Hydrophobically modified Ethylene oxide URethane (HEUR) is a polyurethane-based rheology modifier that has the ability to self-assemble through hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces. HEUR is widely used in water-based coatings, mainly to increase the viscosity of the coating, improve fluidity and stability.

Hydrophobically modified Alkali Soluble Emulsion(HASE) is a water-soluble thickener that provides thickening effect by alkali solubility and utilizing its unique self-assembly property. HASE is widely used in water-based coatings, adhesives and other water-based products.

The role of rheology modifiers in coatings：

Rheology modifiers mainly improve the operability, storage and construction performance of coatings by changing the rheological properties of coatings. Different types of rheology modifiers are suitable for different coating systems and can help improve the formulation stability, storage stability, construction performance and quality of the final paint film. Especially in water-based coatings, the role of rheology modifiers is particularly important.
