RHEOLYX

Low dose, high yield.

RHEOLYX U-10

Self-wetting grade engineered for efficient thickening at low use level.

Placeholder: RHEOLYX U-10 neutralised gel swatch

Overview

RHEOLYX U-10 disperses without prolonged high-shear mixing and reaches target viscosity at a lower dose than conventional grades.

The result is shorter batch times, less air entrainment, and lower polymer cost per kilogram of finished product.

Viscosity ceiling is lower than the 9-series; pair with U-20 or 2020 where higher body is required.
