Features & Benefits

Benefits of Rheology Modifiers for Anti-Sagging and Spray Application
Borchi® Gel 0621 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. As a rheology modifier for anti-sagging and spray application, this solution enables the application of thick layers on vertical surfaces. Borchi® Gel 0621 effectively prevents sagging and does not yellow or cause chalking in cured film.
Features
  • Develops viscosity stability and improves rheological properties mainly in the low shear range
  • Enables application of thick layers on vertical surfaces
  • Effectively prevents sagging
  • Does not yellow or cause chalking in the cured film
  • Free of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs)
  • APEO-free
  • Tin-free

Dosage
0.2 – 3.0% 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.
