- Applications
- DeCAL 1803 provides a cost effective means of thickening difficult cationic systems.
- DeCAL 1803 enhances performance whilst promoting excellent viscosity and flow control.
- DeCAL 1803 can be added to formulations at any stage of manufacture. This is because its low, as supplied viscosity means that it can be incorporated easily without the need for elaborate mixing facilities.
- DeCAL 1803 does not require neutralization or heat, and activates simply by agitation. DeCAL 1803 also aids suspension and stabilization of other co-ingredients, and its high thickening efficiency means that only low usage levels are required in many applications.
- DeCAL 1803 has been designed for use in the presence of cationic and non-ionic co-ingredients. It allows cold mixing in aqueous systems, thereby increasing process speed and efficiency, and reducing energy costs in manufacture.
- DeCAL 1803 does not require neutralization or the addition of sodium chloride to achieve viscosity build. DeCAL 1803 enables formulators to viscosify products over a wide pH range and in particular in the acidic region.
- Additional performance feature: DeCAL 1803 also acts as an effective opacifier.

- Safety Handling
DeCAL 1803 is an emulsion polymer dispersion. Settlement of the polymer can occur with time. This is not detrimental to the product, its properties or its thickening efficiency performance. It is good practice that the product is agitated prior to use. Do not allow to freeze.
