OPTIGEL WH is produced from natural, colloidal aluminum silicate by a unique process. The high purity and consistent viscosity of OPTIGEL WH are made possible by our selective mining and rigid process control from the crude ore to the finished product. OPTIGEL WH is thixotropic in nature. It is most beneficial when it is used in combination with other rheological additives to produce the desired rheological properties in a paint system. Suitable co-thickeners include cellulosics, alkali swellables, and urethane thickeners

RHEOBYK-7420 CA is a liquid rheology additive to produce thixotropic flow behavior in aqueous and highly polar systems for improving anti-sagging and anti-settling properties.

CLAYTONE-VZ is a powdered rheology additive based on an organophilic phyllosilicate, engineered to impart thixotropic flow behavior in polar to medium-polarity systems. It enhances anti-sagging properties and improves leveling in coatings, printing inks, and adhesives.

BYK-7420 ES is a liquid rheology additive designed to induce thixotropic flow in aqueous and highly polar systems, enhancing anti-sagging and anti-settling properties. With excellent shear-thinning and easy handling, it is ideal for aqueous pigment, filler, and matting agent concentrates in the coatings industry.
