Chemanova Specialty Functional Additives are designed to provide targeted improvements in formulation performance—whether in stability, durability, or processing control.
Each product in this group delivers a specific functional role—from pH buffering and corrosion inhibition to scratch resistance and emulsification. These additives help formulators achieve cost-effective, user-friendly, and high-performance results across coatings, inks, adhesives, and emulsions.
Nova SA101
All-in-One Performance & pH Control Additive (Water-Based)
An advanced multifunctional additive for water-based coatings. It improves dispersion efficiency, pH buffering, scrub resistance, and in-can corrosion control.
Key Value: Reduces up to 20% of traditional dispersant need while stabilizing formulations and enhancing gloss.
Ideal For: Emulsion paints, pigment concentrates, and water-based coatings.
Nova AS101
Anti-Scratch & Gloss-Leveling Additive (Solvent-Based)
Engineered to increase scratch resistance, improve surface slip, and deliver gloss uniformity in PU, NC, and alkyd coatings.
Key Value: Adds mechanical durability and aesthetic refinement to industrial and decorative finishes.
Ideal For: Furniture coatings, plastic finishes, automotive refinish, and metallic topcoats.
Nova EA101
Emulsifier Blend for Oil-in-Water Systems
A surfactant-rich blend that stabilizes O/W emulsions in coatings, agrochemicals, and industrial products. Ensures strong wetting, low foam, and broad oil compatibility.
Key Value: Supports efficient and stable emulsification with flexible pH range and minimal foaming.
Ideal For: Water-based paints, emulsions, cleaners, agro emulsions, and textile auxiliaries.
