Product Details

ACRYSOL RM-825 is a nonionic urethane rheology modifier, designed for formulating interior/exterior paints ranging from highly structured to paints that portray nearly Newtonian behavior.

ACRYSOL RM-825 rheology modifier shows a very good balance of flow and high shear viscosity. The nature of this balance is dependent on formulations and latex types. This allows the formulation of paints meeting a variety of rheological requirements.

ACRYSOL RM-825 can be used as a co-thickener in many types of formulations for attaining a desired balance low and high shear viscosities. It has excellent water and alkali resistance.
