Rheology
YT-255E is a self-developed nonionic associative waterborne polyurethane thickener (HEUR). It delivers low-shear strong pseudoplasticity and high viscosity build in coatings, with excellent pigment wetting performance. Tin-free and toluene-free, it is an eco-friendly rheology modifier suitable as a drop-in alternative to 12W and 299. Widely used in waterborne coatings for high thickening efficiency, spatter resistance and anti-settling performance.
