It is film-building and shows good affinity to pigments. Thickening is independent of the pH. This product is suitable for the thickening and modification of the flow properties of water-based polymers (e.g., acrylic copolymers, vinyl acetate homopolymers, acrylic polymers, PVAc-VC copolymers, polyurethanes, amine-neutralized and emulsified systems) as well as for products based on polymeric binders such as emulsion paints, texture finishes, high-gloss emulsions paints, water-based putties, adhesives and corrosion primers. view less | |

It is particularly intended for use in paint manufacturing processes involving relatively high working temperatures. Rilanit® HT Extra produces very strong thixotropic effects in solvent based coatings. However, the type of solvent is of decisive importance to its thixotropic behavior. The solvents should mainly consist of mineral spirits and aromatics. A combination with esters, ketones and alcohols is possible up to certain limits. This white, microfine powder is a modified hydrogenated castor oil. Rilanit® HT Extra is suitable as a rheology additive for solvent based and solvent-free systems such as epoxy resin paints, plastisols, caulking compounds, putties and knifing fillers. view less | |

The polymer provides the rheological control effect through extensive swelling of the high molecular weight polymer in alkali, in the presence of water. Use of these thickening and rheological control agents allows formulation of coatings with an advantageous thixotropic behavior giving non stringy formulations which are easy to apply over a wide range of speeds and/or processes. Such formulations are ideally suited for airless spray applications. view less | |

It is designed to improve the Newtonian rheological properties over a wide shear rate interval without exhibiting any significant thixotropic effect. Thus, Viscalex® VG2 allows formulation of high gloss paint systems with optimal flow properties for manual application techniques. This white liquid is a formulation based on an acrylic copolymer. Typical end-use applications include: glossy emulsion paints for household paints and glossy, low duty industrial paints. Since Viscalex® VG2 is a synthetically derived product it is less susceptible to microbiological attack than derivatives of cellulose. Consequently the paint formulator can substantially reduce the level of biocide leading to a broader area of application. Viscalex® VG2 is most effective over the pH range 7.5 – 10.5. view less | |

The polymer provides the rheological control effect through extensive swelling of the high molecular weight polymer in alkali, in the presence of water. Viscalex® VM is a low to medium efficiency non-associative rheology modifier, ideal in matt & semimatt emulsion paint systems of 25-50% PVC. This white liquid shows excellent color stability in tinted systems, also providing good anti-sag and anti-spatter properties. view less |
