RHEOLATE 125

RHEOLATE® 125 is a cost-effective rheological additive with high thickening efficiency in the low to medium-shear-rate range. It is an alkali swellable emulsion based on an acrylic backbone. It possesses high shear properties which provides very good atomization. Provides high viscosity at low-shear-rate, good anti-settling properties and good impact resistance. It retains high gloss levels and reduces paint preparation time. Exhibits easy incorporation and compatibility with other common thickeners. RHEOLATE® 125 is suitable for a wide range of waterborne paints based on systems including industrial water reducible alkyds, industrial acrylics, wood-, metallic- and non-metallic industrial coatings. The typical use level is 0.6-2.0% by weight in paints and inks.
