Product Details

ACRYSOL™ RM-8W Rheology Modifier is a solvent-free*, nonionic, hydrophobically modified ethylene oxide urethane (HEUR) rheology modifier that offers excellent flow and leveling, uniform film formation, gloss development and high thickening efficiency in interior and exterior latex paints. It can be used in combination with a high-shear builder such as ACRYSOL RM-3000 Rheology Modifier to reach a desired balance of high and low shear viscosity in flat through gloss formulations.

When compared to ACRYSOL RM-8 and ACRYSOL RM-825 Rheology Modifiers in different paint formulations, ACRYSOL RM-8W provided similar rheology, efficiency and end-use properties. In addition, ACRYSOL RM-8W offersthe following advantages:
  • Improved incorporation and handling
  • Reduced equilibration time
  • Low odor
  • Solvent free*
