There are few parameters in water based coating and adhesive applications looked for, when it comes to the thickener. which should be;
√ Fiber free
√ Easy to disperse and dissolve
√ Available in correct viscosity range
Having such properties USK® and RHEOLON® CMC help these water-based applications having an optimized rheology by providing effects of;
√ Anti settling of solids
√ Improved stability of the suspension over time
√ Water retention and thickening
√ Workability and open time
Dry mixes, latex based plasters, fillers and putties are other examples of application in construction industry. USK® and RHEOLON® CMC for such applications come in ‘easy to handle’ forms and available in different grades.
