Hisol D 201

Alkaline associative thickener

Description:
Hisol D 201 APEO-free HASE (alkaline swellable associative) thickener for waterborne paints and coatings and inks. Hisol D 201 has excellent pigment wetting properties. Compared to HEC, the paint thickened with Hisol D 201 shows better thickening power and thixotropic properties.

Main advantages:
— paints thickened with Hisol D 201 show a high degree of resistance to delamination and sagging over a long period of storage and a low level of problems with flocculation of pigments after drying
Inks thickened with Hisol D 201 show good Brookfield viscosity and better thixotropy properties compared to systems thickened with HEC.
— paints thickened with Hisol D 201 show high resistance to microbiological contamination by bacteria and their waste products and, accordingly, resistance to loss of viscosity
— in formulations on Hisol D 201, it is easier to achieve repeatability of the viscosity of the final products compared to the use of cellulose thickeners
— paints thickened with Hisol D 201 are more resistant to changes in viscosity during storage. Also stable under tropical, freeze-thaw conditions.
