D.R. Coats Ink & Resins Pvt. Ltd. (DRC) offers a range of bio-based additives (fatty esters), designed to meet the growing demand for sustainable solutions in the European market. Manufactured in India, these products offer high performance across various industrial applications including coatings, inks, adhesives, lubricants, and personal care.
Drowax™ 3506 is a clear yellowish liquid that serves as a direct replacement for Nonyl Phenol in epoxy resins and curing agents. With a low acid value and medium viscosity, it provides the same efficacy at reduced dosage levels.
Drowax™ 3509 functions as a versatile plasticizer and lubricant. It is suitable for applications in coatings, PVC, adhesives, and cleaning agents due to its emulsifiable degreasing properties.
Drowax™ 3510 (Methyl Ricinoleate) is a multi-functional additive, offering benefits in metalworking lubricants, corrosion resistance, and personal care formulations. It also works as a defoamer in paper processing and a fuel additive.
DRC’s bio-based additives fatty esters India line ensures compliance with European environmental standards while delivering consistent quality. These sustainable alternatives support industries seeking to reduce their carbon footprint without compromising on performance.
