Rheovis PU 1331 is latest generation high-shear thickener. 

Rheovis additives encompass a broad portfolio of synthetic rheology modifiers designed for aqueous systems, including non-ionic associative (HEUR / HMPE), anionic associative (HASE) and non-associative anionic (ASE) technologies. 
Each product class has its own properties and applications to enable formulators to achieve their desired rheology profile with all types of resins. 
Rheovis PU and PE series of associative thickeners stand out as a class of groundbreaking additives based primarily on hydrophobically modified polyether and polyurethane derivatives. 

USES and APPLICATIONS of RHEOVIS PU 1331:
-Rheovis PU 1331 is used in high PVC paints, matt / interior, silk / semi-gloss, wood paints and stains, gloss paints as well as in plasters, exterior and elastic paints.
-Rheovis PU 1331 is a highly- efficient environmental friendly associative polyurethane thickener designed to give Newtonian rheology profile and excellent balance of performance properties to flat, semigloss and gloss coatings.

-Rheovis PU 1331 can be used as sole thickener or in combination with other rheology modifiers depending on the desired rheology profile of the particular paint. 
-When used alone Rheovis PU 1331 creates an almost newtonian rheology profile which is desired in e.g. wood coatings where excellent penetration and levelling is important.

-In decorative coatings Rheovis PU 1331 is usually combined either with cellulose ethers or low shear associative thickeners to improve highshear viscosity (ICI) for better brush drag, hiding power and minimizes spattering.
-Rheovis PU 1331 provides optimum performance in aqueous clear and high gloss top coatings, as well as anti-corrosive paints and thick layer systems. 

-Combination of Rheovis PU 1331 with other low/mid shear Rheovis rheology modifiers -or other types of thikeners e.g cellulose ethers- can be used to attain the desired balance of high/low shear viscosities.
-Rheovis PU 1331 is usually added as the final ingredient in formulation however, in cases where is limited agitation at this stage, addition of portion of 10-20% on total quantity of Rheovis PU 1331, just after the grind stage, can aid incorporation of the final component. 

-The coating containing Rheovis PU 1331 should be allowed to stand for 16 hours for equilibration, to allow the optimum rheology to develop.
