Features Of Dow CAT 2000PA CMC PEO HPMC Thickener

  1. Multi-polymer synergistic formulation combining carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), polyethylene oxide (PEO), and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) for balanced rheology control.

  2. Excellent water solubility and rapid hydration without lumping, enabling efficient high-shear or low-shear dispersion.

  3. Provides outstanding suspension stability and anti-settling performance in aqueous systems over wide pH and temperature ranges.

  4. Non-ionic and low-foaming profile, compatible with anionic surfactants and common preservatives in formulated products.

  5. Enhanced film-forming capability and improved surface adhesion in coating and construction applications.

Typical Applications Of Dow CAT 2000PA CMC PEO HPMC Thickener

  1. Architectural coatings and interior/exterior paints requiring sag resistance and brush/roller application performance.

  2. Cement-based tile adhesives and self-leveling underlayments where viscosity build and water retention are critical.

  3. Agrochemical suspensions and liquid fertilizers needing long-term particle stabilization and pumpability.

  4. Industrial cleaning formulations including heavy-duty degreasers and alkaline cleaners requiring thickening without compromising detergency.

  5. Personal care gels and liquid soaps where clarity, mildness, and sensory attributes are essential.
