HEUR Rheology Modifier for the High Shear Range / Paints and Coatings
Borchi® Gel 0434 is a HEUR rheology modifier (Hydrophobically modified Ethoxylated Urethane copolymer rheology modifier) with excellent thickening efficiency. This solution works well as a high shear range thickener for improved rheological profiles in coatings. Borchi® Gel 0434 is a non-ionic, polyurethane-based additive for water-based coatings systems. It is glycol ether-, tin- and VOC-free.

Benefits of HEUR Rheology Modifiers for the High Shear Range
Borchi® Gel 0434 promotes good gloss and flow and leveling properties in paints, inks, and adhesives. This HEUR thickener yields spatter resistant coatings with outstanding brush/roller application properties and good physical properties in paint formulations. Borchi® Gel 0434 improves water sensitivity, prevents sagging, and quickly develops high shear thixotropy. This solution provides excellent hiding power for coatings.

Dosage
- 0.5 – 4.0% on total formulation
Pre-thinning is possible but generally not required. The exact dosage should be experimentally determined.
Storage
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.
