Product Applications
  • ACRYSOL™ RM-2020 NPR Rheology modifier is particularly suited to be used with a KU efficient rheology modifier such as ACRYSOL™ RM-12W or ACRYSOL™ RM-8W to reach a desired balance of high and low shear viscosity in flat through gloss formulations.
  • When used in combination with small particle size hydrophobic binders in high gloss through semigloss acrylic paints, ACRYSOL™ RM-2020 NPR can be used as a sole thickener.
  • ACRYSOL™ RM-2020 NPR Rheology Modifier is supplied as a low viscosity liquid that can be diluted with water if desired.
