The longevity of many of the products that surround us, as well as the attraction they generate due to their appearance, are conditioned by the characteristics of the coatings that envelop them.
In order to achieve this, Barcelonesa offers raw materials and additives of the highest quality, coming from first class manufacturers.

Paint additives
In paint manufacturing, there are many considerations to take into account: regulations to be complied with, environmental considerations and market trends set by consumers. This makes it necessary to constantly reformulate products in order to adapt to the customers’ needs.
Barcelonesa offers a wide range of additives for all types of paints, from powder paints to liquid paints or varnishes. Our additives allow us to solve both performance and ecological problems, without affecting competitiveness.
Some of the product families we can offer you are: Defoamers, Levelers, Wetting Agents, Dispersants, Thickeners and Rheological Agents are some of the ones you will find in our catalog.
Solvents
Solvents are an essential element in the paint to provide the right viscosity to obtain a good finish. Each type of paint needs a solvent compatible with the base paint, preferably of the same nature. Consult our range of solvents and if you do not find the one you are looking for, our technical team will help you to find it.
Organic Peroxides
Organic peroxides are used as polymerization initiators, through the generation of free radicals. Examples of which, within paint applications we would have the formation of acrylic polymers or unsaturated polyester, among others.
In addition, they are essential for the manufacture of composites in which fiberglass is incorporated. We have a wide variety of different organic peroxides, each one with its intrinsic properties and uses, depending on the properties required in the final product.
Pigments and Fillers
Pigments are crystalline products that confer color, according to their wavelength absorption behavior within the visible spectrum of light and according to their refractive index. Their shade and hiding power depend on this.
Depending on the composition of the pigment, the particle size and its distribution, we will cover all the chromatic possibilities, with which they will later endow the medium in which they are dispersed.
The fillers are usually inert inorganic compounds, with a neutral profile in terms of light absorption and diffusion, but which fill formulation spaces without altering the basic properties of the system, while providing additional solidity and may have synergistic effects when acting in conjunction with certain pigments. As these are high-density products, they also increase the density and body of the final system.
Polyurethanes
Polyurethanes are the most suitable solution for coating any type of surface, acting as an adhesive bonding very different materials together. It is capable of adopting different shapes, has a very high durability, is resistant to corrosion and weathering. It can be used to protect concrete constructions, steel railroad carriages or wooden furniture. It can also be used as an adhesive to bond materials as different as wood, rubber, cardboard or glass.
Resins
Resins can be used in different industrial sectors (construction, civil engineering, transportation, electrical circuits or renewable energies, among others) and can be used for protective coatings, flooring, tooling, molding and casting, production of laminates, adhesives and composites, among many other purposes.
The following families are available: epoxy, alkyd, acrylic, saturated and unsaturated polyester, polyurethane, silicone, hydrocarbon, as well as catalysts, hardeners and reactive diluents when necessary.
They are used in many applications due to their excellent adhesive, electrical and thermal properties, chemical resistance, toughness and dimensional stability. Today, however, it is not only the quality of the material that distinguishes one product from another. Environmental issues are becoming increasingly important.
So, with the environment in mind, we produce epoxy resins with a significantly lower carbon footprint and other environmental benefits. These are produced from glycerin-based epichlorohydrin, a renewable resource. Compared to epoxy resins produced from epichlorohydrin based on a fossil source (petroleum-propylene), epoxy resins produced in this way are more environmentally friendly.
Driers
Driers are chemical compounds that accelerate the drying of solvent-based paints, as well as printing inks and varnishes that dry by oxidation.
Within our range of driers, we can offer Co, Ca, Zr and Mn salts.
Other Essentials and Specialties
In Barcelonesa we not only focus on basic raw materials for the formulation of coatings. We are also interested in being at the forefront to offer our customers more technological products.
