• Provides high-shear viscosity for improved brush drag, hiding power, excellent spatter resistance, and enhanced brush loading and roller transfer
• It is easy to handle and incorporate
• Builds efficient mid-shear (KU) and high-shear (ICI) viscosity
• Offers excellent resistance to microbial attack
• Delivers good paint stability, consistency, and low viscosity
• Supports a wide range of sheen levels, including high-gloss paints and low-VOC formulations
• Also offers an excellent balance between performance and cost
