Highly efficient thickener delivering excellent viscosity build and suspension stability in aqueous systems.
Offers superior shear-thinning rheology for easy application and improved sag resistance in coatings and construction mortars.
Provides outstanding water retention in cementitious and gypsum-based formulations, enhancing workability and hydration.
Compatible with a broad range of electrolytes, surfactants, and biocides commonly used in industrial and architectural applications.
Consistent batch-to-batch performance ensured by Ashland’s stringent quality control and cGMP manufacturing standards.
Architectural paints and coatings requiring balanced flow, leveling, and anti-sag properties.
Cement-based tile adhesives and grouts where extended open time and water retention are critical.
Gypsum-based joint compounds and plasters for improved workability and reduced cracking.
Water-based industrial maintenance coatings and fireproofing slurries.
Non-aqueous systems with water-miscible solvents, including certain specialty inks and adhesives.
