers superior durability, scratch resistance, and moisture resistance, making it ideal for high-performance surface finishes and industrial applications.
