High-performance, non-ionic thickener delivering excellent viscosity build and shear-thinning rheology in aqueous systems.
Enhanced water retention and improved sag resistance for superior vertical application performance in coatings and mortars.
Excellent compatibility with common surfactants, biocides, and electrolytes across a broad pH range (3–11).
Consistent batch-to-batch performance enabled by Ashland’s stringent GMP-controlled manufacturing process.
Low foam generation and minimal impact on drying time, supporting efficient production and application workflows.
Architectural paints and interior/exterior latex wall coatings.
Cement-based tile adhesives and thin-set mortars.
Exterior insulation finishing systems (EIFS) base and finish coats.
Water-based industrial maintenance coatings and primers.
Grouts and self-leveling underlayments.
