ACRYSOL™ RM-3000

ACRYSOL™ RM-3000 Rheology Modifier offers a viscosity versus shear rate profile that is highly Newtonian. This characteristic makes it very useful for building ICI, particularly in high volume solids and/or small particle size latex formulations. The ICI efficiency of ACRYSOL™ RM-3000Rheology Modifier is greater than that of ACRYSOL™ RM-3000 Rheology Modifier, but less than ACRYSOL™ RM-3000 The Newtonian rheology that ACRYSOL™ RM-3000 offers is particularly useful for obtaining excellent flow in high-ICI formulations. ACRYSOL™ RM-3000 Rheology Modifier is of the nonionic, hydrophobically-modified ethylene-oxide urethane (HEUR) type, and is manufactured without the use of solvents or APEO surfactants.
