The 100% solid urethane rheology modifiers of Elementis provide high-performance and more sustainable formulations.
Elementis
has recently announced the expansion of its RHEOLATE® Powder NiSAT product range of 100% solid urethane rheology modifiers for paints and coatings with RHEOLATE PHX 7025, a new solution that helps to provide safer and more sustainable high-performance formulations. It creates up to 10% more efficiency on usage as a high shear builder, ensures superior spatter and also creates excellent stain resistance.
The patented portfolio of Elementis exemplifies the commitment of the company to use its expertise and knowledge in rheology science to develop sustainable solutions that outperform conventional market alternatives. As a matter of fact, thanks to its unique chemical design, RHEOLATE Powder NiSAT can easily be incorporated into a variety of formulations resulting in improved handling, increased efficiency and meeting the latest eco-labelling requirements.
“The paint & coating industry is constantly seeking higher performing, safer and more sustainable solutions. At Elementis, we had already understood that our urethane rheology modifiers could offer the needed improvements. So, we have successfully designed a 100% active powdered version of our urethane rheology modifiers, RHEOLATE® Powder NiSAT range, suitable for high performing formulations,” has declared Carlos Feito Fraile, the technical director of the Performance Specialties division of Elementis.
The rheology modifiers are free of any hazardous labels and powder thickeners allow paint manufacturers to formulate asthma and allergy friendly coatings. Moreover, due to the 100% solid form of RHEOLATE PHX 7025, biocides, emulsifiers and surfactants are not needed, resulting in a VOC-free product.
