GARAMITE® -2578 by BYK is a unique rheological additive developed for high solids and baking enamels. It is also suitable for use in high solids and thin film solvent based and 100% solids systems. Compared to fumed silica, it provides improved sag resistance, rheology control and stability. It is also more efficient and easier to handle in manufacturing (less dusty, higher bulk density and not sensitive to shear. Provide higher sag resistance, thermal slump resistance and settling resistance than thixotropes such as fumed silica, organoclays, hydrogenated castors and polyamide waxes. GARAMITE® -2578 exhibits dispersion ease, improved thermal slump resistance, shear stable, syneresis prevention and increased efficiency.
