ACRYSOL™ RM-845 Rheology Modifier
It is an APEO-free, solvent-free, hydrophobically modified ethylene oxide urethane (HEUR) rheology modifier that utilizes ACID SUPPRESSION™ to produce an excellent balance of properties. This offers excellent flow and leveling, as well as gloss development, for both interior and exterior paints. It imparts a rheological profile to architectural and industrial coatings very similar to that of ACRYSOL™ RM-825 Rheology Modifier, but with the benefit of no added solvent, allowing for ultra-low VOC formulations.
Uses:
- Interior and exterior paints
- Wide range of sheen through high gloss paints, including low-VOC formulations
- Water-based architectural and industrial coatings
- Utility with all binder types
- Additive Applications
- Exterior Insulation Finish Systems (EIFS)
- Paint/coatings
- Paper
- Textiles
- Paper processing and finishing
- Building and Construction
- Nonwoven binders
- General industrial finishes
- Art conservation applications
- Water-based industrial baking enamels
Benefits:
- Broad formulation latitude
- Ease of handling
- Use over a wide pH range
- Reduced levels required for comparable rheology
- Improved gloss development versus HEC
- Most offerings ideal for low VOC formulations
- Product offerings across different sheer ranges
- Excellent spatter resistance
- Broad latex compatibility
- APEO Free*
*made without APEO-containing surfactant
