Technical Control HEUR Thickener｜Achieve Smooth, Thick Water-Based Coatings

As water-based coatings see increasingly broad use across construction, home furnishings, and industrial applications, market demand continues to rise—not only for application performance and film appearance but also for environmental compliance.

As a critical additive in water-based coating systems, a thickener affects much more than viscosity and storage stability. It also directly influences leveling, gloss, and application feel. However, achieving an ideal balance between thickening efficiency and leveling performance remains a key challenge in formulation design.

Technical Control HEUR Water-Based Thickener

Technical Control PT-66 HEUR Thickener is designed specifically for medium- to low-shear systems. It is APEO-free and helps increase coating viscosity while delivering excellent leveling, gloss, and anti-splash performance—enabling formulators to achieve stable, high-quality coating results.

Product Features & Advantages

In practical formulations, selecting the right thickener often requires a trade-off between application feel and film appearance. Technical Control PT-66 provides good viscosity development in medium- to low-shear conditions, helping support storage stability and anti-splash performance—without sacrificing flow and leveling. It is especially suitable for systems with higher requirements for film gloss.

Medium/Low-shear, APEO-free

Effectively improves viscosity under medium- and low-shear conditions, delivering higher thickening efficiency. At the same time, it meets environmental requirements for added peace of mind.

Stable Performance, Well-Balanced

Strikes a strong balance among thickening efficiency, leveling, and gloss—so you don’t have to choose between viscosity and appearance.

Application-Friendly, Smooth and Effortless

Enhances flow, leveling, and anti-splash performance to improve the overall on-site experience.

Excellent Compatibility, Flexible Formulation

Works well with a wide range of water-based resin systems with excellent compatibility. It is less prone to layering or flocculation, giving formulators more freedom and flexibility.

Recommended Applications

Water-based interior/exterior wall coatings:

Improves application performance and coating appearance in latex paints and textured coatings.

High-gloss systems such as gloss paints and clear coats:

Helps achieve a high-gloss, highly level film finish.

Suggested dosage:

0.2–2% based on the total coating formulation. Adjust according to your target viscosity and application requirements.

How to use:

It is recommended to dilute PT-66 with an equal amount of water (1:1) before adding to the system, to support fast and uniform dispersion.
