Borchi® Gel PN

Low shear thickener for water-based coatings systems, VOC-, APEO- and tin-free

Clear, colorless to • Thixotropic additive for use in water-based coatings
Appearance
slight yellowish liquid systems whose binders or additives contain free
Non-volatile content NA hydroxyl and carboxyl groups
pH 9 • Develops viscosity in the low shear range
1.23 g/cm3 DIN 51757 • Improves viscosity stability of a coating after tinting with
Density Universal Colorants
(20 °C)
Viscosity NA • Once applied the structure rebuilds slowly for improved
Solvent(s) Water flow and leveling while retaining good sag resistance
• VOC-free
• APEO-free
• Tin-free
Applications
• Wide range of polymer systems
o Vinyl acetate
o Acrylic
o Styrene acrylic
o Colloid
o Surfactant stabilized polymers
• Coatings

o Exterior

Dosage
• 0.5 – 2.0% on total paint formulation

The degree of thixotropy will depend on the type of reactive groups present in the system, the pH of the coating (ideally between
7.5 and 8.5), the level of the desired gel structure and the amount of Borchi® Gel PN used. The exact dosage should be
experimentally determined. Borchi® Gel PN can be added to the mill-base or as a post add provided good mixing conditions are
used.
