RHEOLATE® 255

Nonionic synthetic associative thickener (NiSAT) for Mid Shear-Rate Viscosity Build in waterborne systems

RHEOLATE 255 is a 25 % solution designed for use in conventional latex systems.

RHEOLATE 255 is an additive with a high thickening effect in the medium-shear range (Stormer viscosity, Krebs Units). Latex paints with various high-shear viscosities (ICI viscosity) can be formulated by combining RHEOLATE 255 with either RHEOLATE 278 or RHEOLATE 212.
