LINTEC MT - 101: Revolutionizing Water-Based Coating Systems

In the realm of water-based coatings, LINTEC MT - 101 Macromolecular Rheology Modifier Thickener has emerged as a remarkable innovation.

LINTEC MT - 101 is an inverse emulsion thickener of the oil-in-water acrylic copolymer variety. It is characterized by its extremely high thickening efficiency. Notably, it does not necessitate the addition of extra ammonia or other neutralizing agents. This allows it to be directly incorporated into diverse water-based coating systems, including those based on styrene butadiene, VAE, acrylic, and emulsified asphalt emulsions.

This product has a milky white slightly yellow liquid appearance. It contains ≥80% solids and has a viscosity greater than 80,000 mPa S at 25°C. Its pH value ranges from 6 to 8.

When it comes to performance, LINTEC MT - 101 offers several significant advantages. Its high thickening efficiency enables precise control over the viscosity of the coating system. It is highly environmentally friendly, emitting a very low odor and being suitable for a wide pH range of applications, making it ideal for ammonia-free formula designs. Additionally, it provides excellent flow and anti-sagging properties, ensuring a smooth and even coating application. Moreover, it demonstrates good stability within the tank, preventing problems such as stratification and water separation.

For application, as a liquid, it can be added directly. It is advisable to add it slowly while slightly increasing the speed to generate shear force and allowing an appropriate mixing time to achieve the optimal thickening effect. The recommended dosage is 0.1% - 1.5% depending on the form of supply, and the exact amount should be determined based on the product's application performance.

In conclusion, with its outstanding properties and ease of use as an inverse emulsion thickener, LINTEC MT - 101 is set to make a significant impact on the water-based coating industry, providing enhanced performance and versatility to coating formulations.
