Coapur™ 980 W

Arkema Rheology & Specialty Additives

Coapur™ 980 W offers a unique pseudo plastic rheology profile, performing strongly at medium shear rates while contributing significantly at high shear rates. It achieves a low shear viscosity while maintaining a reasonably high value to help optimize both levelling and sag resistance. Coapur™ 980 W is a solvent-, Alky Phenol Ethoxylates (APEO)-, tin-, and heavy metal-free associative polyurethane thickener, opening new perspectives, particularly for low-emission water-based paints that require an attractive in-can appearance, tool load, outstanding coating properties, and color acceptance. Coapur™ 980 W is easy to use and suitable for automatic dosing systems thanks to its low viscosity. Coapur™ 980 W is designed to be used alone or in combination, ideally with high shear viscosity builders such as Coapur™ 2025, when specifically increasing brush drag, film build, or spatter resistance is required.
