RHEOLATE CVS® -16 by Elementis is 15% active solids, low to mid shear, non-ionic synthetic associative thickener (NiSAT) and color viscosity stabilizer for aqueous applications. It minimizes KU viscosity drop (by up to 45%) in tinted coatings, ensuring excellent color acceptance and consistent application properties with no negative impact on leveling for low- and zero-VOC paints. It is an environmentally friendly, APEO-, VOC- and tin-free product available as a pourable and pumpable liquid .

• It offers viscosity retention in paint formulations during point-of-sale and in-plant tinting, while enhancing color performance such as improved color float resistance and superior color rub-up performance.
