RHEOLATE® 425

RHEOLATE® 425 by Elementis acts as an economical and versatile rheological additive (thickener) for waterborne systems. It is NPE-free, hydrophobically modified alkali swellable emulsion. It provides high thickening efficiency in medium shear rate range and very good balance between sag resistance and leveling properties.

• It gives high shear rate viscosity and great brush drag.
• It offers thixotropic rheology, package viscosity, anti-settling properties, excellent spray properties, good block resistance and compatibility with clay-based, cellulosic and associative thickeners.
• It reduces syneresis, spattering during roller application and early blistering in acrylic systems.
• It improves roller application hiding power & freeze/thaw stability and maintains good levels.
• RHEOLATE® 425 is used for applications like gloss, semi-gloss and matt latex paints, industrial coatings, vinyl chloride emulsions, water-reducible/polyester, epoxy, acrylics, urethanes and others, and inks.
• It has a shelf life of 2 years.
