ACRYSOL™ RM-725 Rheology Modifier

What is ACRYSOL™ RM-725 Rheology Modifier?

An APEO-free*, solvent-free*, hydrophobically modified ethylene oxide urethane (HEUR) rheology modifier that utilizes ACID SUPPRESSION™ to produce an excellent balance of properties. ACRYSOL RM-725 builds mid-shear (KU) viscosity while also contributing to high-shear (ICI) viscosity build, allowing for a reduction of high shear thickener usage. It offers formulators an excellent balance of sag resistance and leveling, especially in paints utilizing vinyl acrylic binder technology.

Uses

Efficient KU viscosity build especially, with balanced ICI contribution
Utility with all binder types, especially vinyl-acrylic
In combination with ACRYSOL&trade RM-3030 provides advantages in premium acrylic systems.
