Features
  • Thixotropic additive for use in water-based coatings systems whose binders or additives contain free hydroxyl and carboxyl groups
  • Strongly pseudoplastic and non-Newtonian rheology modifier
  • Contains shear thinning behavior
  • Develops viscosity in the low shear range
  • Improves viscosity stability after tinting with Universal Colorants in coatings
  • Once applied, the structure rebuilds slowly for improved flow and leveling while retaining good sag resistance
  • VOC-free
  • APEO-free
  • Tin-free

Dosage
0.5 – 2.0% on total paint formulation The degree of thixotropy will depend on the type of reactive groups present in the system, the pH of the coating (ideally between 7.5 and 8.5), the level of the desired gel structure and the amount of Borchi® Gel PN used. The exact dosage should be experimentally determined. Borchi® Gel PN can be added to the mill-base or as a post add provided good mixing conditions are used.
