Coapur™ 980 W is a revolutionary associative polyurethane thickener renowned for its unique pseudo-plastic rheology profile. Excelling at medium shear rates while significantly contributing to high shear rates, it achieves a balanced viscosity profile, enhancing both leveling and sag resistance. Free from solvents, Alkyl Phenol Ethoxylates (APEO), tin, and heavy metals, Coapur™ 980 W is ideal for low-emission water-based paints, ensuring appealing in-can appearance, reduced tool load, and exceptional coatings properties. Its low viscosity facilitates easy use and compatibility with automatic dosing systems. For enhanced brush drag, film build, or spatter resistance, it can be used alone or in combination with high shear viscosity builders like Coapur™ 2025.

RHODOPOL®EXTRA 2 CLEAR is a xanthan gum offering versatile application as a cold-soluble gum, synergistic with guar and locust bean gum. Its potential benefits include acting as a suspending agent for solids and oil droplets, effective emulsion and foam stabilization, high viscosity with shear-thinning behavior, anti-syneresis effect, stability in both acidic and alkaline solutions, temperature resistance, and compatibility with solutions containing high salt concentrations.
