RT580 Acrylic Thickener
RT580 is an efficient acrylic-based thickener. It is a cross-linked polyacrylic emulsion with some water-repelling parts. It increases low-shear thickness, giving coatings a thick but easy-to-spread texture and holding water well, while keeping the right thickness.
- High thickening ratio, excellent thixotropy
- Can significantly improve the water separation of the coating
- Antimicrobial and mold
