BASF Rheology Modifiers: Thickness for Less Dripping and Spattering in Paints

Everything flows. Therefore flow behaviour of paints needs to be controlled. BASF improves the flowing of paints. Our rheology modifiers create easy-to-handle drip free paints and coatings with one coat covering. Rheology modifiers enable formulators to adjust the flow behavior of paints. That way, painters benefit from improved viscosity and application characteristics. For example, rheology modifiers from BASF reduce dripping and spattering of paints during roller or brush application. Sag resistance of paint is improved by a rapid but controlled viscosity increase after application. During transport and storage of the paint, the rheology modifiers prevent sedimentation of the pigments within a formulation. The film shows the chemical functionality of rheology modifiers.
