RHEOLATE® 250

RHEOLATE® 250 by Elementis is 14% solids, non-ionic synthetic associative thickener. It is designed for use in interior and exterior latex paints and other waterborne systems including coatings & inks. It is optimized for medium shear-rate applications and provides high thickening efficiency with optimized flow and substrate wetting.

• It can be used alone with small particle size latex systems or in combination with a co-thickener such as RHEOLATE® HX 6010 or RHEOLATE® 212 if a more newtonian shear rate profile are desired.
• It shows efficient mid-shear (KU) rheology modifier, shear thinning viscosity profile and reduced spattering during roller application.
• It provides superior spatter resistance, good color acceptance and pourable liquid for easy addition.
• It is bio-stable and pH independent grade.
• It is compatible with other thickeners.
• It does not detract from gloss or wet adhesion.
• Recommended dosage level is 0.5% to 3% (thickener solids weight) on total system weight.
• RHEOLATE® 250 has a shelf life of 2 years.
