- Features
- Develops viscosity stability and improves rheological properties mainly in the lower shear range
- Enables application of thick layers on vertical surfaces
- Effectively prevents sagging
- Does not yellow or cause chalking in the cured film
- APEO-free
- Tin-free
- Benefits of Polyurethane-Based Associative Rheology Modifiers
- Borchi® Gel 0620 develops viscosity stability and pseudoplastic flow behavior. Depending on the type of binder used and other components of the system, it produces a pronounced shear-thinning flow behavior by means of a non-covalent network with binder particles and pigments. This rheology additive enables the application of thick layers on vertical surfaces. Borchi® Gel 0620 effectively prevents sagging and does not yellow or cause chalking in cured film. It provides good compatibility in critical systems.

- Dosage
- 0.3 – 0.5 % on total formulation The best incorporation method is to add it after the pigment/filler dispersion but prior to being let down. Under low-shear mixing conditions a pre-dilution in water or a mixture of water/propylene glycol may be necessary for complete incorporation. The exact dosage should be experimentally determined.

Storage & Handling
- Storage
Protect from the effects of weathering and store at temperatures between 5 and 30 °C. Once opened, containers should be resealed immediately after each removal of the product. Transport or storage may cause a foam on the surface or a slight phase shift. A homogenization of the product is necessary to recover a normal aspect before use without a negative impact on the effectiveness of the product. A darker color and hazen could be possible and will not affect the effectiveness of the product.
