Ethomer HM 200

Ethomer series of HAZE Monomers are specialty methacrylic based monomers providing enhanced performance in the manufacture of Hydrophobically modified Alkali Swellable Emulsions (HASE) rheology modifiers. These thickeners manufactured by using Ethomers are a cost effective replacement to HEC. Ethomer Monomers can give a formulator the option of choosing from a wide range of shear profile.

Chemical Family: Acrylics, Acrylates & Methacrylates
