ROWAFLEX® TH 5

ROWAFLEX^® TH 5 is a thickener for polymer dispersions. The excellent efficiency of ROWAFLEX^® TH 5 makes it possible to significantly reduce the amount of use compared to conventional thickeners. To achieve the high efficiency of the product is in the neutral and in the alkaline range. ROWAFLEX^® TH 5 gives the polymer dispersion following properties:

• reaches the final viscosity after short mixing time in high field intensity
• has a positive influence on the rheological behavior of the paste
• high viscosities can be reduced with water
• TH 5 cannot be diluted with water nor stock solution can be made
• is self thickening
• APEO free (low fume)

ROWAFLEX^® TH 5 is a special thickener for thermoplastic powder/aqueous dispersions that are applied on rotary printing equipment. The required quantity of the finished product varies depending on the print template (mesh number/CP) and is between 0.4 and 0.6% in relation to the total paste quantity (evaluate a final viscosity of approx. 7.500-10.500 mPas).
