Features Of Dow Acrysol RM-895 Polyurethane Thickener

  1. Non-ionic, hydrophobically modified polyurethane (HEUR) rheology modifier for robust viscosity control.

  2. Delivers excellent sag resistance and leveling in waterborne coatings without compromising gloss or clarity.

  3. Compatible with a broad range of surfactants, co-thickeners, and functional additives in architectural and industrial formulations.

  4. Enables low-shear viscosity build and strong high-shear thinning behavior for optimal application performance.

  5. Stable across pH 4–12 and tolerant to moderate levels of electrolytes and freeze-thaw cycling.

Typical Applications Of Dow Acrysol RM-895 Polyurethane Thickener

  1. Interior and exterior architectural latex paints.

  2. Waterborne wood stains and clear finishes.

  3. Industrial maintenance coatings for metal and concrete substrates.

  4. Textile printing pastes requiring shear-thinning flow and screen stability.

  5. Adhesives and sealants where controlled rheology and open time are critical.
