Applications and Formulation

Aquaflow NLS-200 NSAT can be used in a variety of paint formulations and is fully compatible with other rheology modifiers. For example, using Aquaflow NHS-300 NSAT with Aquaflow NLS-200 NSAT will increase high-shear viscosity. Adding Natrosol™ Plus modified hydroxyethylcellulose(HMHEC) can enhance sag resistance and color development.

When used as the sole thickener, some low shear NSATs will exhibit excellent anti-sag properties but may also adversely impact the flow and leveling.The addition of a high shear thickener to such systems will provide the excellent sag resistance and flow and leveling balance.
