DISPARLON AQ-870

 DISPARLON AQ-870 is a polyamide based rheology control agent for water-borne systems. A 3-D network structure is formed by interaction of AQ-870 with the coating vehicle; as a result it prevents sagging and pigment settling. AQ-870 is different from traditional water-borne thickening agents since it has strong pseudoplasiticy. AQ-870 can be easily added into systems with a dissolver.

ADVANTAGES:
Easy incorporation
Prevents hard caking by minimizing pigment settling
Excellent humidity resistance
Orientation of metallic and pearlescent pigments
Highly shear thinning
