ACRYSOL™ RM-998 is a nonionic hydrophobically modified ethylene oxide urethane (HEUR) rheology modifier used in water-based coating applications.
Benefits:
- Supplied in a low-viscosity liquid form
- It is an APEO and solvent-free
- Provides enhanced viscosity stability upon colorant addition and improved sag resistance in wall paints
- Offers efficient low- to mid-shear viscosity contribution with excellent flow and gloss development
- Enhances hiding performance by improving flow and surface smoothness
- Enables convenient handling and easy incorporation
- Ideal for low-odor, low-VOC applications, delivering excellent finished paint appearance
- Exhibits excellent spatter resistance, broad latex compatibility, and performance across a wide pH range
Typical Applications:
Recommended for use in industrial baking enamels, general industrial finishes, exterior insulation finish systems (EIFS), architectural, interior and exterior latex coating applications. Also ideal for paper finishing and art conservation applications.
