SylvagelTM Industrial Gellants

 
SylvagelTM Industrial Gellants
industrial gellant

Arizona's Sylvagel specialty gellants are low met viscosity polymers designed to effectively gel a wide range of solvents.

Sylvagel 5000/6000 gellants form gels with many non-polar solvents. Sylvagel 1000 was designed to gel more polar solvents. Typical solvents gelled are listed below. These resins offer controllable rheology in the final formulation, ranging from thixotropic gels to wax-like solids. This flexibility allows a wide range of gels that can be formulated to meet your most demanding product needs.

Our Sylvagel gellants can be used in a variety of industrial applications, including insecticides, pesticides, adhesives, paints and coatings, cleaners, paint strippers, creams and polishes, lubricants and other products that could benefit from solvent gelation.

Sylvagel resins can also be used to enhance or replace specialty waxes in a variety of consumer and industrial applications.


Gelation Capabilities

Typical solvents gelled with Sylvagel 5000/6000 gellants include 1-heptanol, styrene, toluene, 2-octanone, xylene, hexyl acetate, d-limonene, crude oil, mineral oil, mineral spirits, castor oil, diglycerides, triglycerides and 2-ethyl hexyl benzoate.

Typical solvents gelled with Sylvagel 1000 gellant include propylene carbonate, butylene carbonate, n-methyl pyrrolidone, methylene chloride, dibasic esters, bispheno-A (epoxy resin), acrylate monomers (e.g., TMPTA, TPGDA, acrylate esters), ethylene glycol, propylene glycol and dipropylene glycol.
