ACRYSOL™ RM-725

ACRYSOL™ RM-725 Rheology Modifier is a solvent-free, hydrophobically modified ethylene oxide urethane (HEUR) based on proprietary technology for an excellent balance of properties. ACRYSOL™ RM-725 Rheology Modifier is designed as a universal, efficient mid shear viscosity builder with all binder types that are used for interior wall paints as well as exterior systems for wood, trim stains and masonry. This KU-building associative thickener offers formulators an excellent balance of sag resistance and leveling, including PVA and VAE binder based paints. ACRYSOL™ RM-725 Rheology Modifier also contributes significant to high shear viscosity, allowing the reduction of ICI builder use level in the paint.

Applications
Product Applications
  • ACRYSOL™ RM-725 Rheology Modifier should be added under good mixing conditions to ensure complete incorporation into the formulation.
  • ACRYSOL™ RM-725 Rheology Modifier is supplied at low pH and, therefore, may slightly lower the pH of the paint formulation.
  • Small amounts of extra base may need to be added to the paint formulation to ensure the final pH target is reached.
