Features & Benefits
- Product Highlights
- Low VOC
- Contributes to excellent sag resistance
- Excellent shelf stability
- Liquid, ready-for-use: thus optimal workability
- Neutral and stable in modest alkaline and acidic systems
- Good flow, gloss and atomization for spray application
- Designed to be used in Architectural, industrial and protective waterborne coatings and waterborne Clear coats.
- Properties
- PAT-ADD RHEOL 125P ensures optimal rheological properties of dispersion paints. Association onto polymer binder surface as well as interaction between micelles, as formed by dissolved PAT-ADD RHEOL 125P molecules, supporting the formation of a network and viscosity increase. Therefore, highest thickening efficiency is obtained in polymer dispersion paint systems.
- Compared to other representatives of the line of associative thickeners (like Pat-Add RHEOL 100), this Pat-Add RHEOL 125P provides higher Stormier viscosity to the system, which contributes to improved anti-sag and anti-settling characteristics.The product is used as the sole thickener in low to high PVC paints. However, the product has shown excellent compatibility with both organic as well as inorganic rheology modifiers.
Applications & Uses

- Application Method
- Coating Type
- Dosage & Addition
- The optimal amount of PAT-ADD RHEOL 125P to be used is system related, but generally is between 0.5 and 2.0% PAT-ADD RHEOL 125P, calculated on the total weight of paint formulation.
- The product is best added during the let-down stage; however, partial addition to the mill base may be considered. The optimum concentration to be used depends on the individual requirements and conditions and is recommended to be determined experimentally.
- End Use Application
PAT-ADD RHEOL 125P provides excellent anti-settling and anti-sagging properties and reduces the risk of roller spattering during application. PAT-ADD RHEOL 125P is recommended for any emulsion paints for interior and exterior applications based on pure acrylic or copolymer binders.
