Selection Guide

Rheology Modifiers Selection for Adhesives and Sealants

Rheology modifiers improve the viscosity and have a great impact on the application characteristics of adhesive and sealant formulations. They help you to adjust the flow properties as well as prevent settling down of fillers during settling and transportation in your formulation. Explore the importance and role of rheology modifiers along with their chemistries, selection process, formulation and testing guidelines in order to easily adjust the flow characteristics of your final adhesive formulation.
