Acrysol™ RM‑2020NPR Rheology Modifier

Acrysol™ RM-2020NPR is a polyurethane rheology modifier designed for high-shear applications. It is suitable for interior and exterior flat/satin/gloss latex paints, export-grade gloss paints, water-based industrial coatings, and low-VOC coatings. The recommended dosage ranges from 0.2% to 0.5% for flat/satin paints, and 0.3% to 0.8% for gloss paints and water-based industrial coatings. This additive rapidly increases system viscosity under high-shear conditions, effectively preventing roller splattering and reducing brush marks, while greatly improving film leveling and mirror-like gloss. It exhibits excellent compatibility with a wide pH range of 4–11 and stabilizes when mixed with various thickeners and dispersants. Once cured, the film demonstrates outstanding water resistance, scrub resistance, and weather resistance, making it particularly ideal for fine-particle acrylic emulsion systems.
