Foreword

Elementis Specialties supplies three classes of

rheological additives for waterborne systems.

♦ Clays and modified clays

♦ Convenfional and hydrophobically modified

alkali-swellable emulsions (ASE/HASE)

♦ Nonionic synthetic associative thickeners

(NiSAT)

- Polyether polyurethanes (HEUR/PEPU)

- Polyether polyols (PEPO)

Each product type has its own characteristic

properties. Careful selection of these rheological

additives will ensure that the right set of performance

properties are achieved in formulated products.

Clays and Modified ClaysElementis Specialties clay products for waterborne

systems are mainly based on hectorite, a naturally

occurring smectite clay. Hectorite is a sodium

magnesium lithium silicate mineral composed of thin,

colloidal sized platelets. In the dry state, the platelets

are stacked together in fine aggregates. Under the

correct conditions of wetting and shear, the stacks

will swell, delaminate and disperse in water to form a

viscous and thixotropic suspension.

In practice, the natural clay is refined to remove

impurities so as to develop it’s high rheological

efficiency. The clay can also be modified further

by blending with suitable polymers to achieve

optimum flow or improved wetting characteristic for

specific applications. Such a modification imparts

excellent dispersion and rheological performance for

waterborne applications.


BENTONE® DE

Refined natural hectorite clay modified for easy

dispersion. It allows for high pregel solids (14%)

with pourable viscosity. BENTONE® DE provides

excellent in-can stability and sag control for a wide

range of coating formulations.

BENTONE® LTOrganically modified refined natural hectorite clay.

It provides excellent mid and low shear thickening

efficiency, suspension property, sag resistance and

in-can stability, as well as a wide pH acceptance

for waterborne systems.

BENTONE® DY CEBENTONE® DY CE is an optimized blend of

smectite clay with a natural polymer. This product

was specifically designed to prevent syneresis in

standard architectural paints while maintaining

open time. It is also suitable for industrial coatings

including waterborne epoxies.

BENAQUA® 4000A blend of hectorite clay and organic polymer that

exhibits very high low shear viscosity and superb

shear-thinning rheological behavior which is beneficial

for providing outstanding suspension control, sag

resistance in textured coatings.

Hydrophobically Modified Alkali-Swellable Emulsion Thickeners (HASE)Hydrophobically modified alkali-swellable rheological

additives provide thickening and rheological

performance in waterborne systems by molecular

chains extension into water phase under alkaline

condition. The hydrophobic groups along the HASE

polymer chains associate with other components

(e.g. binder, pigment, surfactant, etc.) in paint

formulations. They provide predictable viscosity

development, ease of handling and the flexibility of

being post-added in the manufacturing process.

Through innovative polymer design, these thickeners

are able to provide a wide range of rheological

behavior from highly shear thinning to near Newtonian

flow. They also enhance spatter resistance while

improving flow and leveling. Some of these products

are suitable replacement (partially or completely) for

HEC and HMHEC. Furthermore, HASE are enzyme

resistant unlike HEC/HMHEC.

Fig. 3 Thickening mechanism of HASE rheological additives

RHEOLATE® 150 , RHEOLATE® 465 and

RHEOLATE® AP 425 are newly developed VOC free

HASE thickeners for the Asia Pacific coatings market

providing environment-friendly and cost effective

solutions to formulators of waterborne decorative

paints.

RHEOLATE® 150Cost-effective HASE thickener for low to mid shear

viscosity build. It is low odor, APEO and VOC-free

offering excellent color development and syneresis

control for use in decorative coatings, adhesives,

textile, waterproofing coatings, etc. Often used as a

partial substitute for HEC and HMHEC.

RHEOLATE® 465A strong hydrophobically modified alkali swellable

acrylic thickener that demonstrates both ionic and

associative thickening mechanisms with an excellent

balance of the respective properties. This provides

both mid and high shear rate viscosity with balanced

performance forsuperior package and application

properties.

RHEOLATE® AP 425High performance HASE thickener for mid shear

viscosity build. It is low in odor, APEO and VOC-

free offering superior balance of sag resistance and

flow and leveling, color development and syneresis

control for a wide range of coatings and non-coatings

applications. Can be used a sole thickener giving

a good balance of low, medium and high shear

viscosity build.

Non-Ionic Synthetic Associative Thickeners (NISAT) The structure of Non-ionic synthetic associative

thickeners can be schematically represented as two

hydrophobic heads and a hydrophilic backbone.

The analogy with the traditional representation of

a surfactant is obvious and indeed these materials

behave in many respects just like surfactants in

coatings formulations.

The properties of these associative thickeners are

controlled by changing the frequency and chemistry

of the hydrophobic units. More hydrophobic caps

give stronger association and shear thinning flow.

If the caps are less hydrophobic, association is

weak and the additive gives a more Newtonian flow

behavior.

Elementis Specialties offers two series of

RHEOLATE® associative rheological additives: one

is based on polyether polyurethane and the other on

polyether polyol chemistry. Both classes are capable

of providing the type of flow expected of a solvent-

based alkyd paint. This leads to ease of application

and improvements in roller spatter resistance, flow,

leveling and film build.

Polyether polyurethane associative thickeners

enhance the finish quality of paints and coatings.

However their associative interactions are strongly

influenced by other formulation ingredients such

as latex (type, particle size and surface chemistry),

co-solvents and surfactants. Thus their rheological

properties may vary to some extent in different

formulation systems.

Comparing with polyether polyurethanes, polyether polyol rheological additives provide the following advantages:

♦ Less sensitivity to particle size of latex ♦ Less effect by surfactant♦ Less sensitivity to changes in co-solvent ♦ Better color acceptance and stability

Elementis Specialties offers five series of non-ionic

associative rheological additives, namely the

well-established standard PEPU RHEOLATE® 200

series, the PEPO RHEOLATE® 300 series, the

environmentally-friendly RHEOLATE® 600 series,

the DeuRheo WT series and the high active content

RHEOLATE® FX 1000 series. In recent years,

Elementis Specialties launched three new products,

i.e. RHEOLATE® 299, RHEOLATE CVS® -15 and

RHEOLATE® 350 D for the coatings market.

RHEOLATE® 299A polyether polyurethane rheological additive

specially developed for spraying systems, low odor,

APEO and organotin-free offering outstanding shear

thinning property, excellent spray atomization and

thickening response. It does not cause reduction in

gloss and transparency when used in automotive

refinish, wood coatings, anti-corrosive and plastic

coatings.

Fig. 8 Effect of surfactant on thickening behavior of NiSAT rheological additives

RHEOLATE CVS® -15A new polyether polyurethane rheological additive,

Foam control is a complex problem. No single

defoamer is adequate for all applications. Foam and

bubbles can be easily generated during production,

transfer and application processes. Careful selection

of defoamer is crucial to ensure adequate foam

control while not being too incompatible with the

coating system that often gives rise to surface

defects such as fish-eye, craters, cissing, loss of

gloss, etc. Modern coating formulations present ever

increasing challenges to formulators due to the need

to comply with VOC regulations and the use of newer

generation binders and additives. By consolidating

the existing DAPRO® and Defom defoamers with

the new range of defoamers that Elementis acquired

from Hi-Mar Specialty Chemicals, a more diversified

product portfolio is now at the customer’s disposal.

Our customers can now choose from a broad range

of products to tackle their foam problem, be it in the

formulation, production or application processes.

Defoamers DAPRO® DF/AP 7000 defoamers are dispersions

of ultra-fine hydrophobic particles in mineral oils.

Apart from giving high defoaming efficiency, they also

possess excellent storage stability. It is suggested to

evaluate few suitable DAPRO® foam suppressors

to determine the most effective one for any given

formulation. Other DAPRO® defoamers are typically

used in industrial coating formulations. They have

a range of chemistries to be compatible with most

systems. For trouble shooting purposes the best

bubble breakers are DAPRO® DF 880, DAPRO® DF 1760 and particularly DAPRO® DF 1492.

DAPRO® AP 7010, DAPRO® AP 7015 and

DAPRO® AP 7071 are a series of environmentally-

friendly and economical products produced in Asia

Pacific region.

PP Adhesion PromoterPolypropylene (PP) and thermoplastic polyolefin

(TPO) are used widely in car industry, cosmetics,

plastic films, toys, household appliances and

packaging materials. These substrates are hard to

coat due to the high surface crystallinity, low surface

energy and polarity. Chlorinated polyolefins have

been successfully used as adhesion promoters

in solvent-based coatings for these substrates. To

meet the market need for lower VOC formulations,

waterborne chlorinated polyolefin dispersions have

been introduced for this purpose.

Through its relentless effort, Elementis Specialties

has recent ly ro l led out an acry l ic modi f ied

waterborne chlorinated polyolefin dispersion

DAPRO® ACP-16W which is APEO and VOC-free

and provides superb aidhesion on polypropylene

(PP) and thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) substrates.

DAPRO® ACP-16W can be used as the main resin

or incorporated with other resins. It can be used as

clear coat or colored coat for waterborne automotive

basecoat, adhesives and inks, etc.

Physical PropertiesComposition : acrylic modified chlorinated

polyolefin

Non-volatile content : ca. 30 %

Solvent : water

pH value : 7.0 - 9.0

Appearance : milky white to milky yellow liquid

Substrate Wetting, Mar & Slip and Leveling AgentsSurface defects such as cratering, de-wetting.

shrinkage, marring, blocking and bubbles are some of

the common problems faced by waterborne coating

formulators. Wetting and leveling agents and waxes

are frequently employed to solve these defects.

These are multi-functional surface control additives,

which prevent cratering and shrinkage, enhance

wetting, spreading and leveling properties, as well

as provide smooth tactile, anti-scratching and anti-

blocking properties. DAPRO® and Levaslip additive

series have long been used to help formulators

overcome these issues.

Wax DispersionsWax dispersions impart scratch, mar and abrasion

resistance, anti-blocking, and tactile properties to

coatings by migrating to the surfaces during the film

formation process. Thus different wax dispersions,

coating formulations and techniques will lead to a

variety of surface performance properties.

SLIP-AYD® wax dispersions include natural and

synthetic waxes, polyethylene and polyolefin blends,

each dispersed in a variety of solvent water/vehicle

blends. These vehicle blends have been selected for

optimum performance in the widest range of coating

systems. The degree of dispersion has been carefully

controlled for reproducible results.

SLIP-AYD® wax dispersions will mix easily into a

coating at any point of manufacture, including final

let down. They can also be post-added with simple

stirring to correct a problem in a finished coating.

SLIP-AYD® dispersions as delivered are thixotropic

and should always be mixed before use to reduce

their viscosity and allow for easy addition.

Waterborne Speciality Additives

35

Dispersions of the same wax can show dramatic

differences in performance depending on the liquid

phase used in the dispersion. Any change in the

wax dispersion or in the coating can alter the rate

at which the wax will come to the surface as the

coating dries. In extreme cases, one SLIP-AYD®

dispersion may have no effect in a given coating

while another based on the same wax in a different

vehicle will provide the required results.

Rust InhibitorsMetal surfaces such as steel structures and tin plates

are easily oxidized upon coating with waterborne

systems. In the extreme case, flash rust develops as

early as during the drying process especially for high

carbon content or sandblasted metal substrates.

Flash rusting is an annoying issue for formulators

when they design waterborne coatings for metal

substrates. Waterborne coatings also tend to

corrode metallic packaging materials especially the

joint areas during product storage (in-can corrosion).

Therefore, incorporation of a suitable rust inhibitor

is important for prevention of flash rusting and

corrosion of metal substrates (in-can corrosion).

Compared with the traditional rust inhibitors, the

NALZIN® series provide more effective flash rust

resistance, lower water sensitivity, and longer

term in-can corrosion resistance, while meeting

environmentally-friendly and nontoxic requirements.

NALZIN® FA 179 is a corrosion inhibitor for

waterborne coating systems to counteract flash rust.

It is also recommended as an inhibitor against in-can

corrosion.

NALZIN® FA 379 is a liquid corrosion inhibitor for

waterborne coatings, based on an organic zinc

complex with a nitrogen compound. Although

this product is nitrite free, it still gives excellent

performance as a permanent corrosion inhibitor in

coatings. NALZIN® FA 379 also counteracts both

flash and early rust formation.

NALZIN® FA 579 is a nitrite free organic zinc

complex used in waterborne coatings to combat

flash rusting and in-can corrosion. It is suitable for

use in low pH formulations.
