As part of the strategic cooperation between Spolchemie and Fortischem, both part of the Kaprain group, we are launching a new product line of DECIDOL™ (TMDD) special additives. This is an expansion of our portfolio for coatings manufacturers.

Under the trade name DECIDOL™ we offer a range of acetyl alcohol-based surfactants ideally suited as a wetting agent and defoamer. These products fundamentally reduce surface tension, improve the wetting of surfaces, including hydrophobic substrates, regulate the formation of foam and help to stabilize the viscosity of the paint. The additives are non-toxic, silicone-free and fully compliant with REACH regulations.

DECIDOL™ is available as a highly pure product or as solutions in different concentrations of solvents such as monoethylene glycol (MEG) and propylene glycol (PG), which we are able to produce according to customer requirements. Useful applications include paints, printing inks, adhesives, cleaning agents and process fluids for metalworking.

"We are proud to provide our partners in the coatings production with new products that not only complements our portfolio of binders, but also underline our commitment to develop tailor-made products for our customers", says Lukáš Bartek, Director of SBU Specialities.
