Features Of BASF Rheovis PU1190 DSX3290 Polyurethane Thickener

  1. Non-ionic, hydrophobically modified polyurethane (HMPE) rheology modifier for waterborne systems.

  2. Delivers excellent low-shear viscosity build and outstanding sag resistance in architectural and industrial coatings.

  3. Provides superior compatibility with acrylic, vinyl acetate, and styrene-acrylic dispersions without compromising gloss or clarity.

  4. Enables efficient viscosity adjustment with minimal dosage—typically 0.2–0.8 wt% on total formulation basis.

  5. Stable across broad pH range (pH 4–10) and compatible with common co-thickeners and surfactants.

Typical Applications Of BASF Rheovis PU1190 DSX3290 Polyurethane Thickener

  1. Interior and exterior architectural wall paints (matte to semi-gloss).

  2. Waterborne industrial maintenance coatings for metal and concrete substrates.

  3. Textured decorative coatings and plaster-based finishes.

  4. Water-based wood stains and clear varnishes requiring flow/leveling control.

  5. High-solid, low-VOC coating formulations targeting regulatory compliance.
