A thixotropic agent is a substance added to a liquid to increase its viscosity at rest while causing it to become more fluid when agitated, stirred, or otherwise sheared. This reversible, time-dependent change in viscosity is called thixotropy.
Features:
Preventing liquid silicone from running
Helping to build silicone up to desired thickness in order to holdlarger grade aggregate surfaces
Reducing a risk of aggregate migration on the sloped surfaceSimple, easy to use
Non Toxic & Environment friendly
Appearance
An odourless of transparent liquid.
Mixing ratio: Normally, the mixing ratio is within 1%.However, it depends on your requirements for pot life and curing time
How it works
When agitated:
The agent‘s internal structure is broken down, allowing the liquid to flow more easily, which is ideal for mixing and application.
When at rest:
The structure reforms, causing the material to become a gel-like or paste-like substance that holds its shape and does not run or drip.
Common applications
Paints and coatings:
Prevents dripping and ensures smooth, even application on walls and ceilings.
Construction:
Improves the workability of mortars, adhesives, and self-leveling compounds.
Silicone and latex:
Used to thicken silicone or latex for applications like mold making, where it allows for build-up on vertical surfaces without running off.
Sealants:
Enables gap filling and ensures airtightness.
Automotive, appliances, and packaging:
Used in various plastic compounds and other materials to control flow and stability.
