Easy to use and Texipol 63-201 Texipol 63-202 Texipol 63-236 Texipol 63-237 Texipol 63-253 Texipol 63-258 Texipol 63-510 backing and nitrile latex compounds. Efficient thickener for general purpose adhesives, wallpaper prepaste, artists’s paints and sealants. Thickener for pigment printing of all fabric types. May be used with difficult black and white pigments. Efficient thickener for pigment printing of all fabric types. High efficiency thickener for construction adhesives, textured coatings and wallpaper prepaste adhesives. Highly efficient thickener for use in bituminous paints, construction adhesives, printing & carpet backing. Used in a surface coatings, textile printing & other similar industries. may be added directly to formulations at any point. Provides short pseudoplastic flow characteristics. Easy to use and may be added directly to formulations at any point. Provides sharp well defined prints with excellent eveness of surface print. Excellent wet and dry print fastness. Gives excellent print definition, colour yield, brilliancy, levelness, fastness and soft handle. Can be used in all aqueous and mixed systems. Gives very short flow, shear thinning behaviour. Easy to use and may be added directly to formulations at any point. Provides very short flow, shear thinning behaviour and pigment suspension ability. Easy to use and may be added directly to formulations at any point. Designed to thicken over a very wide pH range and particularly good at low pH. Carboxylated acrylic copolymers for use as thickening agent. Supplied at low viscosity and require pH adjustment with alkali Alkali soluble thickener for use in coatings, adhesive and textile Gives a shear thinning rheology and responds at lower pH than Texicryl 13Texicryl 13-307 Texicryl 13-308 Texicryl 13-309 compounds. Alkali soluble thickener for use in ceramic tile adhesives, coatings Alkali soluble thickener for use in artist’s paints, adhesives and textile coatings. 308. Beneficial in the formulation of lower odour systems. Excellent short flow rheology providing non-slip characteristics and good suspension of pigments/fillers. Less shear thinning than Texicryl 13-308. 13-309 helps balance rheological properties of a paint and aids application / flow properties.
