Product overview
Gloss emulsion paints require the use of thickening agents which give
various properties such as water retention and rheological properties (film
build, Brush-ability and levelling of the film). Usual thickeners in emulsion
paints provide poor rheological properties, giving a bad film build and
levelling or a poor compatibility with the various paint components, and a
decrease of the gloss level due to the formation of a haze after drying. BR
100 P has been especially designed to solve these problems. It is suitable
for the thickening of anionic and non-ionic emulsions and particularly with
styrene-acrylics, vinyl-acrylics and other copolymers. Beside gloss emulsion
paints, the main applications for BR 100 P are in semi-gloss, interior and
exterior flat emulsion paints, in anti-corrosive paints, in adhesives.

Product overview
Coadis™ 144 A is a universal pigment dispersant which provides
outstanding performance accross a broad spectrum of waterborne
exterior and interior coating formulations. It exhibits excellent stability and
compatibility and is designed to enable maximized gloss potential while
providing ideal viscosity, flow and wet adhesion from flat to high gloss
systems.

3) COAPUR™ 2025
HEUR Polyurethane Thickener
Solvent free liquid polyurethane thickener
Main product information
• Solid Content (%)

• Appearance
Viscous whitish liquid
• Active Content (%)
25
• pH
7
• Solvent
Water
Product overview
Coapur™ 2025 is a solvent and Alkyl Phenol Ethoxylate (APEO) free
associative polyrethane thickener designed for water based formulations.
Coapur™ 2025 can be used sole or in combination either with other
polyrethane thickeners or with any type of rheology modifiers such as
acrylic or cellulosic thickeners, acting at low shear rates. Coapur™ 2025 is a
pure associative thickener. It is designed to interact strongly with the
blinder of the formulation, in order to control the rheology at high shear
rates. Coapur™ 2025 helps to match the highest coating quality possible
for water-based formulations

4) ECODIS™ P 90
Ionic Homopolymer dispersant
Dispersing agent for water-based systems
Main product information
• Solid Content (%)
40
• Appearance
Green liquid
• pH
7
• Solvent
Water
 • Neutralization type
Ammonium

Product overview
Dispersion paints are usually formulated with extenders. The dispersion of
these extenders in water based systems must be achieved easily with
common stirrers, without forming agglomerates or causing a viscosity
build up. The usual inorganic dispersants do not solve this problem
satisfactorly.Ecodis™ P 90 has been especially developed to overcome
these problems. It ensures the complete dispersion of the extenders and
the inorganic pigments at high solids contents and in systems with high
P.V.C. Besides dispersion paints, the main applications for Ecodis™ P 90
are in adhesives and wall paper pastes.

5) RHEOTECH™ 146

• pH
3
• Solvent
Water
Product overview
Rheotech™ 146 is a non associative thickener designed for use in
adhesives, paints, sealants & mastics.

6) THIXOL™ 53 L
ASE Acrylic Thickener
Acrylic Thickener and anti-settling & anti-sagging agent
Main product information
• Solid Content (%)

• Solvent
Water
Product overview
Thixol™ 53 L is a liquid acrylic self-associative thickener providing a strong
pseudoplastic rheological profile to water-based systems. This product
significantly prevents from settling and sagging without affecting levelling
properties.

7) VISCOATEX™ 330
ASE Acrylic Thickener
Acrylic thickener for water-based systems
Main product information
• Solid Content (%)

Low viscous white milky liquid
• Active Content (%)
30
• pH
3
• Solvent
Water
Product overview
Viscoatex™ 330 is a synthetic alkali swellable liquid, solvent free thickener
for water-borne systems, effective to increase low shear viscosities as well
as yield values. Its use in textured coatings stops sagging and gives a good
body to the coating without decreasing brushability. In adhesives,
particularly on vertical surfaces, it provides excellent resistance to
movement immediately after application.

BR 125 NPF is a polyurethane associative rheology modifier which gives
formulations a unique Newtonian rheological profile characterised by a
low viscosity at low shear rate and a high viscosity at high shear rate.The
main applications for BR 125 NPF are gloss emulsion paints, semi-gloss, flat
dispersion paints. Formulation of anticorrosive paints or adhesives can also
be based on BR 125 NPF.
