RHEOLATE® HX 6030

RHEOLATE® HX 6030 by Elementis is a non-ionic associative thickener (NiSAT) designed for waterborne systems. It is a VOC-, APEO-, and tin-free polyurethane solution offering high thickening efficiency without compromising application performance.

• It provides excellent sag resistance, flow and leveling due to its balanced Newtonian rheology profile, making it ideal for use in coatings ranging from low sheen to high gloss enamels.
• It can replace conventional medium to high shear rheology modifiers and is compatible with various resin chemistries.
• It can be used alone or in combination with other thickeners to optimize brush and roller application properties.
• It is a pourable and pumpable liquid, offering low odor and good storage stability.
• RHEOLATE® HX 6030 does not detract from gloss or wet adhesion and performs well across a broad pH range.
• It has stronger association in smaller particle size resin and is compatible with most water-based resin systems.
• It exhibits excellent compatibility with other associative rheological additives, clay-based thickeners, or cellulosic thickeners for desired rheology.
• It is suitable for use in water-based systems including premium zero- to low-VOC and conventional latex paints, inks and textile coatings.
• It has a shelf life of 24 months and recommended usage level is 1.5% to 2.5% on total paint weight.
