SYNTHRON SYNTHRO-THIX 608 Thickener

SYNTHRON SYNTHRO-THIX 608 Thickener is a high-performance associative polyurethane (HEUR) rheology modifier designed for waterborne coatings and inks. It delivers excellent mid-shear viscosity control, outstanding flow/leveling balance, and robust spatter resistance. Compatible with acrylics, styrene-acrylics, and vinyl acetate systems, it ensures low foam, good gloss retention, and shear-thinning behavior without compromising stability.
