Description
Thickener SL 6103 is a very stable waterborne emulsion of a light molecular weight acrylic polymer.
Appearance: milky white liquid.
Application
It is used as a thickening agent in waterborne emulsion of natural and/or synthetic latex. It can be used at concentrations up to 6% and it has to be neutralized. It can increase the viscosity of the emulsion to the desired level.
Note: viscosity increases with the pH reaching its maximum when the acid is completely neutralized.
Viscosity increases in 24-48 hours, depending also upon temperature.
