Polyamide Wax Rheology Modifier for Adhesives
CAS Number: 57456-28-7
Polyamide wax rheology modifier is an organogelling agent that imparts thixotropy and sag resistance to solvent-borne, hot-melt, and reactive adhesive systems. It forms a three-dimensional gel network via hydrogen bonding that breaks down under shear for easy application and rebuilds at rest to prevent sag and settling. Polyamide wax is compatible with a wide range of resins including epoxies, polyurethanes, alkyds, and polyesters.
