DELTA S® PN

Blend of carboxylic acid derivatives. Is a liquid rheology control additive with a unique thixotropic profile. Builds its thixotropic structure through interaction of its molecules with the reactive groups distributed over the polymer of the latex emulsion or thickener. Interaction occurs through hydrogen and covalent bonding with active sites of the polymer, thus creating a network of structure. Develops an anti-settling property. Prevents pigment separation in formulations containing more than one type of pigment. The network structure almost completely breaks enabling good flow and leveling of the coating upon shear and during coating application. The network structure rebuilds again preventing sagging of the coating after shear removal. Is capable of cross-linking in the final dry film and helps in increasing scrub resistance. Compatible with acrylic, styrene acrylic and vinyl acetate polymer systems. Also compatible with all well-known cellulose, acrylic and polyurethane thickener types. Can be used in matt, semi-gloss and high-gloss exterior and interior coating systems.
