Rheotech™ 3500

Rheotech™ 3500 is highly recommendable for the rheology adjustment of semi-gloss and matt dispersion paints. It provides an improved rheological behaviour to semi-gloss and matt dispersion paints. Thanks to its associative character, It is also highly effective at medium and high shear rates. In particular, it is the ideal tool in order tomatch a given Stormer viscosity (medium shear viscosity). Therefore, compared to cellulosic ethers, it provides both better in-can appearance and coating properties: the better control of the medium shear viscosity allows to reinforce the in-can consistency, thus the perceived quality of the paint. It can be used in combination with other thickeners, either those effective at low shear rates (e.g cellulosic ethers and acrylic thickeners such as Viscoatex™ 730 or Thixol™ 53 L), or those providing a Newtonian rheology (e.g polyurethane thickeners such as Coapur™ 3025).

Ecodis™ 40

Ecodis™ 40 is a sodium neutralized polyacrylate dispersing agent for water-based systems. It ensures the complete dispersion of extenders and inorganic pigments at high solids contents in systems showing medium to high PVC (Pigment Volume Concentration). Very versatile and suitable for titanium dixide, Kaolin and calcium cabonates. Besides dispersion paints, the main applications are in adhesives & sealants.

Ecodis™ 80

Ecodis™ 80 is an ammonium neutralized polyacrylate dispersing agent for water-based systems. It ensures the complete dispersion of extenders and inorganic pigments at high solids contents in systems showing medium to high PVC (Pigment Volume Concentration). Very versatile and suitable for titanium dixide, Kaolin and calcium cabonates. Besides dispersion paints, the main applications for Ecodis™ 80 are in adhesives and wall paper pastes.

Ecodis™ C 30

Ecodis™ C 30 has been especially developed as a lighter-colored version of Ecodis™ P 30 with limited color evolution upon storage. It ensures the complete dispersion of extenders and inorganic pigments at high solids contents in systems showing medium to high PVC.

Ecodis™ N

Ecodis™ N is a cost effective dispersant recommended for use in matt dispersion paints. It contributes to shorten the time needed for a proper incorporation of usual fillers and pigments (calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide) even when a high concentration in solids is required. Ecodis™ N also helps to ensure long term viscosity stability to dispersion paints showing a high solids content and/or a high PVC (pigment volumic concentration).
