RHEOLATE^® 150

RHEOLATE 150 rheological additive is a cost effective and versatile alkali swellable thickener in an easy to use emulsion form designed to provide excellent low shear viscosity build. It is very cost effective in medium to high PVC formulations.

RHEOLATE 150 can be used alone or in combination with other rheological modifiers, e.g. HEC or PU thickeners to achieve the desired rheological performance. It imparts good sag and spatter resistance along with improved leveling and syneresis control and good color acceptance.

Key properties

• Provides high viscosity at low shear rates
• Provides excellent sag and anti-settling resistance
• Reduces syneresis
• Reduces spattering during roller application
• Demonstrates excellent color acceptance
• Shows similar dilution behavior to HEC in most paint formulations
• Is APEO (alkyl phenol ethoxylate) free and solvent free
• Has low viscosity and is easy to incorporate
