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.
