Aquaflow™ NMS-450

Supplied byAshland- Last Updated on May 26, 2026

Aquaflow™ NMS-450 by Ashland is a nonionic synthetic associative thickener based on hydrophobically modified polyether grade free of APEO. It is a solvent-free. It has been optimized for "mid-shear" performance and is designed to provide a balance of Stormer (KU) viscosity along with high-shear (ICI) viscosity build. Aquaflow™ NMS-450 will function as a sole thickener in many architectural paint formulations based on hydrophobic resin systems, such as acrylics and styrene acrylics. In more hydrophilic resins systems, such as vinyl acetate ethylene (VAE), optimized rheology may be achieved alone or in combination with a supplemental KU driver.
