WALOCEL™ J75M S hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose was developed for use in tape joint compounds, tile adhesives and other ready-mix dispersion systems. A cold water dispersible cellulose ether, WALOCEL™ J75M S is a high viscosity thickener that has been surface treated to delay solubility, making it easily dispersible in aqueous systems. It develops viscosity as pH is increased, and its distinct molecular structure resists bacterial degradation, helping to increase shelf life of materials formulated with this additive.

Silaplane™ FM-07 series, including Silaplane™ FM-0711 with a Molecular Weight (Mn) of 1000, can react with Acrylic resins to impart the excellent properties of silicone to various organic resins. As a result, Silaplane™ can be used as a raw material for polymers.

COAPUR™ XS 83 is a solvent-free polyurethane thickener recommended for water-based systems which should combine high in-can viscosities with excellent pigment compatibility, for use on tinting machine, manual coloration, industrial and architectural coatings. COAPUR™ XS 83 provides a unique pseudoplastic rheology profile with a strong shear-tinning behavior. Its use ensures a smooth structure and an optimized ease of application by spray, roller or brush. The highly pseudoplastic rheology profile, combined with a fast recovery of the viscosity following the application makes the COAPUR™ XS 83 suitable for industrial and decorative applications requiring high film thicknesses and excellent sag resistance. COAPUR™ XS 83 contributes to improve colour strength and reduce rub-out issues when using pigment pastes, even in presence of problematic binders. The use of COAPUR™ XS 83 also limits viscosity drop after pigment paste addition, pigment flooding and floating during storage.

RHEOTECH™ 3800 is an acrylic associative thickener for water-based systems (also called HASE). It is designed to improve both the rheology and the color acceptance of water-based formulations. Its outstanding effectiveness at medium shear rates allows to control very easily the perceived quality of paints during handling and to facilitate coating by roll or by brush, especially for finishing touches.
