Product Highlights

CLiQFLOW 680 is recommended as co-thickener in modern,environmentally friendly high value decorative latex paintsto reduce spattering of the paint during roll application and to improve leveling behavior, glossdevelopment, hiding power and brush drag.

CLiQFLOW 680 is recommendedas single thickener in water borne alkyd emulsions to achieve an “alkyd-like” flow behavior in gloss or high gloss systems.

Applications & Uses

Application Method
Coating Type
Level of Use

CLIQFLOW 680 can be added at any production stage. Pre-dilution of the thickener is not required.

The optimum loading level should be determined for each system using a loading ladder study. A levelbetween 0.3 –2.0 %on total is typically required to achieve the required properties.A higher loading level might be required in alkyd emulsions to achieve the required high shear viscosity.
