Rheobyk-T 1000 VF (formerly OPTIFLO-T 1000)

VOC-free associative thickener (HEUR) for aqueous systems to generate a Newtonian flow behaviour.

Rheobyk-T 1000 VF (formerly OPTIFLO-T 1000) increases the viscosity in the high shear range with an extremely low impact in the low shear range. It improves processability, leveling, and storage stability. It reduces spattering during application. In addition, greater layer thicknesses can be achieved along with an excellent balance between the flow properties and leveling.

The additive is liquid and therefore easy to handle. It is not necessary to adjust the pH value or control the temperature during incorporation.

Rheobyk-T 1000 VF is preferably used in emulsion paints and coatings that are based on acrylate, styrene acrylate and vinyl acetate copolymer binders as well as in PU and alkyd emulsions. Recommended for architectural, paper, wood and furniture coatings.
