INTRODUCTION

Rheological additives are essential components in paint formulations used to control the flow and viscosity of the paint. Modified rheological additives are advanced formulations of traditional rheological additives. They are designed to offer improved performance, versatility, or specific functional properties in applications like paints, coatings etc.

These additives help achieve desirable texture, stability, and application properties by influencing the fluid’s structure and behavior under different conditions
OnADD® – PLCW is a high viscosity, economical, organically modified Rheological additive for water-based system. It provides viscosity built up, good pigment suspension, excellent sag control and very good bio stability. It increases the water scrub resistance of the coating film.

APPLICATIONS

Provide better leveling, sag resistance, and color consistency in following applications

Paints and Coatings
Textured coatings
Synthetic plaster (putty)
Acrylic & oil bound distemper

ADVANTAGES

Viscosity Control
Rheological additives adjust the thickness of a fluid to ensure it has the right flow characteristics for application (e.g., brushing, spraying).
Thixotropy (Anti-Sagging)
Rheological additives provides thixotropy to the paint system . This thixotropic behavior is key in water-based paints, where the viscosity decreases during application (under shear) and recovers when at rest. This prevents the paint from sagging or running after application, leading to even coverage and sharp edges in the painted surface.
Application Properties
They enhance the ease of application, prevent sagging in vertical applications, and improve leveling and surface finish.
Anti-Splattering
In paints and coatings, rheological additives help reduce splattering during roller or brush application.
Enhanced Storage Stability
Water-based paints can suffer from phase separation or settling during storage. Rheological additives help maintain long-term stability by preventing the separation of components like water, pigments, and binders, ensuring the paint remains ready for use without extensive mixing.

These applications highlight the versatility and critical role of modified Rheological additives in enhancing the performance, stability, and user experience of water-based paints.

INCORPORATION

In Situ:
Add to the water rich phase as early in the manufacturing process as possible. Anionic surfactant can
enhances the thickening effect when used with OnADD® – PLCW
