FAQs of Associative Thickeners:

Q: How do I incorporate Associative Thickener into water-based paints?

A: Associative Thickener should be mixed directly into your water-based paint or coating formulation. It disperses easily in water under normal mixing conditions, providing smooth integration and a uniform viscosity boost.

Q: What are the benefits of using this thickener in my formulations?

A: Benefits include high viscosity enhancement, improved gloss, stable rheology with no separation during storage, maintenance of film clarity, and low to zero VOC emissions. It also offers high weather, acid, and alkali resistance for durable coatings.

Q: When should Associative Thickener be added during the paint manufacturing process?

A: For optimum dispersion and thickening performance, add the thickener during the mixing phase of water-based paint production, preferably before final adjustments, to ensure an even distribution throughout the batch.

Q: Where can this product be applied?

A: Associative Thickener is suitable for both architectural and industrial water-based paint applications. It is ideal for any project requiring enhanced viscosity, improved application, and consistent film properties.

Q: What is the recommended storage process for this product?

A: The thickener should be stored in its original HDPE drum or sealed small pack in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain product stability and prevent moisture contamination.

Q: Is Associative Thickener compatible with all latex systems and does it affect film clarity?

A: Yes, its non-ionic nature makes it compatible with most latex systems, and it does not impact the clarity or gloss of the final film, making it suitable for transparent and decorative finishes.
