RHEOLATE® 278 TF

Nonionic Synthetic Associative Polyurethane-Based Thickener for Latex Paints

RHEOLATE 278 TF is a nonionic synthetic associative rheology modifier and 25 % dispersion designed for use in paints containing small-particle-size latexes and high-volume-solids systems.

RHEOLATE 278 TF is an additive with superior thickening efficiency in the high-shear range (ICI viscosity) – beyond that of other thickeners.

Latex paints with various ICI viscosities can be formulated by combining RHEOLATE 255 and RHEOLATE 278 TF or other rheological additives. RHEOLATE 278 TF is APE free and tin-free.
