ADDITOL® VXW 6360

ADDITOL® VXW 6360 is a polyurethane thickener designed for air-drying, aqueous coating systems. Here's a breakdown based on the provided technical datasheet:

Type: Polyurethane thickener for air-drying, aqueous coating systems

Form of Delivery (f.o.d.):

• Active substance: approx. 30%

Product Data:

• Dynamic Viscosity: 1000 - 15000 mPa.s (25 1/s; 23°C)
• Non-Volatile Matter: 29 - 31% (120°C; 10 min)
• Colour/Appearance: Whitish

Special Properties:

• ADDITOL VXW 6360 is a polyether polyurethane thickener partly dissolved in deionized water and butyl diglycol.
• It offers diverse application possibilities.

Suggested Uses:

• Suitable for radiation curing systems.
• Used for thickening and modification of flow properties of waterborne paints, including gloss paints, dispersion paints, and anti-corrosive paints.
• Enables formulation of paints with improved rheological properties, resulting in enhanced flow, leveling, film-build, and brushability.
• Combining ADDITOL VXW 6360 with ADDITOL VXW 6388 allows adjustment of rheology based on specific demands.

Processing:

• Quantity to be added: 0.1 - 3.0% on paint formulation.
• Can be added directly to the mill-base batch or after pigment dispersion.
• Optimum gloss is achieved by incorporating ADDITOL VXW 6360 after pigment dispersion.
• It can be added undiluted, but pre-dilution with deionized water may be advantageous in some cases.

Storage:

• Storage stability packed in original containers at temperatures up to 25°C amounts to at least 365 days.
• Synthetic additives containing water may freeze or become inhomogeneous at temperatures below 0°C. If this occurs, extended heat treatment at 40 - 50°C with continuous stirring is recommended for regeneration.
• Frostproof storage is recommended for products susceptible to freezing.

ADDITOL® VXW 6360 offers paint formulators a versatile solution for achieving desired rheological properties in waterborne coatings, enhancing application performance and coating quality.
