DISPARLON AQ-600
DISPARLON AQ-600 is a polyamide based rheology control agent for water-borne systems. A 3-D network structure is formed by interaction of AQ-600 with the coating vehicle; as a result it prevents sagging and pigment settling. AQ-600 is different from traditional water-borne thickening agents since it has strong pseudoplasiticy.
