Troythix® A

Troythix® A is a chemically-modified castor oil ester by Troy Corporation. It is activated by temperature and shear energy. Used as a rheology control agent in solvent-based paints and lacquers. It imparts a highly thixotropic viscosity in non-aqueous systems, improving resistance to sag & settling, improving application properties, and reducing substrate penetration. Troythix® A offers compatibility with air-drying alkyd and acrylic, 2-component epoxy and polyurethane, epoxy ester, oil modified polyurethane, unsaturated polyester, and lacquers based on nitro-cellulose, butyrates, vinyl and chlorinated rubber. Use level of this grade is 0.20-0.70%.
