Metal Organic Gellants for Coatings and Inks

Borchi® Gel PN by Borchers (Milliken) is a VOC-, tin-, emulsifier- and APEO-free thixotropic thickener. It develops viscosity in the low shear range to prevent settling and separation and improves the viscosity stability of a coating after tinting with universal colorants.

• It is used in water-based coating systems whose binders contain free hydroxyl and carboxyl groups.
• It does not need biocides.
• When Borchi® Gel PN is applied, the structure rebuilds slowly for improved flow and leveling while retaining good sag resistance.
• It is used in vinyl acetate, acrylic, styrene acrylic, colloid and surfactant stabilized polymers.
• It is also suitable for the interior- and exterior coatings.
• The recommended usage level is 0.5-2.0 % on total paint formulation.

Borchi® Gel NA by Borchers (Milliken) is a VOC-, emulsifier-, APEO- & tin-free rheology modifier and low shear thickener. It is used in water-based coating systems whose binders contain free hydroxyl and carboxyl groups. It develops viscosity in the low shear range to prevent settling & separation and improves the viscosity stability of a coating after tinting with universal colorants.

• It does not contain any odor.
• It shows thixotropic and shear thinning properties in behavior.
• Borchi® Gel NA is used in interior and exterior coatings.
• The typical usage level is 0.5-2.0% as supplied based on the total weight of the formula.

TYTAN™ CX200 by Borica acts as a rheological modifier. It is an alkanolamine titanate grade with high-level structure development. It provides enhanced shear resistance and more easily controllable processing.

• It offers colloid-stabilized gloss, matt, and silk finishes.
• It requires no additional reformulation cost.
• It exhibits improved flow properties along with reduced sagging/spattering.
• TYTAN™ CX200 is suitable for water-based decorative paints.

TYTAN™ ZPN by Borica is an ammonia zirconium lactate-based low-VOC rheological modifier. It is an economic grade that imparts a surfactant-stabilized gloss, silk, and matt appearance. It offers improved flow properties and reduced sagging/spattering. TYTAN™ ZPN is used in waterborne decorative paints.

TYTAN™ CX100 by Borica is an alkanolamine titanate-based rheological modifier. It exhibits rapid structuring and offers a broad binder system compatibility. It involves zero reformulation cost. It offers improved flow properties and reduced sagging/spattering. It provides colloid‑stabilized gloss, silk, and matt finishes. TYTAN™ CX100 is used in water-based decorative paints.

TYTAN™ CX300 by Borica is an alkanolamine titanate-based rheological modifier. It exhibits delayed structuring, improved flow properties, and reduced sagging/spattering. It lowers production costs through very simplified processing. It offers colloid‑stabilized gloss, silk, and matt finishes. TYTAN™ CX300 is used in water-based decorative paints.

TYTAN™ CX400 by Borica is a low-volatile organic content, alkanolamine titanate-based rheological modifier. It offers delayed structuring along with a reduction of production costs through very easy processing. It exhibits colloid‑stabilized gloss, silk, and matt finish. TYTAN™ CX400 is suitable for waterborne decorative paints.

Metal sulfonate rheology control agent. Improves the thermal sag resistance. Is effective in reducing pigent settling. Used in high gloss coatings.

Mixture of fatty acids, ethylene glycol and monobutyl ether. It facilitates the gellation of aliphatic solvents at room temperature with aluminium. It decreases the viscosity. Used in news print inks to provide hold out. The total usage is 1-3% of the total weight. It complies with following regulations: OSHA regulations, SARA 313 and CERCLA.

Tyzor® TA-300 by Dorf Ketal is used as a dispersion paint additive and thixotropic agent in dispersion and industrial paints. Colorless to yellowish, flammable, titanium glycol alkanolamine complex.
