Flame Retardancy
Hordaflam and Paroil® products are used in intumescent flame retardant coatings. Hordaflam products improve hardness, while Paroil® products plasticize the coating.
For water-based coatings, the Paroil® products can be readily emulsified. Pre-dispersed chlorinated alkanes are also available in the Doversperse product line.
Hordaflam and Paroil® products can also be considered as cost effective alternatives for brominated flame retardants in coatings and adhesives.
For more information on Dover Chemical's flame retardants, please refer to the products page for the Hordaflam, Paroil®, and Doversperse products.

Improved Adhesion
Formulation with Paroil®, Hordaflam and Doversperse products generally improves adhesion and reduces moisture vapor transmission. In many formulations, these products improve polar adhesion and are often used when adhesion-to-metal or other non-porous surfaces are difficult to achieve.

Water & Chemical Resistance
The Paroil®, Hordaflam and Doversperse products have beneficial effects for resistance to chemicals and sea water.
The Hordaflam products are also low-cost extenders for expensive vehicle solids. Up to 20% of epoxy, chlorinated rubber, etc. can be replaced.

Antioxidants
Antioxidants can be added to powder and coil coating formulations to prevent discoloration and loss of physical properties.

Emulsion Stability
Milidin trifunctional amines provide emulsion stability and long term pH control for water emulsions.
Milidin products can also aid in pigment dispersion and act as thickener activators
