ACRYSOL™ RM-6000

ACRYSOL™ RM-6000 Rheology Modifier is a non-ionic urethane rheology modifier based on solvent-free1 technology offering improved efficiency without sacrificing key performance properties. The efficiency in both the medium shear and high shear range results in good flow and leveling with high film build while maintaining good sag resistance. ACRYSOL™ RM- 6000 Rheology Modifier has demonstrated utility in a broad range of emulsions, including the “newer generation”, low-VOC types such as RHOPLEX™ SG-30 Acrylic Emulsion and RHOPLEX™ ML-300 Acrylic Emulsion.

Applications
Product Applications
  • ACRYSOL™ RM-6000 Rheology Modifier offers a distinct rheology profile and can replace traditional combinations of medium- and high-shear urethane rheology modifiers. Depending on the formulation, the rheology modifier dosage can be reduced up to 40%.
  • ACRYSOL™ RM-6000 Rheology Modifier is recommended in a wide range of sheen through high gloss paints. It can be used either alone or in combination with other thickeners, including ACRYSOL™ RM-5000 Rheology Modifier, to help improve application properties such as sag resistance and brush-and roller-loading.
