Organic and Inorganic Paint & Coating Thickeners
Rheology modifying is one of the crucial issue in fluids. Thickeners play an important role in this part. Wide range of thickeners can be used for this purpose, but the most common ones including cellulosic, ASE and HASE, fumed silica, HEUR (polyurethane thickeners). Different industries like Paints and Coatings, Ink, etc. can take advantage of these products.
Thickeners are known as rheology modifiers which are able to increase viscosity. furthermore, they can provide with different features like water retention, increasing open –time, scrub resistance, anti-sagging, etc.
Most common thickeners in paints and coatings, resins and water-based adhesives:
The growth of the paint industry and its allied paint and coatings industry can be attributed to the ever-rising demand for paint and coating thickeners from the construction and the building sector. The rapidly growing construction sector in the Asia Pacific has created a conducive environment for the growth of the paint and coating thickener industry. The rise in government and private spending on essential public infrastructure has spurred the demand for paint and coating thickeners. Aside from the construction industry, the robustly growing printing and packaging and labeling industries also have fostered the growth of the paint and coating industry in the forecast. The rise in production output, an increase in consumer buying power, and burgeoning disposable incomes across the globe have caused a spurt in demand for FMCG products and bolstered the packaging and labeling. The robust growth witnessed by the packaging and labeling industry has further fueled the demand for paint and coating thickeners used in packaging and labeling applications.

- Acrylate thickeners (ASE and HASE)
- Polyurethane thickeners (HEUR)
Paints and coating thickeners are rheology modifiers used in achieving optimal performance in paint and coating systems by controlling its stability, thixotropy, stain resistance, and sagging. They are typically added before the dispersing stage to obtain optimal flow behavior. All major types of paint and coating thickeners can be either grouped as organic or inorganic paint and coating thickeners.
