Ashland has launched a new highly efficient thickening and anti-sagging agent for use in inorganic zinc-rich primers.
Klucel™ MS HPC
Klucel™ MS HPC is a non-ionic water-soluble cellulose ether with a versatile combination of properties. The product is suitable for permanent and temporary coatings sprayed onto ship panels prior to welding.
Brand New HPC Technology
“
This brand new HPC technology enables a major improvement in dissolution speed in polar organic solvents. The product provides highest thickening efficiency against chemistries commonly used as thickeners and anti-sagging agents for solvent-based zinc-rich primers,” said Dr. Robert Gibbison, marketing director performance additives. “
Furthermore, the product is soluble in water and multiple polar organic solvents used to control viscosity”.
“
Our customers are looking to improve their efficiencies and to improve the speed they can turn around product to the end customers,” adds Gibbison. “
This new Klucel™ MS HPC, gives them an edge in a competitive market place by offering fast dissolution and also a cost saving due to the lower dosage needed in the formulation.”
