Brookfield viscosity (cps): 0-9998
Ionic type: Non-ionic

 

Product Advantages:
Good can opening performance, thickening efficiency, and spatter resistance
Excellent flow and leveling properties, hiding power, uniform film build, and gloss development
Suitable for low-odor, low-VOC coatings
Reduced equilibration time and reduced re-coating
Easy handling and compatibility during production
Resistant to microbial and enzyme attack

 

Instructions: The dosage is determined by the customer’s formulation design. The recommended addition is 0.2%-1.0% of the total formulation.
1. Use with RM-2050, which provides high shear viscosity, to achieve an ideal viscosity balance at different shear rates. If used with RM-2050, it is recommended to add RM-2050 first, followed by RM-12W.
2. Use with fine-grained lipophilic emulsions for more sensitive thickening response and better results.
3. Do not use with polyacid dispersants.
Customers may also combine with other thickeners to achieve the desired rheological properties based on production, storage, application, and film-forming requirements.

 

Packaging: 25.00 kg, 200.00 kg

 

Storage and Transportation Requirements: This product should be stored in a ventilated, dry warehouse, away from direct sunlight. Transport and storage temperatures should be above 5°C. The shelf life is two years.
