ACRYSOL™ RM-5000

ACRYSOL™ RM-5000 Rheology Modifier is a solvent-free1 nonionic associative rheology modifier suitable for both interior and exterior latex paints. It offers a nearly Newtonian viscosity profile that yields a very appealing balance of flow and leveling properties and exceptional film build. What distinguishes ACRYSOL™ RM-5000 Rheology Modifier from other HEUR products is its excellent efficiency in building viscosity in the upper end of the shear spectrum and the ability to furnish truly outstanding flow properties in all types of paints. The exceptional efficiency of ACRYSOL™ RM-5000 Rheology Modifier as much as 20 to 40 percent more effective in generating high-shear (ICI) viscosity in a typical architectural coating formulation can yield major benefits.
