Product overview
HASE Alkali-Swellable Thickener is an anionic acrylic rheology modifier activated by neutralization. It is selected for viscosity build, suspension and sag control in waterborne coatings, with final performance influenced by pH, electrolyte, surfactant and binder chemistry.
Function & Usage
- Control Rheology & Water Retention
Controls viscosity, suspension, sag resistance or water retention in suitable coating and construction formulations. Typical uses: Architectural and textured paints, Low- and mid-shear viscosity control, Sag resistance and suspension.
- Formulate Architectural & Decorative Paints
Supports opacity, color, film formation, application rheology or durability in compatible architectural-paint formulations. Typical uses: Architectural and textured paints, Low- and mid-shear viscosity control, Sag resistance and suspension.
Product information
- Applications:
- Architectural and textured paints, Low- and mid-shear viscosity control, Sag resistance and suspension, Adhesives and construction emulsions
- Hazard / Transport:
- Acidic aqueous polymer emulsions may irritate eyes and skin. Preservatives and residual monomers affect classification; use suitable neutralization controls and confirm the grade-specific SDS.
- Storage:
- Store tightly closed in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. Protect from freezing, excessive heat, direct sunlight and contamination; follow the grade-specific minimum storage temperature and shelf life.
