Hyma CR-35 Thickener – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What types of formulations is Hyma CR-35 Thickener most commonly used in?

A: Hyma CR-35 Thickener is widely employed in aqueous-based industrial coatings, architectural paints, printing inks, and waterborne adhesives where controlled rheology and suspension stability are required. It performs especially well in systems demanding non-drip behavior and sag resistance.


Q2: How does Hyma CR-35 differ from conventional associative thickeners?

A: Unlike many hydrophobically modified ethoxylated urethanes (HEURs), Hyma CR-35 offers a balanced combination of high-shear thinning and robust low-shear viscosity build, enabling both sprayability and anti-settling performance without excessive sensitivity to surfactants or co-solvents.


Q3: Is Hyma CR-35 compatible with common biocides and pH adjusters used in water-based systems?

A: Yes — Hyma CR-35 demonstrates good compatibility with standard isothiazolinone and benzisothiazolinone biocides, as well as typical pH adjusters like AMP-95 and TEA. However, it is recommended to conduct compatibility testing within the final formulation due to potential interactions with specific preservative blends or high levels of electrolytes.


Q4: What is the typical dosage range for effective thickening with Hyma CR-35?

A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements, but Hyma CR-35 is typically used at low concentrations — generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight relative to the total formulation — to achieve target viscosity and rheological profile.
