Bio Derived Cellulose Nanofiber Thickener for Sustainable Waterborne Coatings

Rheology Modifiers – Introduction

Rheology modifiers (or thickeners) are specialized additives designed to control the flow behavior, stability, and application properties of liquid systems such as coatings, adhesives, inks, and personal care products. These additives precisely adjust viscosity, prevent sagging/settling, and enhance texture—ensuring optimal performance during storage, processing, and end-use.

Key Functions & Benefits

✔ Shear-Thinning Behavior

• High viscosity at rest (prevent pigment settling) → Low viscosity under shear (easy brushing/spraying).
  ✔ Sag & Drip Resistance

• Ideal for vertical-surface coatings (e.g., architectural paints, 3D printing).
  ✔ Improved Suspension

• Stabilize pigments, fillers, and matting agents in liquid systems.
  ✔ Texture Enhancement

• Provide creamy, non-flowable consistency in cosmetics or adhesives.
  ✔ Water Retention

• Critical for cementitious materials and water-based formulations.

Common Chemistry Types

• Associative Thickeners (HEUR, HASE): Shear-thinning, high gloss (e.g., PU-based for coatings).

• Cellulose Derivatives (HEC, CMC): Water retention, pseudoplastic flow.

• Inorganics (Clay, Silica): Thixotropy for anti-settling.

• Polyamide Waxes: Gel structure in solvent-based systems.

1. Do you supply sample?We supply free sample within 1kg and you got to pay for courier freight cost. The trial cost we refund to you on bulk order.

2. What is your shipping method and transportation? For sample,we mostly deliver small packages by Fedex/DHL air cargo with door-to-door service, which are safe and reliable for chemical liquid delivery. For bulk order, sea transportation is our first choice to save shipping cost. We make efforts to satisfy your specify requirements.

3.What is your suggestions for sample trial? First, We suggest that everytime you use a small quantity of samples to test. Because the quantity of samples is limited, PLEASE do not use up all the samples for testing in one-time. so you can test samples for many times. If first time testing is not good, then we can have a second chance to adjust the testing process.You should adjust a suitable dilution ratio according to the specific practical testing.
