Rheology Modification
By manipulating factors like viscosity, elasticity, and yield stress, we can tailor a substance’s behavior for specific applications. This control is crucial across industries, from food and cosmetics to paints and pharmaceuticals, enabling optimized product performance and processing. Eurikas is offering a range of amide waxes for use in sealants and coatings.
Key benefits include
Improved viscosity control
- Enhances the flow behavior of sealants and coatings, preventing sagging or dripping.
- Provides shear-thinning properties for better application and leveling.
Enhanced thixotropy
- Helps maintain structure while allowing easy application under force.
- Ensures better stability and uniformity in formulations.
Surface protection & durability
- Enhances scratch and abrasion resistance in coatings.
- Contributes to water repellency and chemical resistance.
Anti-settling & suspension stability
- Prevents pigment and filler sedimentation in coatings and sealants.
- Ensures consistent performance over time.
Eco-friendly & versatile
- Can be used in solvent-based, water-based, and UV-curable systems.
- Often derived from sustainable sources, making them environmentally friendly.

Proud to introduce a new fully bio-based coating
Eurikas is proud to introduce a new fully bio-based coating that can be easily applied on paper and board packaging. This is ideal for avoiding microplastics in the environment because it eliminates the need for synthetic polymers that contribute to microplastic pollution.
