FLOW RESIN Sylothix adjuster

An ultra-light powder for thickening polyester and epoxy resins that are too thin for practical application.

Sylothix is composed of high-density polyethylene fibers and amorphous silica. It is a highly effective thixotropic thickener for liquids and pastes, and is used in adhesives, putties, sealants, coatings, dispersions and anti-corrosion systems, among others. These systems can be based on epoxy, polyester, polyurethane, bitumen or PVC. Sylothix offers a similar or better thickening effect than pyrogenic silica or organoclay, without requiring them.

Benefits of SYLOTHIX fibers in your formulation:

• Higher tensile strength
• Improved mechanical properties
• Increased pressure resistance
• Independent of the acid value of the resin
• Lower production costs
• Faster mixing time and easy dispersion
• Limited dust generation

Dosage

Use 1% to 7% of the total weight. For 1 kg of resin, this means 10 to 70 grams of Sylothix.
