rheology

  • Tytan CX100 is a chelated Titanium Alkanolamine Complex developed as a rheology modifier for emulsion paints. Tytan CX100 reacts with colloid stabilized binders to impart a thixotropic structure to the paint through shear sensitive hydrogen bonding. Tytan CX100 has no to little effect on the rheology of emulsion paints based on surfactant stabilized binders. Use of Tytan CX100 shall always be based on sample testing to evaluate potential interaction with other components or additives of the paint formulation.
  • A readily biodegradable modified amine oxide used to produce clear, stable, colorless sodium hypochlorite or hydrogen peroxide gels. Soluble in water, alcohol and glycols. Insoluble in most solvents and oils.
  • A complex ethoxylated amine recommended for use as a corrosion inhibitor and/or thickener for acid systems. Solubility at 10% in water: DeTERGE AT-100 self emulsifies in water. It is dispersible in water at concentrations of <10% by weight. It is soluble in most oils, glycols, alcohols, and solvents.
  • Anionic inverse emulsion thickener. Imparts a long stringy flow to a wide variety of aqueous and non-aqueous compositions and is effective over a wide pH range. Low viscosity liquid which gives instantaneous thickening on direct mixing into the composition. The polymer is already in solution (as the sodium salt) and does not require any other additives to promote thickening e.g. alkali, surfactant etc. APEO free.
  • Inverse emulsion thickener designed specifically for pigment printing.
  • An inverse emulsion thickener which imparts a short flow to a wide variety of aqueous and non-aqueous compositions and is effective over a pH range of 1-14. Supplied as an easy to use, low viscosity liquid which gives an instantaneous thickening effect on direct mixing into the composition. The polymer is already in solution (as the sodium salt) and requires no other additives to promote thickening e.g. alkali, surfactant etc.
  • An anionic inverse emulsion thickener which imparts an extremely short flow to a wide variety of aqueous and non-aqueous compositions and is effective over a wide pH range. Supplied as an easy to use, low viscosity liquid which gives an instantaneous thickening effect on direct mixing into the composition. The polymer in is already in solution (as the ammonium salt) and not requiring any other additives to promote thickening e.g. alkali, surfactant etc. APEO free.
  • Inverse emulsion thickener imparting very short flow to a wide variety of aqueous and non-aqueous compositions and is effective over a broad pH range with nearly instantaneous thickening.
  • An inverse emulsion thickener which imparts a short flow to a wide variety of aqueous and non-aqueous compositions and is effective over a wide pH range. Low viscosity liquid which instantaneous thickening effect on direct mixing into a composition. The polymer in is already in solution (as the sodium salt) and requiring no additional additives to promote thickening e.g. alkali, surfactant etc. APEO free.
  • PANGEL W range is formulated to work as thickener and water retention additive in emulsion paints. PANGEL W is a highly efficient thickener based upon organically modified clay manufactured from highly purified sepiolite, that produces high low shear viscosity without impairing the application properties of the formula. Viscosity is not influenced by temperature no pH and together with pseudoplasticity has also a thixotropy. Exhibits water retention properties with increased open time. PANGEL W offers the following properties in water based formulations:
    • Easy to disperse
    • Specially suitable for high solids content formulations
    • Increase productivity
    • Excellent can stability
    • Reduces syneresis
    • Adequate consistency
    • Excellent sag control
    • Avoids sedimentation
    • Good leveling
    PANGEL W is added in the pigment and filler dispersion stage, after the moistening and anti-foam agents and before adding the pigments and fillers. Typical addition levels are 0.1-1% of Pangel W by weight of total formulation.
  • PANGEL OM4 is a rheological additive based upon a highly purified bentonite clay designed for low polarity systems. PANGEL OM4 is recommended for both aliphatic solvents and mineral or synthetic oils. Pangel OM4 requires the use of polar activators.

    Properties PANGEL OM4 is an organobentonite recommended for providing the following properties in oil based systems:

    • Decrease of sedimentation
    • High thickening capacity
    • Does not require polar activator
    • High capacity for thikening inverted emulsions
    • Control of sagging and dripping while improves stability.

    Fields of application

    Use of PANGEL OM4 as a rheological additive is recommended in the following applications:
    • Oil based concentrated formulations
    • Formulations based in inverted emulsions
