THIXATROL^® P236 AF

THIXATROL ^® P236 AF is a special polyamide wax dispersion activated in aromatic-free solvent, which provides viscosity build and control, imparts thixotropy, improves sag resistance and prevents settling of pigments and fillers in solvent-based coatings.

Key properties

• Supplied in aromatic-free carrier.
• No need of further temperature activation (supplied pre-activated).
• Easy to incorporate and disperse in comparison to powder form grades or other conventional pastes – a high speed disperser is adequate for the incorporation of this additive and development of its full rheological properties.
• Imparts strong shear thinning, thixotropic properties and anti-sagging effect, especially in high film-build coatings.
• Positive impact in the suspension and anti-settling properties in formulations containing heavy pigments and fillers such as micaceous iron oxides, barium sulphate, zinc dust and anti-corrosive pigments.
• No negative impact in the final film aesthetics.
• Broad binder systems and solvents compatibility.
