RHEOBYK-405

RHEOBYK-405 is a liquid rheology additive for solvent-borne coating systems to increase the rheological effectiveness of pyrogenic fumed silica. Incorporation of the fumed silica is made easier, separation is prevented, and the thixotropic behavior increased or stabilized. It acts as a wetting and dispersing additive and makes it easy to incorporate pyrogenic fumed silica in the coating. It increases or stabilizes the thixotropic behavior. The improved rheological effect is particularly noticeable in clear coatings as the incorporation of the fumed silica does not usually occur at the same high shear forces as for pigmented systems.
