Texipol 63-510 Anionic inverse Scott Bader Rheology Modifiers / Thickeners ADHESIVE Anionic inverse emulsion particularly good at thickening acid & alkali solutions. TEXIPOL 63-510 is an inverse emulsion thickener which imparts a short flow to a wide variety of aqueous and non-aqueous compositions and is effective over a pH range of 1-14. TEXIPOL 63-510 is supplied as an easy to use, low viscosity liquid which gives an almost instantaneous thickening effect on direct mixing into the composition. The polymer in TEXIPOL 63-510 is already in solution (as the sodium salt) and therefore does not require any other additives to promote thickening e.g. alkali, surfactant etc. For most of the applications maximum thickening is achieved within a few minutes but in highly acidic or alkaline formulations maximum thickening might require slightly longer times. Times for optimum thickening can be stabilised by monitoring viscosity development against time. TEXIPOL 63-510 is effective for thickening aqueous based systems over a wide pH range. Suggested applications include industrial cleaners, detergents, household products, metal cleaners and various textile coating and adhesive formulations. Texipol 63-510 may also be used to thicken certain non aqueous systems such as simple alcohols and glycols as well as aqueous blends with N-methyl pyrollidone and other solvents. A good starting point is to add 4% of TEXIPOL 63-510, as received, directly to the composition to be thickened and then homogenise the mix thoroughly. If the resultant mix is too thin add more of TEXIPOL 63-510 and homogenise, and, if it is too viscous, add more of the unthickened composition and homogenise. Information on the effect of pH upon solution viscosity and the thickening of a number of common alkali and acids is available from our Technical Service department. Anionic inverse emulsion. Good at thickening acid and alkali solutions. Provides a very short flow to a wide variety of aqueous and non-aqueous compositions and is effective over a pH range of 1-14.
