Rheological Additives are suitable for medium polar solvent-based and solvent-free coating systems as well as room temperature curing resin systems. Additives produce highly thixotropic flow behavior and improve anti-sag and anti-settling properties. It can also be added later. In addition to thixotropy, liquid rheological additives often have suspension stability, adhesion, and dispersion.

Major players

in the industry include DowDuPont, Akzo Nobel and Lhoist, which accounted for 11.52%, 7.53% and 7.32% of revenues respectively in 2019. By region, the APAC region had the highest share of consumption, at more than 37 percent.
