Paints, Coatings, and Paint Removers – POLYOX™ polymers may be used as aqueous phase thickeners for latex paints. And they're also excellent thickeners for many organic solvents. POLYOX WSR N-750 resin is typically used at 3.0 % by weight in paint and varnish removers.
Cements and Concrete – In cement mortars, POLYOX Resins provide aqueous thickening to provide proper body and application properties. Because they form pseudoplastic (shear thinning) solutions, they enhance workability of cements and mortars.
POLYOX WSR-301 resin adds excellent lubricity to concrete mixes at 0.005 to 0.01% of formulation weight to assist pumpability. Wood Glues – The strong hydrogen bonding affinity of POLYOX Resins lets these polyethers form association complexes with various polar compounds such as phenolic resins, mineral acids, halogens, ureas, lignin sulfonic acids, lignosulfonates, and poly (carboxylic) acids. These novel complexes often form very strong intermolecular associations and can serve as the basis for excellent adhesion in wood glue formulations.
