thiXstrip® PhosGel™ Thixotropic gel additive for Acid Phosphate Conversion & Metal Pretreatment
Enhance your phosphate treatment processes with thiXstrip® PhosGel™—the specialized thixotropic gel additive engineered for precise, uniform application of acid phosphate conversion coatings and metal pretreatments.
- Superior Control & Coverage: Transforms your acidic, water-based phosphate solutions into a stable, gel-like consistency that clings to vertical, overhead, or irregular metal surfaces. Achieve even coating thickness, minimize drips, and reduce waste.
- Advanced Thixotropy: Shear-thinning formulation spreads smoothly under brush, roll, or spray and quickly returns to a thick, non-sagging gel at rest for easy control and stop/run resistance.
- Reliable Acid Compatibility: Built with acid-resistant clay thixotropes and high-performance silica, this additive maintains structure and consistency even in strongly acidic pretreatment baths (pH < 3).
- Improved Shelf Life & Stability: Prevents pigment and conversion coating particles from settling, ensuring every batch remains homogenous and effective.
- Professional Results, Easy Handling: Ideal for industrial, automotive, and restoration environments—whether spraying, brushing, or dipping metal parts, achieve consistent results and reduce rework.
Directions for Use
Mix directly into your prepared acid phosphate conversion solution at recommended weight percentages (2–3% thixotropic clay, 1–1.5% silica). High-shear mixing is required for optimal performance. See detailed instructions included for small batch (16oz/454g) formulations.
Key Applications
- Phosphate conversion coating gel on steel and aluminum
- Targeted spot-treatments and touch-up for rust removal
- Metal pretreatment prior to painting or powder coating
- Overhead, vertical, or hard-to-reach surface applications
Get tighter process control and cleaner, more efficient application with thiXstrip® PhosGel™—the trusted choice for professional phosphate conversion and metal pretreatment.
