Coatings, Inks & Construction

RHEOLATE® 425

Rheological additive designed for gloss, semi-gloss & matt latex paints and waterborne inks. It is also used in industrial coatings, vinyl chloride latices, water-reducible/polyester, epoxy, acrylics and urethanes. It is highly recommended for architectural- & leather coatings. It is recommended for car OEM-, car refinish-, plastic- & wood- coatings. It is a hydrophobically modified alkali swellable thickener. Shelf life: 2 years.Benefits:NPE-freeIt provides a high thickening efficiency in the medium shear rate range Excellent balance between sag resistance and leveling propertiesImparts anti-settling properties and reduces syneresis Provides easy brushability and improves roller application hiding power

RHEOLATE® 450

Hydrophobically modified alkali-soluble emulsion thickener for latex paints and other water-based systems. Suitable for high PVC architectural, low odor & low VOC and premium interior & exterior deco coatings. Recommended for high gloss & semi-gloss emulsion and matte latex paints and contractor & trade paint systems. It can be suggested for water reducible & emulsion systems and industrial coatings like coil & roller applied coatings. It can be used for industrial maintenance, vacuum & curtain coatings and to re-thicken biologically spoiled coatings. Shelf life: 1.5 years. Benefits:Demonstrates both ionic and associative thickening mechanismsOffers mid and high shear rate viscosityProvides enzyme resistance, improved moisture resistance & hiding on roll-out and reduces syneresisShows very good brush drag, spatter resistance, flow & leveling and color acceptance
