Summary
Surfactants and polymeric dispersants can
be used to control many coating
characteristics including:
• In-can stability • Surfactants are more than just surfactants. They
• Gloss influence many coating properties.
• Durability • Surfactants are classified by their ionic nature and
• Surface defects their HLB value. A wide range is available
• Substrate wetting • Surfactants should be chosen carefully to match the
• Colour acceptance required purpose efficiently and to avoid side effects
• Colour development • Trial and error can be minimized with good science
• And many more…….

Conclusion
• RHEOLATE® 350D is a VOC free associative
thickener (NiSAT) based on a PEPO technology, which
provides excellent flow and levelling in parquet
lacquers
• In all tested lacquers, RHEOLATE® 350D appears to
be the most efficient thickner. This enhances the
formulators production flexibility
• RHEOLATE® 350D does not affect the key
performance properties of the parquet lacquer
