RHEOLATE® 101
Alkali-Swellable Acrylic Associative Thickener in 100 % Active Powder Form for Latex paints and other Aqueous Systems
RHEOLATE® 101 rheological additive is an economical and versatile product in powder form for a variety of water-borne systems.
RHEOLATE® 101 rheological additive is chemically identical to the active component in RHEOLATE® 1 rheological additive. Its dry powder form is easier to store and is non-freezing.
RHEOLATE® 101 is easily incorporated dry as a powder in the mill-base or as a pregel in water.
RHEOLATE® 101 rheological additive is an additive with a high thickening efficiency in the medium-shear-rate range and imparts excellent pigment suspension properties. Unlike other acrylic thickeners, RHEOLATE® 101 does not impair gloss.
