Aculyn™ 88 is an anionic hydrophobically
modified alkali-soluble acrylic polymer emulsion (HASE) this
is lightly crosslinked with unusually high aqueous thickening
and stabilizing efficiency. This thickener is a liquid, cold-processable
product that instantaneously thickens upon neutralization
providing ease of handling and increased manufacturing efficiency.
Aculyn™ 88 is offered at 29% solids and is compatible
with high levels of surfactants. The polymer has a well-established
toxicological profile and is safe in normal use.
