RHEOLATE® FX 1010

RHEOLATE® FX 1010 by Elementis is a polyether polyurethane-based high-efficiency associative thickener. It also acts as a binding agent. It improves the anti-settling and sag resistance of aqueous paints by increasing the mid and low shear viscosity.

• It provides long-term viscosity stability and is less sensitive to hydrolysis.
• Offers improved weathering and decreased water sensitivity.
• It shows compatibility with standard latexes used in emulsion paints.
• It provides high water resistance and increased scrub resistance.
• It exhibits improved flow and very good gloss performance.
• It possesses very good resistance to bacterial degradation.
• Also improves long-term viscosity stability and reduces roller spattering.
• RHEOLATE® FX 1010 is designed for aqueous systems such as emulsion and dispersion paints based on polyacrylic and polyvinyl acetate homopolymers and terpolymers.
• It is suitable for use in gloss and matte finishes.
• Recommended dosage level is 0.2-2%.
• It has a shelf life of 3 years from the date of manufacture.
