Aquaflow® rheology modifiers are highly efficient, nonionic associative thickeners (NSAT) for high performance waterborne paints and coatings. These easy to handle liquids modify rheology of paints and coatings by self-association and interaction with other ingredients. Aquaflow rheology modifiers are based on hydrophobically-modified polyacetal-polyether (HM-PAPE) chemistry and are designed to easily replace competitive urethane-type (HEUR) thickeners.

Benefits 

• Superior flow and leveling
• ICI viscosity control
• Full gloss development
• Excellent spatter resistance

Aquaflow rheology modifiers are available in three series:

• Aquaflow NHS-series offer cost-effective high-shear (ICI) viscosity control and ease of handling
• Aquaflow NLS and XLS-series provide cost-effective Brookfield and Stormer viscosity control and ease of handling
• New Aquaflow XLS series are Aqualon’s latest generation NSATs designed for superior leveling sag and color. All XLS-series products are solvent-free, APEO-free and low viscosity for ease of handling. Learn more
