Get to know our RHEOLATE® HX Grades

RHEOLATE® nonionic synthetic associative thickeners

  • The new RHEOLATE® HX series comprises several high-efficient nonionic synthetic associative thickeners with excellent beneficial characteristics.
  • RHEOLATE® HX 6008 has outstanding rheological properties for aqueous applications. It develops high-shear viscosity (ICI) very efficiently and additionally displays some mid-shear viscosity contribution.
  • RHEOLATE® HX 6008 is effective in a broad range of latex chemistries particularly in acrylic and styrene acrylic emulsions.
  • RHEOLATE® HX 6050 is especially efficient in hydrophilic resins such as VAE-latices and in Vina-Veova latices.
  • RHEOLATE® HX 6010 has the most Newtonian rheological profile, has very low contribution to mid-shear (KU) viscosity and offers excellent flow and leveling and other application properties in hydrophobic acrylic and styrene acrylic binders.

Our Recommendation: THIXATROL® PM 8056

Basic principles organic thixotropes

THIXATROL® rheological additives are based on castor oil derivatives, modified castor oil derivatives, polyamide, polyester amides or polyurethane chemistry. They typically must be subjected to appropriate wetting, deagglomeration, dispersion forces and minimum temperature requirements, to reach an activated structure.

THIXATROL® PM 8056 is the newest addition to the Elementis portfolio. The key features of this rheology modifier are high structure build and thixotropy at low loading levels as well as low temperature activation and a wide activation temperature window. This additive contributes to shorter production cycles, energy savings and excellent structural stability upon storage.

Wetting and Dispersing Agents

Pigment dispersions and colour concentrates should have full colour value, broad compatibility and excellent stability, all obtained with maximum production throughput. Have a look at the product range to find the formula that fits your needs!
