    Technical Data Sheet

    ACRYSOL™ RM-12W Rheology Modifier

    Description ACRYSOL™ RM-12W Rheology Modifier is a solvent-free+, nonionic rheology modifier


    designed to offer high low-shear viscosity with an extremely shear thinning rheology and
    excellent thickening efficiency.

    Unlike conventional thickeners, ACRYSOL RM-12W Rheology Modifier offers excellent sag
    resistance with minimal effect on flow and leveling. While not capable of providing true
    thixotropy, it can offer advantages typical of thixotropes. These properties include improved
    brush/roller loading, good anti-drip properties, good in-can structure, and excellent flow/sag
    balance.

    Application ACRYSOL™ RM-12W Rheology Modifier can be used in a variety of interior and exterior
    paint formulations. It is particularly suited for use as a co-thickener to improve flow/sag
    balance with other associative Rheology Modifier, such as ACRYSOL RM-2020 NPR
    Rheology Modifier. ACRYSOL RM-12W can be used in gloss, semigloss, sheen and flat
    acrylic, and vinyl acrylic latex formulations. The highly shear thinning nature of this material
    makes it ideal for spray applications.

    ACRYSOL RM-12W Rheology Modifier is provided as an easy to handle, solvent free liquid
    that is easy to incorporate in the manufacturing process.

    Features Benefits
