Inorganic Thickeners for Water-Based Container Coatings

Inorganic Thickeners for Water-Based Container Coatings | Controlled Viscosity Without Overload

Inorganic thickeners for water-based container coatings that provide balanced viscosity, anti-sag performance, and formulation stability.

In water-based container coatings, simple viscosity increase is not enough. Excessive thickening can harm sprayability, while insufficient structure leads to sagging and uneven coverage.

Inorganic thickeners build controlled viscosity by forming a mineral-based network in water. This approach increases yield stress and low-shear stability without causing excessive resistance during application. The result is a coating that applies smoothly and stays in place on vertical surfaces.

For container coating producers, inorganic thickeners offer a stable and predictable solution for thick-film, industrial applications.
