This contribution addresses the use and application of thickeners in water-borne paints.Examples of successfully used types of thickeners are the cellulose and PUR-thickeners. Specific compositions, features and benefits of both types are explained in detail. }, number={5}, journal={CHIMIA}, author={Bieleman, Johan H.}, year={2002}, month={May}, pages={163} }
