Supplied byBASF- Last Updated on Jun 29, 2026

Rheovis® PU 1193 by BASF is a polyurethane-based rheology modifier. It is designed to enhance sag resistance, leveling and application performance in aqueous spray coatings.
  • It is used for water-based spray applications, including clear coats, high-gloss top coatings, anti-corrosive paints, and thick-layer systems.
  • It is designed to outperform older pseudoplastic thickeners by offering stronger low shear thickening and easy incorporation.
  • It is suitable for applications requiring excellent sag resistance, smooth flow, and high gloss with no loss in opacity.
  • Rheovis® PU 1193 offers benchmark low-shear efficiency and an extremely pseudoplastic rheological profile.
  • It provides easy handling due to its free-flowing nature at room temperature.
  • It enhances block resistance, especially in formulations using PU 1193.
  • It is APEO-, tin- and biocide-free.
  • Recommended dosage level is 0.2-1.0% on total formulation.
