Polyurethane Thickener PT-C
Polyurethane Thickener PT-C – Self-Assembling Rheology Modifier for Oils and Lubricants
Product Overview
PT-C is a high-performance polyurea-based thickening agent that regulates the viscosity of oils and other non‑polar fluids through the self‑assembly of its hydrophobic segments. This unique mechanism creates a pseudoplastic (shear‑thinning) structure, improving stability, enhancing ease of application, and providing excellent resistance to flow at rest while allowing easy spreading under shear.
Key Features
-
Self‑assembly: Hydrophobic segments organize into a network, efficiently increasing viscosity and creating a stable structure.
-
Pseudoplastic behavior: Provides shear‑thinning properties for easy application and good retention after shear removal.
-
Wide temperature range: Maintains performance across a broad thermal operating window.
-
Chemical inertness: Resistant to many chemicals, ensuring compatibility with various base fluids and additives.
-
Improved stability: Prevents phase separation and sedimentation over time.
-
Enhanced application: Offers good spreadability and film formation.
Applications
-
Lubricating greases for automotive and industrial use.
-
Cooling fluids and heat transfer oils.
-
Cosmetic creams, lotions, and sunscreens requiring viscosity control and texture.
-
Sealants and adhesives in oil‑based formulations.
Handling and Storage
-
Store in a cool, dry, well‑ventilated area, away from moisture and direct sunlight.
-
Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent contamination.
-
Use appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, safety goggles) when handling.
Packaging
Available in 25 kg bags, 50 kg drums, or custom packaging upon request.
Quality Assurance
