Thixol™ 50 S is a liquid acrylic self-associative thickener designed to provide a thixotropic rheological profile to water-based systems, particularly in preventing settling and sagging while maintaining leveling properties. Here are its characteristics and properties:
Nature: Aqueous dispersion of an acrylic copolymer
Appearance: Low viscous white milky liquid
Solid Content (%): 30
Active Content (%): 30
pH: 3
Specific gravity: 1.06
Solvent: Water
Description:
Thixol™ 50 S functions as a pure self-associative acrylic thickener, thickening with a pH preferably adjusted between 8 and 9. It transitions from its natural acid delivery form to a neutralized and water-soluble form. The thickening efficiency is achieved through hydrophobic interactions, influencing viscosity at very low shear rates to prevent settling and sagging. It offers a thixotropic effect, balancing leveling and sag resistance. Thixol™ 50 S is easy to incorporate at any step of paint manufacture, especially at the final step.
