TeknoGel
A Rhealogical Additive - A prime Substitute for Hydroxy Ethyl Cellulose.

TeknoGel is a grafted high polymeric polysaccharide based.

TeknoGel is a colloidal stabilizer, suspender and viscofying agent of a very high order, much superior to contemporary products based on vegetable gums, alginates and CMC.

TeknoGel serves as an ideal substitute for products like Hydroxy Ethyl Cellulose, Sodium CMC, etc. It’s Ecofriendly & More stable even for prolonged storage of the finished product. TeknoGel serves as better viscosity modifier & colloidal stabilizer in Interior & Exterior Paints, Velvet Paints, Cement Paints, Wet Wall Putty, Acrylic Paints & Distempers.

  • It has Superior pigment dispersion properties & imparts excellent color uniformity through control of flooding & floating.
  • Superior viscosity stabilisation.
  • High Saline and heavy metal stability.
  • Excellent Water Retention
  • Highly Stable to wide rang of temperature

TeknoGel series are compatible with synthetic resin dispersions such as Polyvinyl Acetate, Polyvinyl propionate, Poly-acrylic emulsion and with polar solvents such as Methanol / Ethanol, Glycerin / Sorbitol and Propylene Glycol.

  • Is compatible with anionic/non-ionic surface-active agents.
  • Retains Thixotropic properties the best between pH 3 to 11.
  • Reduces syneresis.
  • Enhances Recoatability.
  • Imparts enhanced wash and scrub resistance.
  • Solution does not have any bittiness.
Application of TeknoGel: Recommended percentage of 0.2 - 1%. However, desired change in percentage usage will have to be made depending on the formulate requirement.

Preparation of TeknoGel Solution: Stir gradually into water with constant stirring to avoid agglomerates and allow smooth swelling. Consequently, stir at high speed till the maximum viscosity is achieved. Add the usual additives & pigments.
