Viscalex® VG2 is an effective rheological control agent for water-borne systems. It is designed to improve the Newtonian rheological properties over a wide shear rate interval without exhibiting any significant thixotropic effect. Thus, Viscalex® VG2 allows formulation of high gloss paint systems with optimal flow properties for manual application techniques. This white liquid is a formulation based on an acrylic copolymer.
Typical end-use applications include: glossy emulsion paints for household paints and glossy, low duty industrial paints. Since Viscalex® VG2 is a synthetically derived product it is less susceptible to microbiological attack than derivatives of cellulose. Consequently the paint formulator can substantially reduce the level of biocide leading to a broader area of application. Viscalex® VG2 is most effective over the pH range 7.5 – 10.5.
