Alcogum AN-10 Sodium polyacrylate 61788-39-4 National Starch and Chemical-Alco Chemical Rheology Modifiers / Thickeners Acrylics/ Acrylates Chloroprene Rubber (CR) Rubber - Elastomer (Chloroprene, Butyl …) Ethylene co-terpolymers - solid (EVA, EMA...) Polyvinyl acetate emulsions & derivatives (PVAc…) ADHESIVE ALCOGUM™ polymers are pre-activated high molecular weight rheology modifiers used to viscosify a wide range of adhesive compounds. ALCOGUM thickeners provide stable viscosity over a broad pH range and are resistant to biological degradation. ALCOGUM AN-10 is an amber, viscous liquid, sodium polyacrylate thickener which finds extensive use in the thickening of natural and synthetic latexes for a wide variety of applications. ALCOGUM AN-10 may be used to thicken styrene-butadiene, acrylonitrile, butadiene, neoprene, acrylic, vinyl acetate and ethylene-vinyl acetate latex compounds. In general, it is the most satisfactory thickener for latexes which have an alkaline reaction, although some success has been achieved in neutral or slightly acid systems. ALCOGUM AN-10 can be used in a variety of applications including: Carpet Backing Latex Foam Adhesives Emulsions Dispersions Nonwovens Amber, viscous liquid, sodium polyacrylate thickener. Used in latex adhesives. Provides stable viscosity over a broad pH range. Offers resistance to biological degradation.
