RHEOLATE® 212

RHEOLATE® 212 by Elementis is 20% solids, VOC-free polyether polyurethane associative rheology modifier. It shows more efficient high-shear viscosity development and improved flow and levelling properties.

• It can be used alone with small particle size latex systems or in combination with a co-thickener such as RHEOLATE® 655 or RHEOLATE® 666 if higher mid-shear (package) viscosity is required.
• It shows more efficient high-shear viscosity development and improved flow and levelling properties.
• It provides superior spatter resistance, good color acceptance and pourable liquid for easy addition.
• It is bio-stable and pH independent grade.
• It is compatible with other thickeners.
• It does not detract from gloss or wet adhesion.
• Designed for use in high quality, low VOC latex paints, high- & semi-gloss interior and exterior latex paints and other waterborne alkyd latex paints, inks and textile coatings where maintaining viscosity at high shear during product application and improved film levelling are required.
• Recommended dosage level is 0.5% to 5% (thickener solids weight) on total system weight.
• RHEOLATE® 212 has a shelf life of 2 years.
