Thickening Thixotropic Agent Anjeka 4410
DESCRIPTION
Anjeka 4410 is a liquid rheological additive suitable for medium polarity and solvent-free coating as well as room temperature curing resin systems. The additive produces highly thixotropic fluidity to improve sag resistance and settling resistance. The additive can be added later.
Thixotropic agents are additives commonly used in various materials, including paints, inks, adhesives, and pastes, to control their rheological properties. The primary function of a thixotropic agent is to impart thixotropy to the material, which means that the material exhibits a reversible change in viscosity under shear stress.
PRODUCT DATA

Typical Properties
The values given in this data sheet describe the typical properties and do not constitute specification limits.
| Density: | 1.15 g/ml (25℃) |

STORAGE AND HANDLING
It's important to keep this product in a dry environment as it can be affected by temperature. If you notice any minor cloudiness while storing it, don't worry, it won't impact its ability to control flow properties.
USE
Once mixed into a coating system, this additive creates a three-dimensional network structure. This structure promotes a thixotropic flow, preventing particles from settling and enhancing anti-sagging characteristics, all while ensuring a smooth finish.
RECOMMENDED ADDITION LEVEL
0.2-1% additive (as supplied) based upon the total formulation to prevent settling;
0.5-2% to prevent sagging, depending on the polarity and solids in the formulation.
PROCESSING INSTRUCTIONS
The additive should be added whilst stirring and distributed homogeneously. It is not necessary to control the temperature. The additive is also suitable for adjusting the viscosity afterwards by incorporating it as a post-additive.
