NM-ST 2623 Rheology Control Additive

Synthetic thickener

NM-ST 2623 rheology control additive is a powdered synthetic thickener based on polyacrylic acid. Being used in aqueous systems for a variety of different purposes in printing, coating or other technical applications.

It demonstrates ion insensitivity to electrolytes which may be present in dye printing systems, combined with efficient thickening performance. This resin is un-neutralized and requires addition of an appropriate neutralizing agent to achieve maximum thickening efficiency. Neutralized dispersions of the NM-ST 2623 show high viscosity and high yield stress and can be used for suspending pigments or other particles in an aqueous system.

Features and Benefits   

 l Suitable for surfactant system and high electrolyte rate system

 l Excellent freeze-thaw and high temperature stability at low concentrations in oil-in-water emulsions

 l Imparts instant thickening upon neutralization

 l Improved vertical cling which minimizes dripping and increases surface contact time

 l Provides shear-thinning rheology to enable easy pumping and dispensing of finished products via trigger sprayers

 l Provides yield value to allow for the suspension of a wide variety of insoluble materials or particles
