BYK® -AQUAGEL 7100

BYK® -AQUAGEL 7100 by BYK is a rheology modifier based on a natural, highly purified, delaminated phyllosilicate that generates thixotropic flow behavior. It is suitable for improving storage stability by preventing solid substances from settling.

• It improves the application properties of more highly filled systems and increase sag resistance, enabling higher film thicknesses.
• It is inorganic and stable to diluted bases and common diluted acids.
• It allows the manufacturing of highly filled, flowable intermediates that can be further processed universally without additional dispersion and remain low-viscosity and storage-stable over a long period.
• It is easy incorporation and can be added to filled systems directly as a powder during the dispersion phase while stirring slowly and continuously.
• It is suitable for a multitude of aqueous paint systems and especially for use in matted and pigmented wood coating systems, emulsion plasters, emulsion paints, pigment concentrates, mbased on the total formulationrine-, protective-, architectural coating, wood, and furniture coating.
• Recommended dosage level is 0.1-3.0% based on the total formulation.
• BYK® -AQUAGEL 7100 has a shelf life of 60 months.
