ACRYSOL™ RM-995

ACRYSOL™ RM-995 offers both enhanced viscosity stability to colorant addition and improved sag resistance to broad-wall paints. ACRYSOL™ RM-995 is a solvent-free (Manufactured without added solvent), hydrophobically modified ethylene oxide urethane (HEUR) rheology modifier based on proprietary technology. This KU-builder rheology modifier offers the properties that HEUR technology is known for, e.g., excellent flow, gloss development and applicability both interior and exterior, with improved performance in viscosity stability upon tinting and excellent sag resistance.
