TEGO® Glide 130 shows a very good anti-crater effect in solventborne coatings.

ACRYSOL™ RM-2020 is a non-ionic urethane rheology modifier, providing high shear viscosity. It is specifically designed for applications where a low odour or low VOC is required. It can be used either alone or in combination with thickeners effective in the low shear range to reach the desired rheological profile. ACRYSOL™ RM-2020 Rheology Modifier allows formulations with a Newtonian rheology profile combined with excellent water and alkali resistance.

TEGO® Glide 466 shows an excellent anti-crater effect on contaminated substrates. It is very effective and can be used in a broad range of different coatings.

ACRYSOL™ G-111 is an ammonia neutralized poly-acrylate solution polymer recommended for thickening and stabilizing water based synthetic and natural latexes. It produces thickened latexes of a smooth and consistent texture and is insensitive to sodium, calcium, and magnesium ions.

TEGO® Glide 450 provides excellent flow and leveling combined with strong slip properties. It is recoatable and can be used in solvent and waterborne coatings.

CRAYVALLAC® PA3 XAF 20 is an alcohol-free pre-activated amide wax supplied in xylene. It is a rheology modifier in paste form with high efficiency (optimum sag resistance and viscosity).CRAYVALLAC® PA3 XAF 20 is supplied in the form of crystalline fibres. In a coating system, these fibres form an interacting network. This network gives rise to the shear thinning rheology of the final coating. This shear thinning characteristic provides a very high viscosity under the low shear rates associated with sedimentation, and a low viscosity at the much higher application shear rates. The net result is excellent control of sedimentation combined with ease of application.

TEGO®Flow 375 is a silicone-free acrylic leveling agent. It offers excellent compatibility and good flow promotion. It is highly recommended for solventborne clear coatings.

ACRYSOL™ ASE-60 Alkali Soluble Anionic Thickener is an acid containing, acrylic emulsion copolymer. As such, when the emulsion is diluted with water and neutralized with a base, the polymer becomes soluble. Under these conditions, the emulsion clarifies and becomes highly viscous. ACRYSOL™ ASE-60 Thickener is effective at increasing low shear rate (Brookfield) viscosity, resulting in coatings that have highly shear thinning characteristics.

ACRYSOL™ RM-7 Rheology Modifier is a remarkably versatile hydrophobically modified alkali-soluble emulsion (HASE) thickening agent for latex coatings. Like other HASE modifiers, ACRYSOL™ RM-7 Rheology Modifier offers a nearly Newtonian rheology profile with lower viscosity in low-shear conditions and higher viscosity in high-shear conditions than cellulosic thickeners deliver. As a result, it can produce paints with a very desirable combination of good flow/leveling and film build properties. ACRYSOL™ RM-7 Rheology Modifier is distinguished by a capacity to generate high-shear viscosity very efficiently, a feature that makes it exceptionally well suited to use with all acrylic emulsions, being developed for low-VOC, non flat waterborne paints.

TEGO® Flow 380 is a silicone-free acrylic leveling agent and shows good compatibility and flow promotion with additional anti-popping properties. It is highly recommended for solvent borne coatings, especially clear coatings.

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.

CRAYVALLAC® LA-150 is a new pourable liquid rheology modifier supplied in Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) for post addition to solvent based systems.CRAYVALLAC® LA-150 is a post-addition rheology modifier composed of a modified urea dissolved in DMSO. When added to the final system, the DMSO is diluted and the modified urea crystallizes out as very fine fibres which build into a three-dimensional interacting network. It is this network that gives rise to the system’s shear thinning rheology and time dependent viscosity recovery. The result is excellent control of sedimentation combined with ease of application. Immediately following application, where low shear conditions again predominate, the system’s viscosity undergoes a time dependent recovery as the network re-establishes itself. This time dependency is known as thixotropy and enables the final system to attain very good levelling.

TEGO® Glide 432 shows very good slip and substrate wetting properties. It is highly recommended for radiation-curable coatings.
