Borchi® Gel LW 44

Borchi® Gel LW 44 is a non-ionic, polyurethane-based thickener glycol ether-free, VOC-free according to the European Directives 1999/13/EC and 2004/42/EG. It is manufactured using aliphatic isocyanates; it has thus no negative influence on yellowing and chalking of coating film. Even small amounts of Borchi® Gel LW 44 bring about significant thickening of the aqueous phase. The resulting liquid is pseudoplastic, i.e. its viscosity is inversely proportional to its shear rate. Borchi® Gel LW 44 is therefore particularly suitable for low-viscosity applications such as spraying and dip-coating of waterborne and water-emulsifiable paint systems (finishing paints and primers), aqueous two-component polyurethane-based systems and two-component epoxy systems and polyester systems. lt can also be used for copolymer dispersions depending on the requirements profile. Particularly advantageous in this context is its effect on viscosity under low-shear conditions.
