Crayvallac® Rheological Modifiers

 


Features and Benefits:
  • Anti-settle CVP® and Flowtone® hydrogenated castor oil-based rheology modifiers (micronized powders)
    • Very good sag resistance and anti-settle properties
    • Good recoatability
    • Imparts shear-thinning rheology with thixotropic viscosity recovery
  • Crayvallac® and Flowtone® amide-modified hydrogenated castor oil-based rheology modifiers (micronized powders)
    • Very good sag resistance, anti-settle properties and recoatability
    • Imparts shear-thinning rheology with thixotropic viscosity recovery
    • Suitable for solvent-free coatings 
  • Crayvallac® amide wax-based rheology modifiers (micronized powders and pastes)
    • Very good sag resistance, anti-settle properties and recoatability
    • Imparts shear-thinning rheology with thixotropic viscosity recovery
    • Good storage stability
    • Overcomes the difficulties that exist with hydrogenated castor oil-based rheology modifiers (e.g., seeding, false body, migration of readily-dissolved species to the surface)
  • Crayvallac® 60X polyethylene wax paste
    • Easily dispersed
    • Good anti-settle properties at spraying viscosities, sag resistance and recoatability 
    • Very little effect on the apparent viscosity
    • Tolerant to high processing temperatures
    • Prevents caking in dip tanks, delivery lines and storage containers
  • Crayvallac® LA-100 modified urea liquid rheology modifier
    • Post-addition pourable liquid with temperature-independent activation
    • Very good recoatability, anti-settle and anti-sag properties
    • Imparts shear-thinning rheology with thixotropic viscosity recovery
  • Crayvallac® WF/WN/WS Series micronized waxes (PP/PE/PTFE)
    • Improved abrasion, slip, scratch and scuff resistance
    • Improved scrub resistance and heat-seal properties 
    • Decreased surface tension
    • Increased slip, surface lubricity and blocking resistance
    • Increased water resistance
    • Improved chemical and stain resistance 
  • Full line of graphic arts emulsions marketed under the Esi-Cryl™ trade name
  • Solid acrylic and styrenated acrylic resins and resin solutions
  • Hydrosol emulsion polymers for corrugated and flexo applications
