Thixatrol ST

THIXATROL ST rheological additive is a modified derivative of castor oil for use in aliphatic and aromatic solvent-borne coatings. It also imparts flow and levelling control to powder coatings. KEY PROPERTIES - THIXATROL ST rheological additive: increases viscosity and provides thixotropy; contributes to pigment suspension; provides sag control without sacrifice of flow and leveling; controls penetration into porous substrates; does not normally react with system components; has no influence on water-resistance of organic systems; will not adversely affect paint durability; is non-yellowing (in the final formulation); imparts excellent package stability and reproducibility; improves flow and levelling of powder coatings.
