Rheology modifiers are essential additives that control viscosity and flow properties of coatings, ensuring optimal performance during production, storage, and application.
Key Functions
Control paint shelf stability
Optimize ease of application
Prevent separation and sedimentation
Enhance flow and leveling properties
Performance Benefits
Improved vertical flow and sag resistance
Enhanced gloss and adhesion
Optimized film thickness and covering power
Better pigment stabilization
Types of Rheology Modifiers
Associative Thickeners
HEUR and HMPE types for excellent flow and sag resistance balance
Non-Associative Thickeners
ASE and HASE types for waterborne coating systems
Specialty Clays
Organoclays and fumed silicas for solvent-based systems
Applications
Production Phase
Optimize flow behavior in mill base and improve processing efficiency
Storage Phase
Prevent separation, sedimentation, and syneresis during in-can storage
Application Phase
Control spraying, brushing, and rolling characteristics for optimal finish
