Under paste form for post-addition to solvent-based low polarity coating systems, it provides a shear-thinning rheology with thixotropic viscosity recovery to coating formulations. In coating systems, its crystalline fibres form an interacting network which gives rise to the shear-thinning rheology of the final coating. It provides a very high viscosity under the low shear rates associated with sedimentation, and a low viscosity at the much higher application shear rates. The net result is excellent control of sedimentation combined with ease of application. Immediately following application, the coating’s viscosity undergoes a time dependent recovery as the network re-establishes itself. This time dependence is known as thixotropy and enables the final coating to attain very good levelling. view less | Request Sample |

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.
