Xytu® TT-60

Alkali-Swellable Acrylic Thickener

TT-60 is an alkali-swellable acrylic thickener for latex paints, improving medium- and low-shear viscosity and anti-settling performance.

Description

This milky-white, low-viscosity liquid is easy to add and is an anionic alkali-swellable acrylic thickener. Suitable for latex paint formulations, it improves medium- and low-shear viscosity and anti-settling performance while providing good thixotropy, sag resistance, spatter resistance and in-can stability.

Directions for Use

Adjust the formulation pH to 8-9 before addition. Dilute with water at a product-to-water ratio of 1:1 or 1:2, then add. The source does not specify whether the dilution ratio is by mass or volume. Recommended dosage: 3-5% of formulation mass, measured as supplied. Determine the exact dosage in preliminary trials before paint preparation, according to the emulsion and target viscosity.

Packaging and Storage

Store away from light in a cool, dry place at 5–35°C with packaging intact. Reseal immediately after each use and use promptly after opening. Shelf life is 12 months from production.

Test Conditions and Selection

The as-supplied product pH (2-4) differs from the formulation pH (8-9) required before addition. The 3-5% dosage is based on the product as supplied, not the diluted mixture. Confirm dilution-ratio basis and density test temperature when needed.

See materials for coating formulation and application.
