Products in Construction Adhesives: Waterborne Ink

Texicryl® 13-308 is an APEO-free ASE (Alkali-Swellable Emulsion) rheology modifier designed for a broad range of water-based applications. It imparts a short pseudoplastic flow, enhancing the rheological properties of the system. This product is easily mixed into water-based systems and, in many cases, can be added directly to the system to be thickened, followed by pH adjustment.

Texicryl® 13-313 is an alkali swellable thickener crafted specifically for water-based formulations. This product excels in efficiently modifying viscosities at low shear rates to prevent both settling and sagging.

WÜKONIL® RT 50 is a paraffin dispersion for waterbased coatings. It's properties and advantages are Improves block-resistance Improves water resistance Improves rub resistance Improves slip. Our high quality wax emulsions and dispersions are a necessity for all customers who prefer working with ready-made emulsions or dispersions in contrast to a dry wax. The ease of incorporation is the key benefit of liquid products.

TAFIGEL PUR 54 is a low viscous, solvent-free associative thickener which builds up and stabilizes viscosity by forming a network between polyurethane, binder molecules and other paint ingredients. TAFIGEL PUR 54 can be used alone or in combination with other TAFIGEL thickeners, as well as with further technology thickeners.TAFIGEL PUR 54 is recommended for use in following systems: Interior and exterior paints, latex paints, anti-corrosive paints, emulsion plasters, adhesives, putties and printing inks. TAFIGEL PUR 54 is suitable for indirect food contact applications.

A workhorse and cost-effective oil-based defoamer for adhesive applications. AGITAN 5018 provides excellent compatibility, dispersibility and long term performance in a wide variety of adhesive and coatings formulations.

A highly effective all purpose defoamer for printing ink formulations, such as corrugated, film & foil, and screen ink formulations. Also provides excellent initial foam knockdown when used as a press-side defoamer.

TAFIGEL PUR 82 is designed as an “associative thickener” which builds up and stabilizes viscosity by forming a network between polyurethane, binder molecules and other paint ingredients. TAFIGEL PUR 82 can be used alone or in combination with other TAFIGEL thickeners, as well as with further thickener technologies. Aqueous gloss paints, thickened with TAFIGEL PUR 82 show minimal pseudoplasticity, similar to the rheology of solvent borne systems. TAFIGEL PUR 82 is recommended for use in following systems: Interior and exterior paints, latex paints, anticorrosive paints, adhesives, and printing inks. TAFIGEL PUR 82 is suitable for indirect food contact applications.

A high efficiency foam control additive designed especially for OPV and most printing inks, such as corrugated, coated paper, packaging, film and foil.
