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:
Evaluation of several acrylic thickeners efficiency and rheological behaviour in a binder commonly used in thick adhesives- KU and ICI viscosities comparison
- Brookfield viscosities comparison
- Efficiency vs dosage
