RHEOLATE® FX 1010

Associative thickening agent developed for use in aqueous emulsion paints based on polyacrylic-, polyvinyl-acetate homopolymers and most terpolymers. It is highly recommended for architectural-, car OEM-, car refinish-, general industrial-, marine protective-, plastic-, wood-, concrete- & leather coatings and inks. It is recommended for roof coatings. It is a highly efficient polyether polyurethane polymer in a mixture of solvents. Shelf life: 3 years.Benefits:It improves the anti-settling & sag resistance by increasing the mid and low shear viscosityIt offers a higher degree of water resistance & gloss levels and increased scrub resistanceReduces roller spatteringImproves weathering

RHEOLATE® FX 1070

Associative no-VOC thickening agent suitable for aqueous coatings based on polymeric dispersions and alkyd- & hybrid emulsions. It is highly recommended for architectural-, car OEM-, car refinish-, general industrial-, marine protective-, plastic-, wood- & concrete coatings and inks. It is a hydrophobic urethane polymer in water. Shelf life: 3 years.Benefits:It increases the high-shear viscosity, resulting in a nearly Newtonian flow behavior for e.g. dispersion paintsIt improves film-build, brushing characteristics, edge covering and appearance It forms strong associations with the surface of the polymeric binder particlesLess sensitive to hydrolysis

RHEOLATE® FX 1080

Associative thickening agent designed for use in aqueous emulsion paints based on polyacrylic-, polyvinyl-acetate homopolymers and most terpolymers. It is highly recommended for architectural-, general industrial- and concrete coatings. It is a very low VOC, highly efficient, high active content polyether polyurethane polymer in a mixture of solvents. Shelf life: 3 years.Benefits:It improves the anti-settling and sag resistance by increasing the mid and low shear viscosityCompatible with the standard latexes used in emulsion paintsIt offers a higher degree of water resistance and increased scrub resistance Reduces roller spattering

RHEOLATE® FX 1100

Thickening agent developed for use in aqueous systems and powdered formulations. It can be used in NO-VOC & low odor systems.
