RHEOLATE® FX 1080 rheological additive is a very low VOC, highly efficient, high active content polyether polyurethane associative thickener (NISAT) for the use in aqueous paints and coatings. RHEOLATE® FX 1080 is applicable in many waterborne systems such as emulsions, dispersions and emulsion paints e.g. based on polyacrylic-, polyvinyl-acetate homopolymers and most terpolymers.

RHEOLATE® FX 1080 is recommended for a wide range of paint formulations, from gloss to matt finishes. This rheology modifier improves the anti-settling and sag resistance of aqueous paints by increasing the mid and low shear viscosity. This rheology modifier is supplied as a liquid, is convenient to handle and ready for immediate use.
