Application Method

• DeCAL 1805 enhances performance whilst promoting excellent spreading characteristics.
• DeCAL 1805 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.
• Also DeCAL 1805 does not require neutralization or heat, and activates simply by agitation. DeCAL 1805 also aids suspension and stabilization of other coingredients, and its high thickening efficiency means that only low usage levels are required in many applications.
• DeCAL 1805 has been designed for use in the presence of cationic and nonionic co-ingredients. It allows cold mixing in aqueous systems, thereby increasing process speed and efficiency, and reducing energy costs in manufacture.
• DeCAL 1805 does not require neutralization or the addition of sodium chloride to achieve viscosity build. DeCAL 1805 enables formulators to viscosify products over a wide pH range and in particular in the acidic region.

Safety Handling

DeCAL 1805 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.
