- Product Highlights
- RHEOLUXE 811 is a high efficiency polyurethane thickener developed for use in aqueous systems.
- RHEOLUXE 811 is readily dispersible in water and water/organic mixtures. It has been especially designed for use in anhydrous formulations, where water is added at point of use.
- RHEOLUXE 811 is also particularly useful in emulsions and can be used in “cold process” systems. It is a non-ionic thickener, which provides shear thinning viscosity control of the emulsion’s and improves application properties.
- RHEOLUXE 811 is an alternative to traditional cellulose-based, polyacrylic and other urethane thickeners for stabilizing emulsions.
- RHEOLUXE 811 additive is a shear-thinning powder product. RHEOLUXE 811 can be added at any convenient suitable stage during the manufacturing cycle.
- If RHEOLUXE 811 is added to the water phase, it should be mixed until homogenous before adding any other ingredients. Alternately, it can be added at the end of the manufacturing process after emulsion has been formed and cooled.
