Arkema Coating Resins 
Crayvallac® Rheological Modifiers
Features and Benefits:
- Anti-settle CVP® and Flowtone® hydrogenated castor oil-based rheology modifiers (micronized powders)
- Very good sag resistance and anti-settle properties
- Good recoatability
- Imparts shear-thinning rheology with thixotropic viscosity recovery
- Crayvallac® and Flowtone® amide-modified hydrogenated castor oil-based rheology modifiers (micronized powders)
- Very good sag resistance, anti-settle properties and recoatability
- Imparts shear-thinning rheology with thixotropic viscosity recovery
- Suitable for solvent-free coatings
- Crayvallac® amide wax-based rheology modifiers (micronized powders and pastes)
- Very good sag resistance, anti-settle properties and recoatability
- Imparts shear-thinning rheology with thixotropic viscosity recovery
- Good storage stability
- Overcomes the difficulties that exist with hydrogenated castor oil-based rheology modifiers (e.g., seeding, false body, migration of readily-dissolved species to the surface)
- Crayvallac® 60X polyethylene wax paste
- Easily dispersed
- Good anti-settle properties at spraying viscosities, sag resistance and recoatability
- Very little effect on the apparent viscosity
- Tolerant to high processing temperatures
- Prevents caking in dip tanks, delivery lines and storage containers
- Crayvallac® LA-100 modified urea liquid rheology modifier
- Post-addition pourable liquid with temperature-independent activation
