Scott Bader launches Texipol® 63-400, a rheology modifier that imparts pseudoplastic properties to aqueous-based compositions. The product is a latest addition to Texipol® rheology modifiers family that offer versatile thickening performance over a broad range of water-based formulations.
Immediate Thickening without Neutralization
Texipol® 63-400 is supplied as a pre-neutralized dispersion as the sodium salt of an acrylic polymer.
The product provides almost immediate thickening without needing neutralization or extra additives, helping to speed up production times and lower costs. With 4% in water, it creates a thickened viscosity of >35,000 mPa s.
Texipol® 63-400 is ideal for thickening systems of pH>7, although it can be used from pH 5.
The
rheology modifier can be used in a wide variety of aqueous binder systems including PVA, SBR, and acrylic and styrene acrylic copolymers, and various adhesive, sealant and coating formulations.
