RHEOBYK HV 80

Coatings industry
Special features and benefits

• RHEOBYK HV 80 increases the viscosity in the medium shear range and is a cost-effective additive for viscosity adjustment in matt, silk-matt and satin-finish systems.
• The processability, leveling and storage stability are improved.
• The additive is liquid and therefore easy to handle.

Recommended use
RHEOBYK HV 80 is preferably used in emulsion paints and coatings that are based on acrylate, styrene acrylate, vinyl acrylate and vinyl acetate binders.

Incorporation and processing instructions

• Gradual addition whilst stirring, preferably as the last stage after neutralization, ensures an optimum distribution as well as the best effectiveness and reproducibility in applications. RHEOBYK-HV 80 is suitable for adding to the letdown product, or as a post additive to retroactively adjust the rheological properties.
• RHEOBYK HV 80 develops the best rheological effectiveness at a pH value of 8 or above.

Home Care and I&I
Special features and benefits

• RHEOBYK HV 80 increases the viscosity in the medium shear range and is a cost-effective additive for viscosity adjustment.
• RHEOBYK HV 80 tolerates a high surfactant content and achieves almost Newtonian flow behavior without affecting the clarity and transparency of the liquid detergent.

Recommended use
RHEOBYK-HV 80 is used as a rheology additive for increasing the viscosity of cleaning products and detergents containing aqueous substances.

Incorporation and processing instructions

• Gradually adding whilst stirring, preferably as the last position after neutralization, ensures an optimum distribution as well as the best effectiveness and reproducibility in applications. RHEOBYK-HV 80 is suitable for adding to the letdown product, or as a post-additive for retroactively adjusting the rheological properties.
• RHEOBYK HV 80 develops the best rheological effectiveness at a pH value of 8 or above.
