Q1: What type of rheology does VISCOATEX 730 provide in waterborne systems?
A: VISCOATEX 730 is an associative acrylic thickener that delivers strong pseudoplastic (shear-thinning) behavior, enhancing sag resistance at rest while maintaining good flow and leveling during application.
Q2: Is VISCOATEX 730 compatible with high-shear processes and common co-thickeners?
A: Yes — it exhibits excellent compatibility with other rheology modifiers including cellulosic thickeners and hydrophobically modified alkali-swellable emulsions (HASE), and remains stable under typical high-shear dispersion and grinding conditions used in paint and coating manufacturing.
Q3: How does VISCOATEX 730 perform in low-VOC or zero-VOC formulations?
A: As a non-ionic, solvent-free acrylic polymer, VISCOATEX 730 supports low- and zero-VOC formulation strategies without compromising viscosity development or storage stability, making it well-suited for environmentally compliant architectural and industrial coatings.
Q4: Does VISCOATEX 730 require pH adjustment for activation?
A: Unlike traditional alkali-swellable thickeners, VISCOATEX 730 functions effectively across a broad pH range (typically pH 4–10) and does not require precise alkaline activation, offering greater formulation flexibility and reduced sensitivity to pH drift during storage.
