Products in Packaging & Paper: Thickener

Oppanol® B 12 SFN is used in the manufacturing of adhesives, sealants, lubricating oils, coating compounds, and chewing gum. It consists of medium-molecular-weight polyisobutenes, which are soluble in aliphatic, aromatic, cyclic, and halogenated hydrocarbons. Their solvation tendency increases with the length of the hydrocarbon chain.

Texicryl® 13-319 is a hydrophobically modified alkali swellable emulsion designed for use as a rheology modifier in waterbased formulations. It is highly effective in modifying viscosities at low shear rates to avoid both settling and sagging. It has been designed for use in the formulation of textured coatings, woodstains, paints and waterborne coating systems.

VIVAPUR® HPMC K15M is a high viscosity hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose in powder form. It is solvable in water and forms a reversible gel above a specific gelling temperature. VIVAPUR® HPMC K15M can also be used to increase tack and form transparent and flexible films which show oil barrier properties. VIVAPUR® HPMC K15M is an EU approved food additive which complies with the specifications according to Reg. (EU) No. 231/2012 and Food Chemical Codex. For an EU usage please consider food categories and maximum levels listed in Reg. (EC) No 1333/2008.

VIVAPUR® Alginate FD 127 is a sodium alginate in form of a brown fine granule. With the addition of higher valent ions (e.g. Ca2+) it can be used to form gels or biobased and transparent films, which provide oil and oxygen barrier properties. VIVAPUR® Alginate FD 127 is an EU approved food additive which complies with the specifications according to Reg. (EU) No. 231/2012 and Food Chemical Codex.

VIVAPUR® Alginate FD 170 is a sodium alginate in form of a creamy-white powder. With the addition of higher valent ions (e.g. Ca2+) it can be used to form gels or biobased and transparent films, which provide oil and oxygen barrier properties. VIVAPUR® Alginate FD 170 is an EU approved food additive which complies with the specifications according to Reg. (EU) No. 231/2012 and Food Chemical Codex.

TAFIGEL PUR 54 is a low viscous, solvent-free associative thickener which builds up and stabilizes viscosity by forming a network between polyurethane, binder molecules and other paint ingredients. TAFIGEL PUR 54 can be used alone or in combination with other TAFIGEL thickeners, as well as with further technology thickeners.TAFIGEL PUR 54 is recommended for use in following systems: Interior and exterior paints, latex paints, anti-corrosive paints, emulsion plasters, adhesives, putties and printing inks. TAFIGEL PUR 54 is suitable for indirect food contact applications.

HisarCal® St-3 is used in the paper industry. By adding 15-30% to cellulose, micronized calcite is used primarily in the production of writing papers, wallpapers, and cardboard. Because of its high whiteness, low cost, and other technical benefits to paper, it has replaced kaolin in the paper industry over the last ten years, beginning in Europe.
