    AI Overview
    Acrylic emulsion associative thickeners, often called Hydrophobically modified Alkali Swellable Emulsions (HASE), are liquid-form, pH-responsive thickeners designed for waterborne systems. They build viscosity by linking with binder particles, enhancing high-shear viscosity, flow, leveling, and sag resistance in paints, coatings, and adhesives. 
    Key Characteristics and Benefits 
    • Mechanism: HASE thickeners dissolve and swell upon neutralization (

      ), extending their polymer chains. The hydrophobic groups then associate with binder particles and other formula ingredients, forming a thick, networked structure.
    • Rheology Profile: They provide excellent high-shear viscosity (ICI) and enhanced flow and leveling, resulting in superior film build and appearance.
    • Efficiency: They are highly efficient, improving in-can appearance and providing good spatter resistance during application.
    • Formulation Ease: As liquid emulsions, they are easy to incorporate into water-based paints and coatings compared to powder-based thickeners.
    • Application: Commonly used in decorative paints, adhesives, and water-based industrial coatings, with many providing excellent resistance to microbial attack. 
    Common Examples and Types 
    • HASE Thickeners (Hydrophobically Modified Alkali Swellable Emulsions): The most common type, providing high efficiency and excellent leveling.
    • HEUR Thickeners (Hydrophobically Modified Ethoxylated Urethane): Often used in combination for superior film formation, though HASE is the focus here.
    • Examples: Rheotech™ from Arkema, Rheovis® from BASF, and ACRYSOL™ from Dow. 
    HASE thickeners are known for being effective replacements for traditional HEC thickeners (Hydroxethyl Cellulose).

    What is the difference between emulsion and acrylic emulsion?
    What is the Difference between Emulsion and Acrylic Paint? The usual components of emulsion paint are pigment, resin, solvent, and additions. After drying, the acrylic paint holds the other ingredients in place since it adheres to the surface. Emulsion paint is less resistant to moisture and less long-lasting.Apr 20, 2024
