Rheovis HS 1162 is an outstanding rheology modifier with the following product features:

Exceptional Thickening Performance:

It is an extreme low-shear to thixotropic thickener, which means it can significantly increase the viscosity of aqueous coatings even at low shear rates. This is highly beneficial for formulating coatings that require good sag resistance and leveling properties. It helps to prevent the coating from running or sagging during application, ensuring a uniform and smooth coating film.

Rheology Control Precision:

Offers precise control over the rheological properties of the formulation. It can adjust the flow behavior of the coating to meet specific application requirements, such as sprayability, brushability, or rollability. This allows for easy application and ensures consistent performance during the coating process.

Good Compatibility:

Exhibits excellent compatibility with a wide range of aqueous coating systems, including various resins, pigments, and additives. It can be easily incorporated into different formulations without causing compatibility issues or negatively affecting the stability of the coating. This makes it a versatile option for formulators to use in different coating applications.

Stability Enhancement:

Helps to enhance the stability of the coating formulation. It can prevent the separation of components, such as pigment settling or resin phase separation, over an extended period. This ensures the quality and performance of the coating remain consistent during storage and transportation.

Temperature Resistance:

Performs well over a wide temperature range, maintaining its thickening and rheology control capabilities even in different temperature conditions. This is important for coatings that are applied in environments with varying temperatures, ensuring the coating's rheological properties remain stable and reliable.

Improved Film Formation:

Contributes to improved film formation of the coating. By controlling the rheology of the formulation, it allows for better wetting of the substrate and promotes the formation of a continuous and uniform film. This results in a coating with better adhesion, durability, and aesthetic appearance.
