Borchi^® Gel PW 25

• Exceptionally good thickening properties in most fine particle dispersion binders with low emulsifier content
• Very high water-retention capacity which promotes longer wet edge times than normal
• Added at low levels so water and scrub resistance of the cured surface will not be adversely affected
• Will not cause yellowing or chalking in cured film

• Coatings
  • General Industrial
  • Decorative

• 0.1 – 2.0% on total formulation

The exact dosage must be experimentally determined. In most applications, Borchi^® Gel PW 25 must be pre-diluted with water first at a ratio of 1:4. This solution can then be added at any stage of the production including as a viscosity adjustment. Borchi^® Gel PW 25 can only be used in its supplied form if there is sufficient water at a temperature of 50 – 60°C available for the dispersion; however, the binder must be added last. WARNING: Borchi^® Gel PW 25 must not be added to the dispersion binder or the finished emulsion paint in its supplied form. It is highly active and immediate irreversible coagulation of the binder will occur. Borchi^® Gel PW 25 must be pre-diluted before adding to the coating in these situations.

Protect from the effects of weathering and store at temperatures between 5 and 30 °C. Once opened, containers should be resealed immediately after each removal of the product.
