Abstract:
Obtaining the correct low shear viscosity in waterborne coatings is critical for optimized coating performance. When selecting a rheology package, choosing the appropriate low shear thickener can prevent sedimentation of dense pigments and syneresis of the coatings during storage. During application, low shear thickeners improve sag resistance and impact the leveling to allow robust film builds. In this webinar, Borchers will introduce two unique low shear rheological modifier technologies: Borchi Gel PN & NA. These zirconium complex thickeners provide strong low shear viscosity and prevent syneresis where other thickener chemistries cannot. These easy-to-use, post-addition products allow for easier incorporation and formulation flexibility. This presentation will share results demonstrating the value that can be attained when utilizing Borchi Gel PN & NA.
