RHEOLATE® 278
Nonionic synthetic associative thickener (NiSAT) for mid-high shear viscosity builder in waterborne systems
RHEOLATE 278 is a nonionic synthetic associative rheology modifier and 25 % solution designed for use in paints containing small-particle-size emulsions and high-volume-solids systems. RHEOLATE 278 is an additive with superior thickening efficiency in the high-shear range (ICI viscosity) – beyond that of other thickeners. Emulsion paints with various ICI viscosities can be formulated by combining RHEOLATE 255 and RHEOLATE 278 or other rheological additives.
