THIXATROL® AS 8053 Rheological Additive
THIXATROL® AS 8053 is a 100% active organic rheological additive. It is made of special organic acid and amine via amidation process and result in special crystalline structure. The final product is milled by specially micronized process to obtain finely divided powder form. THIXATROL® AS 8053 provides high viscosity, thixotropy and thick layer sag control in high build systems that contain little solvent or are solvent-free. It is suitable for corrosion protective coatings, industrial coatings, adhesives and sealants. This new generation rheological additive makes activation and operation easier. It can be activated at lower shear and room temperature condition to perform better initial sag control. The stability of performance after heating storage is also increased. THIXATROL® AS 8053 can be quickly activated without heating making sealant and paint manufacturing faster, easier and less expensive. Kids Footwear Online

BYK-7410ET, BYK-7420ES, BYK-7411ES - New Liquid and CMR-Free Rheology Additives
As the labeling situation for N-ethylpyrrolidone (NEP) has changed, and as NEP is included as a solvent in BYK-E 410, BYK-E411 and BYK-E420, it is necessary to adapt the labeling for these BYK rheology additives by December 31, 2014. BYK has developed alternatives based on carriers which are not labeled as CMR, amide esters (ES) and amide ethers (ET). Just like BYK-E410, BYK-E411 and BYK-E420, the new rheology additives cover the whole polarity range from high polarity to low polarity. They control the thixotropic flow control properties, have an outstanding shear-thinning effect, and show a time-dependent structure recovery. BYK-7410ET, BYK-7411ES and BYK-7420ES improve anti-sagging properties and storage stability. Furthermore the rheology additives show a perfect substrate wetting and leveling. Kids Clothes
