Coatings, Inks & Construction

NUOSPERSE® W 33

Pigment dispersing agent designed for waterborne coatings & inks, pigment dispersions & color concentrates. It is highly recommended for pigments, architectural-, can-, car OEM-, car refinish-, coil-, general industrial-, marine protective-, plastic-, wood- & leather coatings. Shelf life: 4 years.Benefits:APE-freeIt stabilizes the finished dispersion to prevent re-flocculation and viscosity driftIt provides full color development and maximum production outputIt offers rapid pigment wetting and good flow at high pigment loading 

THIXATROL® 5020W

Organic rheological additive designed for use in waterborne automobile OEM-, industrial-, plastic-, wood & furniture- and leather coatings. It is highly recommended for can coatings. It is a modified EVA emulsion. Shelf life: 18 months.Benefits:It enhances the rheological effectivity and metallic pigment orientation in coating filmPrevents the sedimentation of heavy pigments like metallic flakes and pearlescent pigments Good anti-settling and improved sagging performance 

THIXCIN® R

Rheological additive suitable for organic systems based on non-polar solvents and powder coatings. It is used in alkyd-, hammer finish-, solvent-free epoxy-, radiator- & textured paints, wood stains, plastisols, organosols and high-build paints. It is ideal for gelcoats & surfacers based on unsaturated polyesters. It is highly recommended for solvent-borne can- & general industrial coatings. It is a non-hygroscopic organic derivative of castor oil. Shelf life: 4 years.Benefits:It imparts high thickening efficiency and controls viscosityReduces settling of pigments and extendersControls sag without impairing flow and produces optimum leveling in paintsIt controls liquid penetration into porous surfaces
