Alcogum SL 827

Alcogum SL 827 is a water-soluble thickener for anionic bitumen or oil emulsions that is stable at high emulsion temperatures. It is easily added in the soap phase of anionic emulsions either before or after addition of alkali (see below for more information). Alcogum SL 827 may reduce settling during storage and reduce emulsifier dosage.

Features
  • Easy to use: Alcogum SL-827 is a low viscosity liquid thickener easy to incorporate in the soap phase of anionic emulsions. It should be added before addition of alkali. Alcogum SL-827 may be post added into emulsion, but in that case should be diluted 1-3 times in water to ensure good distribution.
  • High emulsion temperature stability: It provides more stable viscosity than with other commercial thickeners over a period of time when emulsions are stored at temperatures above 55°C
  • Higher viscosity: The product provides higher viscosity, allowing specifications to be met at the lowest residue content and preventing settlement during storage
  • Improved emulsion quality: The use of Alcogum SL-827 in the soap solution generally, results in smaller emulsion particle size and allows a reduction in emulsifier dosage
  • Easy to handle liquid thickeners for anionic emulsions with high temperature stability
