ACULYN(TM) 88 Rheology Modifier

ACULYN(TM) 88 Rheology Modifier is an anionic, hydrophobically modified, alkali-soluble acrylic polymer emulsion (HASE) that is lightly crosslinked with unusually high aqueous thickening and stabilizing efficiency. This thickener is a liquid, cold-processable product that instantaneously thickens upon neutralization, providing ease of handling and increased manufacturing efficiency. This product is offered at 29% solids and is compatible with high levels of surfactants. The polymer has a well-established toxicological profile and is safe in normal use.
