Product Details

ACRYSOL™ ASE-60 Thickener is an acid containing, acrylic emulsion copolymer. As such, when the emulsion is diluted with water and neutralized with a base, the polymer becomes soluble. Under these conditions, the emulsion clarifies and becomes highly viscous.

It is effective at increasing low shear rate (Brookfield) viscosity, resulting in coatings that have highly shear thinning characteristics. Coatings formulated with ACRYSOL™ ASE-60 Thickener as a sole thickener exhibit a high yield value or gel structure. This structure develops upon removal of shear, hence it is suited to the development of moderately textured paints and other such coatings.

As ACRYSOL™ ASE-60 Thickener is non-cellulosic, its polymer is very resistant to bacterial or enzymatic degradation, resulting in long term paint viscosity stability. Other benefits to the manufacturer include reduced roller spatter compared to high molecular weight cellulosic thickeners.

It is recommended for use in textured paints, or as a secondary thickener to control sagging. ACRYSOL™ ASE-60 Thickener can be used in both interior and exterior applications, but for applications where water resistance is important, we suggest formulators optimize their formulations to minimize potential blistering which can occur due to the anionic nature of this product. Where superior water resistance is required, we recommend the use of Nonionic Associative Rheology Modifiers such as ACRYSOL™ RM-725 Rheology Modifier.
