Types of Paint and Coating Thickeners
Thickeners are classified based on their chemical composition and mechanism of action. The major types include:

Cellulose-based Thickeners – Derived from natural sources, these thickeners offer excellent water retention and stability. They are widely used in water-based coatings.

Synthetic Polymer Thickeners – These include acrylic thickeners, polyurethane thickeners, and polyacrylamide thickeners, known for their high efficiency and compatibility with various coatings.

Associative Thickeners – These thickeners work by forming temporary networks in the coating system, providing controlled viscosity and improved flow properties.

Inorganic Thickeners – Such as fumed silica and clays, these are used to enhance the rheological properties of solvent-based coatings.
