5.1 Viscosity increase
5.1.1Testing method
ADEKA’s own formulated white paint is used and the same evaluation as above is made.
White paint formulation (wt):
Materials Ratio Type, Supplier
Water 9.99
Sodium tripolyphosphate 0.5
ADEKA COL W-193 0.5 Dispersing agent (ADEKA)
TiO2 28.67 TCR-10 (Tochem)
ADEKA NATE B-1015 0.40 Defoamer (ADEKA)
Total Pigment paste 40.06
Emulsion for semi gloss paint 53.25
Texanol 2.60 CS-12 Chisso petro chem
Propylene glycol 3.80 ADEKA
Ammonia solution (28 %) 0.10
ADEKANATE B-1015 0.19 Defoaming agent
Total 100
Test formulation (% wt): 100 % white semi gloss paint
Thickener: appropriate amount (0-1.0 % as solution)
Test thickeners: ADEKA NOL UH-450VF
ADEKA NOL UH-450
ADEKA NOL UH-420
R-82 (obtained from the market)

leveling flow
similar to UH-450
and UH-420.
5.2 Pigment compatibility
5.2.1 Testing method
The thickener is stirred into the white paint and then a colored pigment paste is added. After one
night at 25oC the paint is applied on an art-paper and one corner is rubbed with the fingers. After
drying, the color difference is compared between the rubbed area and the un rubbed area.
Test pigment and formulation:
Pigment FLTR manufactured by Dainichi Seika (Black paste)
Paint original 100
Thickener appropriate amount to get 3,000 – 5,000 mPa?s viscosity in the paint
Pigment (black) 4
