Borchi® Gel 0434

HEUR Rheology Modifier for the High Shear Range in Paints and Coatings

Borchi® Gel 0434 is a solvent-free HEUR rheology modifier (Hydrophobically modified Ethoxylated Urethane copolymer rheology modifier) with superior thickening efficiency in the high shear range (ICI viscosity). This solution is specifically designed to give a Newtonian rheology profile. Borchi® Gel 0434 is a non-ionic, polyurethane-based additive for water-based coatings systems. It is glycol ether-, tin-, and VOC-free.  
Other HEUR Thickeners from Borchers
Borchers offers a wide variety of these types of rheology modifiers:   Low Shear Medium Shear High Shear  
Benefits of HEUR Rheology Modifiers for the High Shear Range
Borchi® Gel 0434 promotes excellent flow and leveling properties in paints, inks, and adhesives. This thickener yields spatter resistant coatings with outstanding brush/roller application properties and good physical properties in paint formulations. Borchi® Gel 0434 enhances color acceptance, scrub resistance, and hiding power in coatings.
