Further to the thickening effect, the product stabilises pigments and fillers and regulates the water retention (open time) after paint application. Solutions of POLYCOL WP-05 behave slightly pseudoplastically; i.e. the viscosity decreases slightly as a function of increased shear-rate, independent of time. The production process of POLYCOL WP-05 includes a special surface treatment, which delays the swelling of the product in water at a neutral or slightly acidic pH. This enables the user to disperse POLYCOL WP-05 easily in water without getting lumps. By increasing the pH to 8.5 – 9 or higher, the swelling occurs immediately. view less | |

It is designed to improve the Newtonian rheological properties over a wide shear rate interval without exhibiting any significant thixotropic effect. Thus, RHEOVIS® AS 1337 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 RHEOVIS® AS 1337 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. RHEOVIS® AS 1337 is most effective over the pH range 7.5 – 10.5. view less | |
