Diamide-wax-based organic thixotropes are standard rheology modifiers that have been used for many years to formulate ultra-thick non-aqueous industrial, marine and protective coatings. Marine and protective coatings typically have very high requirements in terms of sag stability. These systems are typically spray applied in a high layer thickness of around 1000 ?m or even more in one pass. This high demand limits the selection of suitable rheology modifiers. Organic thixotropes provide the properties to fullfil this specific need. However, older classes of this technology, in particular, have complex requirements in terms of incorporation and activation. For optimum performance elevated temperatures ...
