Rheobyk-100 (formerly RHEOTIX-240)

Rheobyk-100 (formerly RHEOTIX 240) is an organic thixotropic agent used to control the rheological properties of non-aqueous systems.

Rheobyk 240 is generally recommended for processing in heat developing dispersion equipments. For dispersion equipment which does not develop heat (to maximum of 55°C) and with aliphatic solvents, Rheobyk-7590 is suggested.

Benefits of Rheobyk 240 include: good thixotropic, thickening and antisettling effect; promotes pigment and filler suspension; controls flow and levelling; controls liquid penetration into porous surfaces; provides sag and slump control; provides excellent package stability; does not react with pigments or binders; and is easy to disperse.

Recommended for maintenance paints, hammer finish paints, epoxy systems, texture and flamboyant finishes, air and oven dry industrial finishes, stains, architectural finishes, antifouling paints, chlorinated rubber paints, caulking compounds and mastics, road marking.
