Acrylic associative thickener for water-based systems
Product overview
Rheotech™ 4600 is an associative acrylic thickener designed to improve both the rheology and the color acceptance of water based formulations. Its outstanding effectiveness at medium shear rates allows to control very easily the perceived quality of paints during handling and to facilitate coating by roll or by brush, especially for finishing touches. Rheotech™ 4600 can be used in every kind of alkaline water based formulation and particulary in solvent and Alkyl Phenol Ethoxylate (APE) free formulations.
