By removing or inhibiting air bubbles they are important process aids throughout the paint production as well as the application process. Paint manufacturers benefit from foam-free production processes by reaching their desired results much quicker and do not have to worry about additional negative side effects, for example inaccurate filling of containers due to entrapped air. During application the build up of foam has to be prevented to ensure an optimum paint surface without any remaining bubbles or other surface defects.

That way, painters benefit from improved viscosity and application characteristics. For example, rheology modifiers from BASF reduce dripping and spattering of paint during roller or brush application. Sag resistance of a paint is improved by a rapid but controlled viscosity increase after application. During transport and storage of the paint, the rheology modifiers prevent sedimentation of the pigments within a formulation.
