Paragum 600
Tiarco RST · Paragum
Paragum 600 is an alkali-soluble, APEO-free thickener that forms high-efficiency thickeners when neutralized with alkali, such as ammonia or caustic. It is widely used as an in-situ thickener for coatings, adhesives, dispersions, and solutions, rapidly thickening alkaline or acidic materials when pH is adjusted. Paragum 600 provides ease of handling, safety, and consistent thickening efficiency, with a short, buttery flow characteristic. Applications include coatings, adhesives, specialty suspensions, carpet, upholstery, textiles, inks, industrial cleaners, and specialty dispersions.
