ACRYSOL™ RM-3030

ACRYSOL™ RM-3030 Rheology Modifier is a solvent-free1, hydrophobically modified ethylene oxide urethane (HEUR) rheology modifier based on proprietary technology. This ICI-building associative thickener offers formulators efficient ICI contribution with minimal mid-shear rheology response. ACRYSOL™ RM-3030 Rheology Modifier has demonstrated improved syneresis resistance in broad formulation latitude. ACRYSOL™ RM-3030 Rheology Modifier should be added under good mixing conditions to ensure complete incorporation into the formulation.
