1100 Series - Associative Thickeners
The DeCAL 1100 Series of associative thickeners are used where improved flow is desirable, for example in alkaline water-borne decorative coatings.
Products
DeCAL 1100 – Associative Thickener and Rheological Control Agent
DeCAL 1100 is an acrylic copolymer emulsion in water. This high molecular weight hydrophobic polymer provides a rheological control effect through extensive swelling and association in alkaline conditions.
Applications
info to follow
Benefits
- Improves sag resistance and anti-settling when used in paint formulations.
- Gives much less spattering in paints applied by roller.
DeCAL 1101 – Liquid synthetic thickener for water-borne systems
DeCAL 1011 is a synthetic alkali swellable, solvent free and liquid thickener for water-borne systems. It is highly effective to increase low shear viscosities as well as yield values.
Applications
DeCAL 1011 is recommended for use in flat paints, textured coatings, plasters and wood stains. It is also ideally suited for use in industrial, institutional and household sectors where its high thickening power, electrolyte tolerance, surfactant stability and water white clarity on neutralisation are beneficial.
Benefits
- Ideal rheological control additive for water-borne coatings.
- Gives non stringy formulations which are easy to apply over a wide range of speeds and or processes.
- Less susceptible to microbiological attacks than derivatives of cellulose.
- Can be added as a post additive in liquid form.
- Effective in the pH range optimally 7.5-10.5.
DeCAL 1104E – Associative Thickener and Rheological Control Agent
DeCAL 1104E is an acrylic copolymer emulsion in water. This medium molecular weight hydrophobic polymer provides a rheological control effect through extensive swelling and association in alkaline conditions.
Applications
DeCAL 1104E is an ideal rheological control additive for water-borne coatings.
Benefits
- Medium shear thickener
- Improves sag resistance and anti-settling when used in paint formulations
- Gives much less spattering in paints applied by roller
- Anti-settlement
- Easy handling and flexible addition
- Colourant flocculation resistance
- Microbiological attack resistance
- Electrolyte tolerance
DeCAL 1107
DeCAL 1107 is a high efficiency modified acrylic copolymer emulsion in water. This high molecular weight hydrophobic polymer provides a rheological control effect through extensive swelling and association in alkaline conditions. This product improves flow and leveling performance whilst retaining high thickening efficiency. The use of DeCAL 1107 also provides improved sag resistance and anti-settling and gives much less spattering in paints applied by roller.
Applications
High PVC emulsion paints, acrylic sealants/fillers, low cost wood treatments and spray applied systems.
Benefits
- High low shear viscosity and high structure pseudoplastic rheology
- Anti-settlement
- Easy handling and flexible addition
- Colourant flocculation resistance
- Microbiological attack resistance
- Electrolyte tolerance
DeCAL 1107E – Associative Thickener and Rheological Control Agent
DeCAL 1107E is a high efficiency modified acrylic copolymer emulsion in water. This high molecular weight hydrophobic polymer provides a rheological control effect through extensive swelling and association in alkaline conditions.
Applications
DeCAL 1107E is suitable for a variety of applications including high PVC emulsion paints, acrylic sealants/fillers, low cost wood treatments and spray applied systems.
Benefits
- Low shear thickener
- Improves sag resistance and anti-settling when used in paint formulations
- Gives much less spattering in paints applied by roller
- High low shear viscosity and high structure
- Anti-settlement
- Improves flow and levelling performance whilst retaining high thickening efficiency Easy handling and flexible addition
