thiXstrip® High-Performance Thixotropic Solvent Additive

Achieve superior control, application ease, and storage stability in your solvent-based formulations with thiXstrip® High-Performance Thixotropic Solvent Additive.

• Outstanding Thixotropy: Delivers robust shear-thinning behavior for effortless spreading, rolling, or brushing—ensuring smooth, consistent application every time.
• Excellent Sag Resistance: Maintains precise, uniform film build without drips or runs, even on vertical or overhead surfaces.
• Enhanced Anti-Settling: Minimizes pigment and filler settling during storage, preserving formulation consistency for extended shelf life.
• Fast Structure Recovery: Recovers viscosity rapidly after shear, preventing slumping and guttering post-application.

Ideal For:

• Industrial and protective coatings
• Adhesives and sealants
• Specialty inks and solventborne formulations
• Decorative finishes requiring high build

Usage Instructions:

1. Disperse additive in a portion of your chosen solvent using vigorous high-shear mixing.
2. For optimal performance, introduce a suitable polar activator (if required). Allow the structure to form fully before proceeding.
3. Incorporate a high surface-area rheology enhancer for improved anti-settling and faster viscosity recovery as needed.
4. After mixing, allow the product to rest for full gel development prior to use or packaging.

Value to Formulators: thiXstrip® enables precise rheology tuning without compromising clarity or stability, helping you create high-performance, user-friendly solvent systems. Perfect for applications where reliable sag control and effortless application are critical.
