CHLUMICRYL® TH-255B Mid-Shear Associative Polyurethane Thickener

CHLUMICRYL® TH-255B is a nonionic, hydrophobically modified polyurethane thickener for mid-shear viscosity control and leveling. It is supplied at 40% solids for waterborne architectural and industrial coatings, inks and adhesives. The application profile emphasizes flow, brush application, film fullness and reduced roller spatter in compatible formulations.

Description

Product Overview

CHLUMICRYL® TH-255B is an associative rheology modifier intended to balance mid-shear thickening with flow and leveling. It can be evaluated in architectural paints, industrial coatings for rigid or flexible substrates, waterborne inks and adhesives. The product information emphasizes brush feel, hiding, uniform film formation and resistance-related properties in the finished coating. Unlike a low-shear-focused thickener, this grade is selected for the application-viscosity and leveling balance at intermediate shear. Use the documented dosage range as a formulation starting point, then measure the complete flow profile, storage stability and finished-film appearance with the actual resin and pigment package.

Grade Characteristics

  • Mid-shear viscosity control
  • Flow and leveling profile
  • Supports brush application and uniform film build
  • Can reduce roller spatter in compatible systems

These values are technical selection data, not a batch-specific certificate of analysis. Test methods, current specifications and any acceptance limits should be confirmed before ordering.

Applications

  • Waterborne architectural coatings and latex paints
  • Waterborne industrial coatings
  • Waterborne inks and adhesives
  • Petrochemical water-treatment formulations following compatibility testing

Formulation and Handling

The documented starting range is 0.5-2.0% of the total formulation; confirm the dosing basis and optimize for the required rheology.

Verify the addition sequence and need for dilution in the actual formulation.

Review the current SDS before handling.

  • Mid-shear performance is formulation-dependent; unchanged gloss or pH-independent behavior is not guaranteed.

Check binder compatibility, substrate preparation, application conditions and final coating or bond performance in your own formulation. Waterborne use does not by itself establish solvent-free status or a hazard classification. Consult the current safety data sheet and use appropriate industrial handling controls.

Emballage et stockage
