Rheovis® HS 1152

Functions:Thickener, Rheology Modifier, Dispersant
Chemical Family:HASE Thickener, Polyacrylates
Labeling Claims:Heavy Metal-free, Solvent-free, APEO-free, Low VOC
Physical Form:Liquid
End Uses:Waterborne Coating

Rheovis® HS 1152 functions as a rheology modifier and is an outstanding rheology-control agent for water-based coatings. It increases viscosity in the low-shear range and develops a pseudoplastic (shear-thinning) viscosity. The polymer achieves rheology control through extensive swelling of a high-molecular-weight polymer in combination with a hydrophobic component.

Rheovis® HS 1162

Functions:Thickener, Rheology Modifier, Dispersant
Chemical Family:HASE Thickener, Polyacrylates
Labeling Claims:Heavy Metal-free, Solvent-free, APEO-free, Low VOC
Physical Form:Liquid
End Uses:Waterborne Coating

Rheovis® HS 1162 is an outstanding rheology modifier for water-based coatings with an extremely low-shear to thixotropic flow behavior. It provides rheology control through extensive swelling of the high-molecular-weight polymer in combination with a hydrophobic component, resulting in an excellent balance between sag resistance and leveling, making it ideal for airless spray applications or non-dripping paints and stains.

Rheovis® HS 1169

Chemical Family:Polyacrylates, HASE Thickener
Functions:Rheology Modifier, Thickener, Dispersant
Physical Form:Liquid
End Uses:Waterborne Coating

Rheovis® HS 1169 is a rheology modifier. It is a highly efficient, hydrophobic modified acrylic thickener (HASE) with pronounced pseudoplastic (low-shear) flow behavior for many aqueous paint and coating systems. It is especially suited for interior paints, exterior paints, elastomeric coatings, textured finishes, and wood coatings for brush and spray applications. Rheovis® HS 1169 offers performance highlights such as outstanding thickening efficiency and pronounced pseudoplastic (low-shear) flow behavior.

Rheovis® HS 1212

Functions:Thickener, Rheology Modifier, Dispersant
Chemical Family:HASE Thickener, Polyacrylates
Labeling Claims:Heavy Metal-free, Solvent-free, APEO-free, Low VOC
Physical Form:Liquid
End Uses:Waterborne Coating

Rheovis® HS 1212 is a rheology modifier. It is an outstanding rheology-control agent for water-based coatings, increasing viscosity in the mid-shear range. The polymer provides the rheology-control effect through extensive swelling of the high-molecular-weight polymer in combination with a hydrophobic component in alkali, in the presence of water. This leads to superior coatings build-up and low spattering, making it ideal for a broad range of matte to semi-gloss interior and exterior coatings.

Rheovis® HS 1332

Functions:Thickener, Rheology Modifier, Dispersant
Chemical Family:HASE Thickener, Polyacrylates
Labeling Claims:Heavy Metal-free, Solvent-free, APEO-free, Low VOC
Physical Form:Liquid
End Uses:Waterborne Coating

Rheovis® HS 1332 is a rheology modifier. It is an excellent rheology-control agent for water-based coatings, increasing viscosity in the mid- to high-shear range. The polymer provides the rheology-control effect through extensive swelling of the high-molecular-weight polymer in combination with a hydrophobic component. This leads to superior rheology build and low spattering, making it ideal for a broad range of matte to semi-gloss interior and exterior coatings.

Rheovis® PU 1190

Functions:Dispersant, Thickener, Rheology Modifier
Chemical Family:HEUR Thickener
