Rheolate® 212
Technical DataSheet | Supplied by Elementis

VOC-free polyether polyurethane. Acts as an associative flow modifier and thickener for aqueous applications. Can be
used alone or in combination with a co-thickener. Provides high efficiency, high-shear rate viscosity build, very good
levelling, enhanced film build and brush drag, and good package viscosity development. Offers superior spatter
resistance, good color acceptance, bio-stability and compatibility with other thickeners. Does not detract from gloss or
wet adhesion. Used for applications such as high quality, low VOC latex paints, high-gloss, semi-gloss and flat interior
and exterior latex paints, inks and textile coatings.
