Organic thickeners exhibit shear-dependent behavior that significantly influences a coating’s flow, application properties, and overall performance. Their response under low-shear conditions differs fundamentally from their behavior at high shear, and this distinction is critical for formulators seeking predictable viscosity and stable rheology profiles.   At low shear, organic thickeners strengthen the coating’s internal network, increasing viscosity and maintaining stability. Under high shear, the same network momentarily relaxes, resulting in lower viscosity and better flow. This controlled, reversible response is what allows organic thickeners to perform consistently across different processing and application conditions.   For formulators, the key takeaway is that no single viscosity value tells the whole story. Organic thickeners must be evaluated across low-, mid-, and high-shear ranges to ensure the coating behaves correctly at rest, during application, and after film formation. Matching the thickener’s shear response to the coating’s requirements is critical for achieving stable, predictable performance.   In short, recognizing the dual behavior of organic thickeners is key to achieving predictable rheology. When the right thickener is paired with the right shear profile, coatings become easier to formulate, apply, and maintain across real-world conditions.

By choosing highly compatible, low-haze additives, formulators can balance appearance, flow, transparency, and long- term performance with confidence.       Performance-Focused Structure   1. Achieving High Optical Clarity Additives that minimize haze, turbidity, and micro-defects. 2. Delivering a Smooth, High-Gloss Finish Leveling strategies for premium appearance. 3. Ensuring Clean, Defect-Free Application Foam management and surface-control solutions. 4. Enhancing Durability and Scratch Resistance Wax and micro-powder selection for clear systems.     Clear-coat formulation is all about precision. If you understand what each additive contributes—wetting, leveling, defoaming, rheology—you’re already halfway to a flawless finish. And if you need support tailoring an additive package to your system, our team is always here to help.

In modern formulation development, additives are no longer just “performance enhancers.” They play a critical role in balancing three often competing priorities: performance, cost, and stability. Choosing the right additive requires a clear understanding of your system and the trade-offs involved, as each decision can impact multiple aspects of the final product.   Formulators often face three major, interconnected challenges when selecting additives:   Performance vs. Cost Premium additives may deliver excellent wetting, dispersing, defoaming, or leveling, but come at a higher price. Lower-cost alternatives can reduce upfront costs but may compromise performance or cause defects. Performance vs. Stability Some high-performance additives perform well under mild lab conditions but destabilize the formulation under heat, shear, or extreme pH. Ensuring long-term stability while maintaining effectiveness is key. Cost vs. Stability Cheaper additives might save money initially, but they can lead to shorter shelf life, rework, or production delays—ultimately increasing total cost of ownership.   Selecting the right additive isn’t about picking the “strongest” one—it’s about choosing the one that fits your system. Start by understanding your formulation and its challenges. Focus on the performance attributes that matter most. Adjust dosage and the order of addition carefully. Finally, test additives under conditions that match real production to avoid surprises later. Cost should always be weighed against potential losses from instability or defects.   Balancing performance, cost, and stability is a key challenge in modern formulation development. With a thorough understanding of the system, careful additive selection, and realistic testing, formulators can achieve optimal results that meet both technical and commercial goals.   Interested in learning how additive strategies can optimize your formulation development?

Anjeka Experimental Report (No：2025071201)   Anjeka 6503 Project: Dispersant Comparison Category: Testing of Dispersant Performance in Polyester Resin for Titanium Dioxide Dispersion and Let-Down Stability Personnel: R&D Department Date Submitted: Sep. 28, 2025 Abstract   This study evaluates the performance of selected Anjeka dispersants for dispersing titanium dioxide and carbon black in a polyester resin baking enamel system. The assessment is based on two key observations: the color difference in rub-up tests on drawn-down panels and the degree of pigment flooding in the paste stored in the container.A color paste was prepared by grinding polyester resin with titanium dioxide and carbon black. This paste was then let down into a paint, which was placed under observation. The paint formulated with Anjeka dispersant, after standing at 60°C for 3 days, exhibited a smaller color difference in rub-up tests compared to the reference sample.   Key words:dispersant, Rub-up Color Difference     1.Objective To evaluate and select a dispersant with superior anti-flooding performance for titanium dioxide dispersion in a coil coating system, by conducting a comparative study against the competitive dispersant 2311.   2.Experimental Plan The dispersants are to be incorporated into a polyester resin system to prepare color pastes. The state of these pastes will be observed after standing. Subsequently, the pastes will be let down into paints. Draw-down panels will be prepared and subjected to rub-up tests to evaluate color difference.   3.Results and Discussion 3.1 Procedure According to Table 1 below, prepare separate white and black color pastes (using AJK 6503 and the competitor 2311 for the white pastes, and AJK 6040 for the black paste). Measure the viscosity after grinding is complete. Prepare the gray paint according to Table 2. Perform a rub-up test on the draw-down panel and measure the color difference of the rubbed area using a colorimeter. Place the paste sample in a 60°C oven for 3 days for observation. 3.2 Performance Testing   3.2.1 Experimental Formulation   Table1 Black & White Monochrome Formulations   White paste Black paste Remarks polyester resin 30 60 Wanbang 3871 solvent 8.5 27 Xylene dispersant 1.5 3 6503/2311 6040 titanium dioxide 60   Lomon R996 Carbon black   10 Mitsubishi MA100 Total 100 100     Prepare the paste according to the formulation in Table 1.

Although reference sample 2311 shows a slightly smaller color difference before and after heat aging, severe flooding (whitening) was observed on the panel surface in both cases.   Anjeka Dispersant                                      Reference: 2311 No delamination or flooding observed.      Severe Flooding   4. Conclusions Testing demonstrates that in the coil coating system, the white paste prepared with Anjikang dispersant Anjeka 6503 and the black paste prepared with Anjeka 6040 exhibit excellent viscosity reduction and outstanding stability against pigment flooding.
