General
RHEOVIS® HS 1332 is an acrylic rheology modifier for mid- to high-shear viscosity control and excellent rheology-control thickener of water based coatings to increase viscosity in the mid- to high-shear range. It is a hydrophobic modified acrylic swellable copolymer emulsion (HASE) in water. The polymer provides the rheology-control effect through extensive swelling of the high-molecular-weight polymer in combination with a hydrophobic component in alkali, in the presence of water. RHEOVIS® HS 1332 is an excellent choice and shows a stronger high-shear contribution than competitive HASE thickeners tested.
