Rheology Modifier Promoting Pigment Wetting and StabilizationBorchi® Gel L 75 N is a polyurethane-based, non-ionic liquid rheology modifier that promotes good pigment wetting and stabilization and is VOC-, APEO-, and organo tin-free. It is a HEUR thickener that develops viscosity stability in water-based coatings, mainly in the medium shear range. However, Borchi® Gel L 75 N can also provide well-balanced efficiency in high shear ranges. Typically, the shear range is between 1000 s-1 to 10000 s-1 depending upon the binder type and other ingredients in the coating.

Features & Benefits

Features
  • Develops viscosity stability in water-based coatings mainly in the medium shear range
  • Improves rheological properties of water-based coatings systems for easier brush and roller application
  • Does not yellow or cause chalking in the cured film
  • VOC-free
  • APEO-free
  • Organo tin-free

Applications & Uses

Application Method
Applications
  • Coatings
    • Acrylic gloss
    • Anti-corrosion
  • Small particle size emulsions
Dosage
  • 0.1 – 2.0% on total paint formulation

Gloss paints may require a higher amount. The exact dosage should be experimentally determined. The thickening action of Borchi® Gel L 75 N may be reduced by polar, water soluble film forming solvents such as alcohols, glycols and glycol ethers. However, low polar solvents such as butyl diglycol acetate and Texanol® will increase the viscosity effect.
