1.Medium and low shear thickener;
2.Excellent thickening effect, fluidity and leveling property;
3.Free of organotin, APEO and other toxic substances;
4.Good dispersibility, which assists in the wetting and dispersion of pigments in the formulation;
5.Non-ionic nature, with performance unaffected by the pH value of the system;
6.No adverse effect on the gloss of formulated products.
HEUR-551A is a liquid water-based thickener composed of polyurethane with a comb-like structure, featuring medium and low shear performance. It delivers outstanding performance in systems with a relatively high solvent content and is easy to apply. This product outperforms traditional cellulose-based thickeners (e.g., HEC hydroxyethyl cellulose, MC methyl cellulose, etc.) and acrylic thickeners in terms of leveling property, film gloss and water resistance.

1.Dosage: 0.2-2.0% relative to the total formulation. Conduct tests to determine the optimal dosage according to the system components and required fluidity before addition. It can also be diluted with water-based solvents or water for better dispersibility.
2.It can be added either before or after grinding. It is recommended to add a portion in the early stage and the rest in the later stage.
3.Good dispersibility – no pre-dilution is required before use; if dilution is needed, water-based solvents can be used.
1.Associative thickening is affected by temperature: viscosity is higher at low temperatures and lower at high temperatures. Temperature conditions should be taken into account when designing the formulation.
2.Re-test shall be conducted when the batch of thickened raw materials is changed to confirm the dosage of the thickener.
3.This product may crystallize at low temperatures, and crystallization does not affect product performance. If crystallization occurs, heat the product to melt the crystals before use.
1.Store in the original sealed container;
2.Recommended storage temperature: 6-28℃;
3.Must be used up within 12 months from the date of production;
4.Avoid direct sunlight and contamination by other substances.
