Proposing additives for paints and inks (thickeners, rheology agents, surface modifiers)!
-
Additives are necessary according to the application, coating method, and film performance. We propose "thickeners, dispersants, rheology agents, and surface modifiers" for paints and inks!
<Additives for Paints and Inks> In addition to the resins (acrylic, epoxy, urethane, silicone, fluorine) that serve as the main materials for the paint film, additives are required according to solvents (water-based, solvent-based), applications (construction (interior, exterior), plastic, metal), coating methods (spray, roller, brush, inkjet, powder), and film performance (durability, slip properties, anti-blocking, gloss adjustment, etc.). 【Thickeners】 Performance: Appropriate viscosity depending on application ■ Water-based: Hydroxyethyl cellulose, xanthan gum (pseudoplastic), tamarind seed gum (Newtonian fluid) ■ Solvent-based: Ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate butyrate 【Rheology Control Agents】 Performance: Thixotropic, rheological improvement, splash resistance, leveling improvement ■ Water-based and solvent-based: Non-ionic synthetic associative thickeners ■ Water-based: Hydrophobic hydroxyethyl cellulose 【Film Performance】 Performance: Durability (abrasion resistance, scratch resistance), slip properties, anti-blocking, gloss adjustment, texture modification ■ Functional fine powder wax additives ■ Microparticles, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene powder *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
