ACRYSOL™ RM-735BF Rheology Modifier

What is ACRYSOL™ RM-735BF Rheology Modifier?

Rheology Modifier biocide-free*, solvent-free†, hydrophobically modified ethylene oxide urethane (HEUR) based on proprietary technology for an excellent balance of properties. ACRYSOL™ RM-735BF is designed as an efficient mid-shear viscosity (KU) builder for a variety of binder chemistries. It also contributes to high shear viscosity, allowing the reduction of ICI builder use level in the paint. It offers good sag resistance with excellent flow and leveling, facilitating outstanding application properties, surface smoothness, and applied hide. It is supplied at low pH.
