Coapur™ XS 12

Arkema Rheology & Specialty Additives

Coapur™ XS 12 is a solvent and Alkyl Phenol Ethoxylate (APE) free associative polyurethane thickener designed for water-based formulations. Coapur™ XS 12 can be used alone or in combination with other polyurethane thickeners or with any type of rheology modifiers, such as acrylic or cellulosic thickeners, acting at low shear rates. Coapur™ XS 12 is a pure associative thickener. It is designed to interact with the binder of the formulation, in order to control the rheology selectively at high shear rates with the least impact at low and medium shear rates. Coapur™ XS 12 helps achieve the highest coating quality possible for water-based formulations by optimizing flow and leveling.
