Alcogum L-52 Acrylate based emulsion copolymer 31550-14-8 National Starch and Chemical-Alco Chemical North America South and Central America Asia / Pacific Rheology Modifier/ Thickener >> Associative >> Hydrophobically modified alkali-soluble emulsions (HASE) Coatings >> Solvent-Free/ High-Solids ALCOGUM® L-52 is an acrylate-based emulsion copolymer supplied at 30% active solids in water. The process employed in the manufacture of ALCOGUM L-52 allows fine control of the polymer structure and molecular weight for optimized performance in a broad range of application areas. Such applications include mastic adhesive compounding, paint formulation, construction compounding, latex coatings, pigment mining, and particulate suspension. It possesses liquid for ease of handling and metering, shear thinning flow characteristics, effective viscosity build in high solids systems, easily incorporated in filled systems, improves flow and rheology of formulated adhesives. An acrylate-based emulsion copolymer. Possesses shear thinning flow characteristics and exhibits effective viscosity build in high solids systems. Used in paint formulation, construction compounding, latex coatings, pigment mining, and particulate suspension.
