RHEOVIS® AS 1337 is an effective rheology-control thickener for water-based systems designed to improve the Newtonian rheological properties over a broad shear rate range without exhibiting any significant thixotropic effect. It thus allows the formulation of high-gloss paint systems with optimal flow properties for manual application techniques.

• glossy emulsion paints for household paints
• glossy low-duty industrial paints

As a synthetically derived product, RHEOVIS® AS 1337 is less susceptible to microbiological attack than derivatives of cellulose. Consequently the paint formulator can substantially reduce the level of biocide leading to a broader area of application.

RHEOVIS® AS 1337 is most effective in the pH range of 7.5 to 10.5.
