Polyurethane Thickener PT-B
Polyurethane Thickener PT-B – Functional Polymer for Non-Polar Systems
Product Overview
PT-B is a high-performance polyurethane-based (polyurea) thickening agent designed to create a stable three-dimensional network in non-polar media. This polymeric structure effectively increases viscosity, maintains formulation integrity, and prevents phase separation, ensuring long-term stability in demanding applications. Its high thermal stability and tunable thixotropic behavior make it highly sought after in lubricating greases, cosmetic creams, and other oil-based systems.
Key Properties
-
Network formation: Builds a strong associative network through hydrogen bonding and physical crosslinks, providing excellent thickening efficiency.
-
Viscosity enhancement: Significantly increases the viscosity of non-polar fluids with low dosage levels.
-
Phase stability: Prevents settling, bleeding, and separation of components over time.
-
Thermal stability: Maintains performance across a wide temperature range, suitable for high-temperature applications.
-
Adjustable thixotropy: Allows fine-tuning of rheological behavior (shear-thinning and recovery) to meet specific processing and application needs.
Applications
-
Lubricating greases (automotive, industrial, and specialty).
-
Cosmetic creams, lotions, and sunscreens requiring texture and stability.
-
High-viscosity dispersions, sealants, and adhesives.
-
Oil-based coatings and inks where rheology control is critical.
Handling and Storage
-
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from moisture and direct sunlight.
-
Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent hygroscopic absorption and contamination.
-
Use appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, safety goggles, dust mask) when handling.
Packaging
Available in 25 kg bags, 50 kg drums, or custom packaging upon request.
Quality Assurance
Each batch is tested for thickening efficiency, viscosity build, and thermal stability to ensure consistent performance.
