    AI Overview
    Construction emulsion thickeners are specialized additives, such as ACRYSOL™ ASE-60 or MaxxThix, designed to increase the viscosity and improve the application properties of water-based systems like paints, adhesives, and coatings. These typically anionic or nonionic polymers, often referred to as alkali-swellable emulsions (ASE) or hydrophobically modified alkali-swellable emulsions (HASE), thicken upon neutralization with a base to provide excellent sag resistance, leveling, and shear-thinning characteristics. 
    Key Types and Applications 
    • Alkali-Swellable Emulsion (ASE/HASE): These are liquid, high-solids emulsions that expand rapidly when neutralized, ideal for boosting low-shear viscosity in coatings.
    • Associative Thickeners (HEUR/HASE): These improve film build and flow, providing "buttery" rheology for paints.
    • Inverse Emulsion Thickeners: Specialized liquid thickeners, such as Texipol 63-258, offer almost instantaneous thickening to aqueous compositions.
    • Applications: Common in construction products like emulsions for cement-based mortars, grouts, adhesive coatings, and water-based paints. 
    Common Products and Functions 
    • ACRYSOL™ DR-80: A milky white liquid thickener with 29.5-30.5% solids.
    • MaxxThix MT-1: Provides high-efficiency thickening for, coatings, and adhesives.
    • Aquaflow™ NLS-225: A nonionic associative thickener for hydrophobic latexes. 
    Use Guidelines 
    • Neutralization: These thickeners generally require a pH of 8.0-9.5 to achieve maximum effectiveness.
    • Method: They can be added directly to aqueous formulations and are known for ease of handling due to their liquid form.
    • Benefits: These additives provide improved sag resistance, reduced spatter, and better storage stability for construction materials. 
    For detailed selection, South City Petrochem provides a guide to choosing the right thickener for paints and printing inks. Detailed information on Scott Bader emulsion thickeners can also be found on their website.

    What is an emulsion thickener?
    These are dispersions of acid functional acrylic polymers in water. They are supplied at low pH and the acid groups on the polymer chains need to be neutralised to allow the polymer to swell and thicken.

    What is ASE 60?
    Description ACRYSOL™ ASE-60 Alkali Soluble Anionic Thickener is an acid containing, acrylic emulsion copolymer. As such, when the emulsion is diluted with water and neutralized with a base, the polymer becomes soluble. Under these conditions, the emulsion clarifies and becomes highly viscous.

    Is an emulsifier the same as a thickener?
    They generally serve two main purposes: Thickening/gelling: Thickening and gelling agents either cause a mixture to thicken or cause the water in a mixture to congeal. Emulsifying: Emulsif ying agents make it possible to mix two immiscible liquids together (e.g. water and oil).
