Ashland Inc.
The "Aquaflow" rheology modifier is a high-performance non-ionic synthetic associative thickener unique to ASHLAND. It has a proven track record in water-based paints.
ASHLAND is known as a specialty chemical manufacturer with approximately 100 years of experience since its founding. Our company leverages extensive product knowledge and expertise to support our customers in improving manufacturing efficiency and quality. The 'Aquaflow' rheology modifier is a water-soluble polymer that has both hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts, and it exhibits viscosity by associating with its own hydrophobic parts and other hydrophobic parts. For viscosity development at high shear, we recommend the NHS series, and for viscosity development at low shear, we recommend the NLS series. We also offer the XLS series, which improves dripping and leveling properties. 【Representative Products】 ■ XLS-530 (20% aqueous solution) ■ NLS-200 (25% water/butyl carbamate) ■ NLS-220 (21% aqueous solution) ■ NMS-450 (19% aqueous solution) ■ NMS-300 (20% aqueous solution) ■ NHS-350 (17.5% aqueous solution) 【Representative Properties】 ■ Thickening ■ Leveling properties ■ Drip prevention
