BENAQUA® 4010

Rheological Additive for water-borne systems

BENAQUA® 4010 rheological additive is an easily dispersible powder designed for lower-gloss and matt latex paints, textured and high-build coatings and water-borne adhesives. It is especially useful in systems that are diluted with water prior to use.

BENAQUA® 4010 influence on low- and mid-shear-viscosity and fast viscosity/ structure recovery in combination with suspension control resulting in storage stability (anti-sedimentation), film-thickness control (slump resistance) for textured and high-built systems, adhesive, sealants and construction systems. Partial replacement of cellulosic for less "stickiness" leading to improved application feel and stable slump resistance.
