<Thickening Agents for Water-Based Paints> In recent years, paints for construction and other applications have been transitioning from solvent-based to water-based systems due to environmental issues (such as VOC problems). The formulations have also become more complex, and thickening agents used in water-based paints include cellulose-based thickening agents, associative thickening agents, and inorganic types, depending on the characteristics and performance of the paint. <Proposal from MP Gokyo Food & Chemical> We would like to introduce our product, 'Xanthan Gum', as an additive for water-based paints. Xanthan gum is a natural thickening agent with high safety, possessing pseudoplastic properties, and is a natural fermented polysaccharide. This document includes comparative data from our technical department on other thickening agents (basic performance and when added to clear paint). 【Representative Products】 ■ 'Monart Gum DA and HP' ■ 'Labore Gum GS-C' 【Expectations for Water-Based Paints】 ■ Generates sufficient viscosity even at low addition levels ■ Good paint flow at low shear ■ Prevents sagging after application ■ No viscosity changes in paint due to temperature variations in winter or summer 【This document provides comparative evaluations for clear paints】 ■: Viscosity, sag resistance, film haze ■ Temperature dependence of clear viscosity *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
