T-GUM Highlight: Rheology Modifiers & Thickeners

Did you know? T Gum-104 is a specialty sodium polyacrylate thickener developed for use in hard-to-stabilize emulsions. Specialized gum thickeners designed to impart unique rheology characteristics, especially in cold SBRs and natural rubber formulations and a host of applications.

Applications include:
• Primary and secondary thickening of coatings adhesives, grouts, dispersions, suspensions thickening of liquid solutions applied by spray application
• Protective colloids and particle coatings in specialty products
• The broad product selection provides the formulator with a high degree of flexibility in determining the best choice for each application

A few of its benefits include:
• It produces excellent results as a primary thickener / stabilizer in silicon oil emulsions and defoamers.
• Exhibits outstanding suspension properties when incorporated into pigment, specialty powder, and filler dispersions; producing high system yield values that require minimal amounts of shear force to thin for transfer and pumping.
• Performs as an effective thickener for defoamers, upholstery, wall paper, and floor coverings based on natural, SBR, acrylic, EVA (VAE), and related lattices.
• Excels as a primary thickener; or can be used in combination with other thickening agents to modify, shape and enhance formulation rheological properties.
