Borchi Gel ALA Anionic acrylic polymer Borchers Rheology Modifier/ Thickener Coatings >> Waterborne INKS Water Borchi® Gel ALA is a polyacrylate-based thickener in the form of anionic acrylic polymer in water. Improves the rheological of aqueous coating systems. It allows optimum adjustement of flow and levelling properties, improves film structure and minimise spatter dutring application of emulsion paints, lacquers and printing inks. The optimisation of flow characteristics results in a significant improvement in optical properties, particularly in high gloss emulsion systems. To improve rheological properties, Borchi Gel ALA is readily combinable with polyurethene thicheners and/or cellulose thickeners. 0.1-2 %wt based on binder content. Solution of anionic acrylic polymer in water. Used as a thickener for aqueous paint systems, emulsion paints, lacquers and printing inks. Offers optimum adjustement of flow and levelling properties. Improves film structure. Reduces spatter during application. Gives improved optical properties, particularly in high gloss emulsion systems.
