RHEOBYK® -410

RHEOBYK®-410 by BYK is a liquid rheology additive for medium-polarity PVC plastisols and ambient-curing resin systems. It creates highly thixotropic flow behavior and consequently improves the anti-sagging and anti-settling properties. This additive minimizes flooding and floating in pigmented plastisols and improves the control of the coating profile in the gelling oven. Foam stability is increased in mechanically frothed PVC foams. RHEOBYK®-410 is highly suited for preventing sedimentation in filled, reactive casting resin systems such as epoxy, polyurethane and acrylate resins, and also in some polyester resins. Generally, it only increases the viscosity at low shear rates and improves the deaerating properties of the system. The recommended level is 0.2-1% additive (as supplied) based on the total formulation to prevent settling and 0.5-2% additive (as supplied) based on the total formulation to increase the anti-sagging properties. It is listed in EINECS, TSCA, DSL, AICS, PICCS, IECSC, ENCS, NZIoC and ECSI. It is in line with Directive 2011/65/EU (EU RoHS 2), as amended by the Delegated Directive (EU) 2015/863 (EU RoHS 3), EU Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE), EU Directive 94/62/EC (Packaging Waste), CONEG Toxics in Packaging. It complies with REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. The shelf life of this product is 24 months.
