Application: TEGO® RHEO 8510 can be used for the thickening of dispersions of polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), vinyl-ethylene-copolymers (VAE) or acrylates used for adhesives or paper refinement. TEGO® RHEO 8510 provides on the one hand high viscosity of the dispersions, but on the other hand, due to its pseudo plastic behavior, it shows shear thinning effects. Therefore dispersions are easily applicable, which is especially interesting e. g. on gravure roll machines. Additionally, TEGO® RHEO 8510 prevents from misting on fast running gravure rolls or the like, due to its pseudo plastic flow behavior. That means the creation of dispersion dusts at the gravure roll is suppressed.
