RHEOBYK 7420 ES is a liquid rheology additive that generates thixotropic flow behavior in aqueous and highly polar systems. It improves the anti-sagging and anti-settling properties of coatings without impairing leveling. RHEOBYK 7420 ES is preferably used as an anti-settling additive to produce aqueous pigment, filler and matting agent concentrates for coatings. Its excellent shear thinning effect is advantageous for dosing because of its low viscosity. In addition, it is suitable for controlling the thixotropic flow behavior and for optimizing the anti-sagging properties and leveling of coatings. RHEOBYK 7420 ES provides benefits such as preventing sedimentation and syneresis in coatings and increasing the anti-sagging properties without impairing leveling.
