Rheovis^® PU 1331

Highly efficient high-shear viscosity builder for all types of aqueous paints and coatings.

Rheovis PU 1331 is a low VOC and low odor associative thickener that shows high efficiency in building high shear (ICI) viscosity while also improving low shear (Brookfield) viscosity, allowing reduction of cellulose ether addition. It it suitable for all types of aqueous paints and coatings, like premium flat and eggshell, semi-gloss, and gloss coatings.
