Products in Additives: Rheology Modifier

DISPARLON® 4200-20 is an oxidized polyolefin based thixotropic agent designed to prevent pigment settling and hard caking, with little effect on viscosity. It works synergistically with other rheological additives.

Vycel U-3000 is a low viscosity diluent, low odor and water-white extender.

Jaylink Additives® JL-106E polymerizable cellulosic is an acrylamidomethyl—substituted cellulose ester polymer. Due to its high degree of acrylamide substitution, formulations using JL-106E cure very rapidly in response to UV/EB. Resulting films have excellent abrasion, chemical, and impact resistance. The hydrophobic and hydrophilic segments of 106E make it an excellent compatibilizer for materials of differing polarity. JL-106E is used for its thixotropic characteristics, which are particularly useful in improving UV ink holdout on porous substrates, without sacrificing cured properties. This material is INCI listed for use in the cosmetic industry

The LithoFill product series is based on a very pure, natural clinoptilolite zeolite, which is characterized by a very high porosity and cation exchange capacity. Because of their high clinoptilolite content, these products act as functional additives with specific properties in various industrial applications. Due to the high cation exchange capacity of LithoFill, the product is able to bind and neutralize large quantities of molecules – this captures unwanted odors and liquids or releases specific flavours.

EBECRYL® 7100, crafted by CASE Ingredients, is a radiation-curable coating characterized by its bisphenol A-free composition and a low carbon footprint (PCF), ensuring it remains solvent-free and VOC-free. Tailored for the automotive and transportation paints and coatings, as well as the printing and packaging markets, this clear liquid finds its application in automotive OEM coatings, wood finishes, industrial coatings, and specialized printing inks like flexography and inkjet. Compatible with substrates such as paper, plastics, and wood, it can be applied using methods like curtain coating, dip coating, gravure coating, roller, and slot-die.

AL FS-900 is hydrophilic fumed silica surface treated with dimethyldichlorosilane (DMDS) to make it hydrophobic. Fumed silica’s unique manufacturing process produces a very high purity type of silica with nano size primary particles, a fluffy white powder that is an amorphous and colloidal form of silica. These characteristics impart a wide range of benefits to formulations from thickening and reinforcement to free flow and anti-settling. In addition the treatment imparts added water repellency, corrosion resistance, as well as thickening of complex liquid systems.

DISPARLON® AQH-810 is a rheology control agent composed of a hybrid compound of a polyamide and an amide wax for waterborne systems. Can be post-added to prevent sagging and pigment settling with slight viscosity increase.

Strahl & Pitsch' LLC is the leading global refiner of Beeswax, producing White and Yellow Grades of Beeswax, certified to the current USP/NF Monograph, Food Chemicals Codex, and other compendium.

Mosselman Linseed Stand Oil 6 P (67746-08-1) is a heat bodied alkali refined linseed oil with a light color, minimum subsequent yellowing, excellent pigment wetting and dis- persing properties and good drying.

Candelilla is a unique natural wax with properties not exhibited by other waxes. With a natural resin content it provides excellent film forming capabilities, provides flex and gloss to stick formulations and promotes reliable gelling capabilities.

DISPARLON® 6900-20X is a thixotropic agent in paste form consisting of a dispersion of swollen particles of a unique synthetic amide wax. It is easily incorporated into many vehicles and/or solvents and develops an exceptionally strong and long retained thixotropic structure.

Teckrez® HM-1000 is a Styrenated Hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin used where water-white color, excellent heat stability, narrow molecular weight distribution and a degree of polarity are beneficial. HM-1000 enables formulation of premium EVA and mPE-based hot melt adhesives providing better specific adhesion when compared to standard hydrogenated hydrocarbon resins. Other applications include hot melt PSA's, premium aerosol adhesives, elastomeric sealants, wax compounding, medical adhesives, and others.

AMSil™ 358 is a hydrophobic silica, fumed and precipitated silicas are used in a wide range of applications

ADDITOL® VXW 4934 is a versatile additive designed for water-dilutable paints, serving multiple purposes. Its primary functions include preventing pigment settling, improving edge crawling during dipping application, and increasing the sagging limit when applied by spray. With its roles as a rheology modifier and thickener, this additive enhances the overall performance of waterborne coatings. Notably, ADDITOL® VXW 4934 is labeled as APEO-free and VOC-free, aligning with eco-friendly formulations. It finds application in marine coatings, where it can be effectively used through dip coating or spray methods.

PUREti™ TX 300 is a titanium chelate developed as a rheology modifier for use in water-based emulsion paints. PUREti TX 300 reacts with colloid stabilized binders to impart a thixotropic structure. This product has been designed to give delayed structuring when added to the paint. This facilitates canning-off the paint and improves the uniformity of structure achieved from batch to batch of paint.

FMSIL® R 202 is a PDMS treated hydrophobic fumed silica, which provides excellent thickening properties in paint formulations.

FMSIL® R 812 is HDMS treated hydrophobic fumed silica, which acts as a rheology control additive in paint formulations.

DISPARLON® 6100 is a powdered thixotropic agent based on amide wax. Lowest activation temperature required to build a strong thixotropic network which prevents slumping of sealants and adhesives. Especially suited for MMA/MS polymer sealants.

Bentonite is a multi-use clay generated from volcanic ash. They are considered predominantly in the smectite mineral family. This volcanic clay was formed millions of years ago when mineral sea deposits came in contact with the Earth’s surface at incredibly high temperatures. The result created a magnetic charge, hence the alternative name “living clay.”
