Delayed Thickeners

Colourful buckets of paint with paint brush

Product Overview

TYTAN™ CX additives are used in decorative paints as pseudoplastic rheology modifiers. Their thickening mechanism is based on hydrogen bonding. They have a very noticeable shear-thinning behaviour with a high viscosity build at low shear. This gives a desirable in-can appearance with a premium look to it. These thickeners give a characteristic delayed rheology build that allows ease of pumping from the mixer, followed by in-can thickening.

Low and Zero VOC options allow the formulation of environmentally friendly paints.

An introduction to rheological additives for coatings

Rheology – from the Greek rheos - is the study of flow and is used to describe the deformation of a material under stress. The effects of rheology can be seen everywhere; compare oil, honey, and bitumen, all are liquids yet each flows very differently. Controlling rheology is crucial for the paint formulator to not only provide enhanced application properties but also to provide long term stability. In this technical article, we will discuss the fundamental principles of rheology, how this relates to coatings, and will take a closer look at materials that can be used to modify flow behaviour.
