Coapur™ XS 71 is a solvent-free polyurethane thickener designed for water-based systems, offering high in-can viscosities with excellent pigment compatibility. It provides a unique pseudoplastic rheology profile, performing effectively at both medium and high shear rates. Coapur™ XS 71 ensures a smooth texture, easy application without spatter, and optimal color development when using pigment pastes, even with challenging binders. It also minimizes viscosity drop after pigment addition, prevents pigment flooding and floating during storage, and delivers excellent results in rub-out tests.

THIXOL™ 53 L is an acrylic self-associative thickener. Provides good sprayability and strong pseudoplastic rheological profile to water-based systems. Prevents settling and sagging without affecting levelling properties. It can be incorporated at each step of paint manufacture and especially at the final step. It is solvent free and can therefore be used in VOC-free formulations. The relatively low speed viscosity recovering of THIXOL™ 53 L after coating provides a real thixotropic effect and improves the compromise between levelling and sagging: a better levelling will be reached without sagging. Recommended dosage level ranges between 0.1-1% of dry product on total formulation, which in most cases is below 0.5%.
