Performance addivites for paints & coatings

Formulating modern waterborne coatings is a balancing act.
Performance, application, stability and sustainability all compete for priority. Borregaard enables you to move beyond trade-offs.

 

TARGETED PERFORMANCE

Solve specific formulation challenges with precision.

Each Exilva® solution is designed to address a defined need, from drying to stability.

MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS

A unified bio-based platform.

Different functionalities, same proven foundation, enabling flexibility without complexity.

APPLICATION-DRIVEN VALUE

Performance where it matters.

From workability to durability, each solution is designed to impact real-world application.

SUSTAINABLE BY DESIGN

Replace synthetic additives without compromise.

Bio-based, VOC-free solutions aligned with modern regulatory and market demands.

From formulation challenge to productivity gain

Exilva® solutions are designed to improve application efficiency by enabling higher film build, fewer coats, faster drying and more robust application windows:

  • During formulation → stability, dispersion, rheology

  • During application → workability, sag control, film build

  • During drying → drying speed, early resistance

  • In the final film → durability, water resistance, surface finish

Pigment dispersants

Borregaard’s sustainable dispersants are used in a wide range of applications to modify the rheology of aqueous systems for both organic and inorganic pigments, like carbon black, iron oxides and titanium dioxide.

Our lignin biopolymers help you increase milling efficiency and solids loading of water-based systems. These bio-based dispersants control the rheology of your pigments for paint systems and inks for textile printing. They offer good viscosity control by modifying dispersion rheology when used alone or in combination with other dispersants.
