RHEOLATE^® 310 D

RHEOLATE 310 D is a low-odor and VOC-free polyether polyol-based associative thickener for use in conventional latex and water-reducible systems.

RHEOLATE 310 D is especially suited for low- and VOC-free formulations and represents an alternative to traditional urethane-based thickeners. 

It is a non-ionic associative thickener designed to improve colour acceptance and stability, provide flow and levelling and overcome ancillary applications deficiencies by not impairing 

recoatability, intercoat adhesion and blocking resistance.

RHEOLATE 310 D raises viscosity mainly in the medium- to high-shear-rate region. Additionally, it imparts low-shear-rate viscosity, enhancing syneresis control, sag resistance and suspension. 

This reduces the need to use a co-thickener for low-shear-rate viscosity stability.
