Comparison of performance & structure of waterborne thickeners in thick adhesives

Case study & Key takeaways

3 types of acrylic thickeners were compared to market references:

Viscoatex^™ 730 provides a strong structure and good shear-thinning behaviour and high efficiency, ideal for strong gels
Rheotech^™ 146 provides lower structure/body and ease of application compared to market references
Rheotech^™ M 02 provides a strong structure and good shear-thinning, while offering also a good creaminess and ease of application

Key takeaways:
