Dupont THIXON OSN-2-EF Solvent-Based Adhesive – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of THIXON OSN-2-EF in solvent-based adhesive formulations?

A: THIXON OSN-2-EF is a rheology modifier designed to provide controlled viscosity, sag resistance, and improved suspension of fillers or pigments in solvent-based adhesive systems—especially during application and early film formation.


Q2: Is THIXON OSN-2-EF compatible with common organic solvents used in industrial adhesives?

A: Yes—it is formulated for compatibility with a broad range of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, ketones, esters, and chlorinated solvents typically found in high-performance solvent-based adhesives.


Q3: How does THIXON OSN-2-EF perform under elevated temperature conditions during processing or storage?

A: It maintains stable rheological performance across typical industrial processing temperatures and shows good thermal stability in solvent-based systems up to approximately 80 °C, without significant loss of thickening efficiency or gelation risk.


Q4: Can THIXON OSN-2-EF be used in adhesives intended for flexible packaging laminates?

A: Yes—it is commonly selected for laminating adhesives where controlled open time, non-drip application, and uniform bond line thickness are critical, including certain flexible packaging applications requiring solvent-based chemistry.
