Polyurethane rheology modifier thickeners are integral in enhancing the viscosity and flow properties of waterborne coatings, adhesives, and inks. The production of these thickeners has seen a steady increase, driven by the rising demand for environmentally friendly and low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) formulations. Manufacturers are focusing on developing high-performance thickeners that offer excellent stability, compatibility, and ease of incorporation into various systems. The shift towards sustainable and eco-friendly products has further propelled the production of water-based polyurethane thickeners.
