RHEOLATE® 666 IF

Polyether urea polyurethane associative (HEUR) thickener and rheological additive for low VOC formulations. It is used in waterborne dispersions, spray-applied industrial coatings, and interior & exterior-, satin-gloss & gloss latex paints. It is also used in water-reducible paints and inks. Shelf life: 2 years.Benefits:It is free from solvent, APE, tin, isothiazolinone and biocides (MIT, BIT or CIT)It is low odor, pH-independent and easy to incorporateProvides viscosity at low (Stormer, KU) and medium-shear ratesOffers effective flow and levelling controlExhibits broad formulating flexibility and excellent spray characteristicsIt can be combined with traditional additives, such as clays, cellulosic or acrylic thickenersListed in TSCA, EINECS, REACH, DSL, ENCS, PICCS, KECL, IECSC, AICIS, NZIoC and TCSI inventories

TEGO® WET 270 ECO

TEGO® WET 270 ECO is a substrate wetting agent suitable for waterborne, solvent-borne, 2-pack 100%, pigmented coating, and clear coating systems. It is partially suitable for radiation curing systems. Shelf life: 60 months.Benefits:It is highly active and broadly usableBased on polyether siloxane technologyExhibits 53% renewable mass balance contentEnables efficient crater prevention and eliminationReplaces fossil by circular raw materials by applying mass balance approachOffers same performance as TEGO® WET 270 with reduced carbon emissionProvides high flow promotion and excellent reduction of static surface tensionDelivers moderate defoaming performance and a slight reduction of dynamic surface tensionTypical Applications:Recommended for wood coatings and architectural paint applications. It is also suitable for high solid and general industrial coatings.

RHEOLATE® CVS-16

RHEOLATE® CVS-16 is a nonionic synthetic associative thickener recommended for architectural paints. It is a next-generation color viscosity stabilizer. Shelf life: 24 months.Benefits:Efficient low to mid-shear thickener (NiSAT)It is 15% active solid, pourable and pumpable liquidShows excellent efficiency and color compatibility with most latex resins systemsEnhances viscosity stability after tinting while preserving leveling performance in low- and zero-VOC paint formulationsIt can be combined with traditional additives, such as clays, cellulosic or acrylic thickenersProvides an excellent balance of sag resistance and leveling, outstanding color properties, and good storage stabilityDelivers superior color performance with enhanced color float resistance and improved color rub-up propertiesOffers excellent viscosity retention in paint formulations during point-of-sale and in-plant color tintingEnvironmentally friendly, APEO-, VOC and tin-freeISO 9001 certifiedTypical Applications:Suitable for water-based systems. It is used in decorative coatings, interior and exterior wall paints.

BENTONE® 30

Rheological additive suitable for low to intermediate polarity organic systems. It is used in anti-corrosive paints, high-build systems, industrial finishes, interior & exterior house paints, do-it-yourself- & road marking paints, primers, undercoats and fillers. Benefits:Prevents pigment settling during storage and syneresis in thixotropic systemsIt increases viscosity and provides thixotropy It improves flow and leveling Controls sagging on vertical surfaces and penetration on porous substrates

BENTONE® 38

Highly efficient rheological additive designed for low to intermediate polarity organic systems. It is used in aerosol- & anti-corrosive paints, automotive finishes, primers, interior and exterior house paints, plastisols and organosols. It is ideal for trichlorethylene dip coatings, water-reducible systems and wood stains. It is highly recommended for decorative long-oil alkyds, can-, car OEM-, coil-, marine protective coatings & inks and recommended for plastic coating. It is an organic derivative of a hectorite clay. Shelf life: 4 years.Benefits:Prevents pigment settling during storage and syneresis in thixotropic systemsIt increases viscosity and provides thixotropy It improves flow and leveling Controls sagging on vertical surfaces and penetration on porous substrates

BENTONE® EW

Rheological additive suitable for water-borne systems and corrosion-inhibitive primers. It is used in electrodeposition- & paper coatings, latex paints and foundry paints/foundry resins (washes). It is highly recommended for architectural-, can, car OEM, car refinish, coil, general industrial, marine protective, plastics, leather & wood coatings. It is also highly recommended for asphalt construction emulsion, inks, plaster/stucco and recommended for high PVC systems. Shelf life: 4 years. Benefits:It provides thermostable aqueous phase viscosity control and imparts thixotropy Enhances texturing and stippling effectsIt improves workability/application of plasters and promotes fast water releaseIt prevents hard settlement of pigments/fillers
